  1. 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 id="custom-bg" style="background-image: url('<?php echo $image[0]; ?>')">

  </div>
<?php endif; ?>

  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 ?>" />

     

  10. 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.

  11. 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">

  13. 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'); 
}

  14. 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 ?>" 
/>

  15. <?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; ?>

  16. 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);

  17. 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 class="col col_4_of_12">
    <div class="article_standard_view">
        <article class="item">
            <div class="item_header">
                <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img src="<?php the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?>" alt="Post"></a>
            </div>

        </article>
    </div>
</div>            
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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>";
?>

  21. 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 ?>" />
