                下面是一个完整的示例Featured image meta box 在外部显示和工作wp-admin/post.php 页面上下文(自WordPress 4.6以来,请参见wp-admin/includes/post.php), 这可能是您想知道代码存储在哪里的原因之一:
/**
 * Featured image metabox
 *
 * @uses _wp_post_thumbnail_html
 *
 * @param int    $post_id   Post ID.
 * @param string $post_type Post type.
 */
function featured_image_metabox( $post_id, $post_type ) {
    // @see edit-form-advanced.php
    $thumbnail_support = current_theme_supports( \'post-thumbnails\', $post_type ) && post_type_supports( $post_type, \'thumbnail\' );
    if ( ! $thumbnail_support ||
        ! current_user_can( \'upload_files\' ) ) {
        return;
    }
    // All meta boxes should be defined and added before the first do_meta_boxes() call (or potentially during the do_meta_boxes action).
    require_once ABSPATH . \'wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php\';
    if ( ! $post_id ) {
        // New post.
        $post = get_default_post_to_edit( $post_type, true );
        // Fix PHP error. Add filter so get_post( $post ) returns our post!
        $post->filter = \'raw\';
    } else {
        $post = get_post( $post_id );
    }
    $thumbnail_id = get_post_meta( $post->ID, \'_thumbnail_id\', true );
    if ( ! $thumbnail_id ) {
        $thumbnail_id = -1;
    }
    $post_type_object = get_post_type_object( $post_type );
    $title = $post_type_object->labels->featured_image;
    ?>
    <script>
        jQuery( document ).ready(function( e ) {
            wp.media.view.settings.post.id = <?php echo json_encode( $post->ID ); ?>;

            wp.media.view.settings.post.nonce = <?php echo json_encode( wp_create_nonce( \'update-post_\' . $post->ID ) ); ?>;
        });
    </script>
