Unlike the traditional way of attaching images (or attachments) to posts by inserting them in the post content, this plugin allows you to attach images to posts in a manner
that lets you control the way the images are later displayed in your theme.
It adds a metabox to the edit screen that lets you select/upload images (similar to the “Featured Image” metabox).
The images attached to a post can then later be gotten by the following means:
twp_the_post_images($size).This will return an array of objects where each object contains information about an image.
