Allowing DFI only in specific post types

You can use dfi_post_types filter to allow DFI only in a specific post types.

function allowed_post_types() {
    return array('post'); //show DFI only in post
}
add_filter('dfi_post_types', 'allowed_post_types');

function blocked_post_types() {
    return array('page'); //block DFI in page
}
add_filter('dfi_post_type_user_filter', 'blocked_post_types');

Changing the metabox default text

Use dfi_set_metabox_title filter to change the metabox default title (Featured Image)

function set_metabox_title( $title ) {
    return "My custom metabox title";
}
add_filter('dfi_set_metabox_title', 'set_metabox_title');

Translation Guidelines

All translations live in the languages folder.

If you are interested in translating the plugin in your language, first make sure if the translation is not already available. The name of the file is important because there’s a particular format you should follow for consistency. For example, if you’re translating Nepali for Nepal, the file should be dynamic-featured-image-ne_NP.po – dynamic-featured-image for the plugin itself, ne for the language and NP for the country.
