How to get WordPress post featured image URL

I am using this function to get the featured images:

<a href="#" rel="prettyPhoto"> <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?>
</a>

Now I want to get the full featured image on click on the anchor tag for which I need a featured image URL in

<a href="here" rel="prettyPhoto">

How can I fix this?

Check the code below and let me know if it works for you.

<?php if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ): ?> <?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?> <div> </div>
<?php endif; ?>

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 ?>" />

// Try it inside loop.
<?php
$feat_image = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) );
echo $feat_image;
?>

Easy way!

 <?php wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_thumbnail_id(get_the_ID())) ?>

This perfectly worked for me:

<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail_url($post_id, 'thumbnail'); ?>

I think this is the easiest solution and the updated one:

<?php the_post_thumbnail('single-post-thumbnail'); ?>

This is the simplest answer:

<?php $img = get_the_post_thumbnail_url($postID, 'post-thumbnail');
?>

You can try this:

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

Try this one

<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post_id, 'thumbnail', array('class' => 'alignleft'));
?>

I had searched a lot and found nothing, until I got this:

<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail_url( null, 'full' ); ?>

Which simply give you the full image URL without the entire <img> tag.

Hope that can help you.

You can try this.

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

You can also get it from post_meta like this:

echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'featured_image', true);

You can also get the URL for image attachments as follows. It works fine.

if (has_post_thumbnail()) { $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'medium');
}

You will try this

<?php $url = wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'full'); ?> // Here you can manage your image size like medium, thumbnail, or custom size <img src="<?php echo $url ?>"
/>
<?php if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ): $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' );
?> <img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>">
<?php endif; ?>

If the post is an image and we already know what the image is, it's possible to get the thumbnail URL without too much hassle:

echo pathinfo($image->guid, PATHINFO_DIRNAME);

Use:

<?php $image_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'thumbnail_size'); $feature_image_url = $image_src[0];
?>

You can change the thumbnail_size value as per your required size.

You can also get 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>";
?>

Simply inside the loop write <?php the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?> as shown below:-

$args=array('post_type' => 'your_custom_post_type_slug','order' => 'DESC','posts_per_page'=> -1) ;
$the_qyery= new WP_Query($args);
if ($the_qyery->have_posts()) : while ( $the_qyery->have_posts() ) : $the_qyery->the_post();?>
<div> <div> <article> <div> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img src="<?php the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?>" alt="Post"></a> </div> </article> </div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

You can get image src for specific size by wp_get_attachment_url function.

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

if you want to fetch full image size from post thumbnail you can use this code.

$img_url = wp_get_attachment_image_url(get_post_thumbnail_id(get_the_ID()), 'full');
<img src="<?PHP echo $img_url?> ">

here, get_the_ID() is post id.

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