Get the Post Thumbnail URL in WordPress
Here’s a quick one for you. This is how to get the URL only of the post thumbnail in WordPress
$thumb = wp_get_attachment_image_src(
get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID),
$size
);$url = $thumb['0'];
The first function wp_get_attachment_image_src takes the $attachment_id you’re after and the $size you want.
It returns an array containing the $url, $width, $height, and a boolean if this is a re-sized image (true) or not (false).
From there you just grab $thumb[0] to get the URL.
I mainly put these here so I can refer back to them when I need them instead of searching everywhere again. But, maybe it’ll be of some use to you, as well.
