Answer 1

you can also use for getting the url for image attachments as follows:

<?php
"<div><a href=".get_permalink(id).">".wp_get_attachment_url(304, array(50,50), 1)."</a></div>";
?>

Answer 2

If you want JUST the source, and not an array with other information:

<?php $url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'thumbnail' ); ?>
<img src="<?php echo $url ?>" />

 

Answer 3

You can try this:

<?php 
$feat_image = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) ); 
echo $feat_image; 
?>

Answer 4

<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "mabp_thumbnail_url", true); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" width ="100%" height ="" />

Answer 5

You can try this.

   $image_url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) );
?>
<a href="<?php echo $image_url; ?>" rel="prettyPhoto">

This is the most simplest answer. <?php $img = get_the_post_thumbnail_url($postID,'post-thumbnail' ); ?>
