get_thumbnail_src()

Get only the URL for the specific thumbnail sizes of an ID, or from the attachment ID directly.

PHP November 17, 2020

Usage

PHP
nebula()->get_thumbnail_src($id, $size, $type)

Parameters

$id
(Required) (Integer) The post ID
Default: None

$size
(Optional) (String) The size name to get
Default: full

$type
(Optional) (String) Whether the ID is a post or attachment
Default: post

Parameter Notes

The $size parameter can contain any default WordPress or custom image size name.

Default WordPress Image Sizes:

  • “thumbnail” (150px square)
  • “medium” (max 300px width)
  • “large” (max 1024px width)
  • “full” (original image)

Be careful using “full” (which is the default for this function) because if an enormous image is uploaded, that is the file that will be loaded on the frontend!

Default Nebula Image Sizes:

  • “square” (512px square)
  • “open_graph_large” (1200 x 630px)
  • “open_graph_small” (600 x 315px)
  • “twitter_large” (280 x 150px)
  • “twitter_small” (200px square)

Remember: if the source image is not large enough, that image size will not be created.

Examples

PHP
<?php echo nebula()->get_thumbnail_src(get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'twitter_large')); ?>
PHP
<?php echo nebula()->get_thumbnail_src($post->ID, 'twitter_large'); ?>

Using as an inline background image

HTML
<div style="background: url(<?php echo nebula()->get_thumbnail_src(get_the_id()); ?>) no-repeat bottom right;"></div>

Get a specific size of an attachment image (like from an ACF image field)
