I have noticed that using the post_thumbnail() function in Wordpress inserts the image including the img-tag. Is there a way to have it insert ONLY the src of that image?
Sofar i have tried this
$image = get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'thumbnail' ); echo $image;
but it just exports the same.
Any ideas? thanks in advance for your help :)
Found answer. Thanks anyway.
<?php
//Get the Thumbnail URL
$src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), array(320,240), false, '' );
echo $src[0];
?>
Post Thumbnail Linking to large Image Size
This example links to the “large” Post Thumbnail image size and must be used within The Loop.
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
$large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'large' );
if ( ! empty( $large_image_url[0] ) ) {
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( $large_image_url[0] ) . '" title="' . the_title_attribute( array( 'echo' => 0 ) ) . '">';
echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'thumbnail' );
echo '</a>';
}}
