how to get the post attachement image in full size?

Question

Hi i am using the normal loop to get the post content. Objective is to show images or videos in the blog.

I tried the_content() for the loop but am getting the thumbnail image i belive, What i want is the original image should be there.

Here is the code

<?php if ( have_posts() ) :
              while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
                   the_content();//by this am getting the medium sized images from the post content as it is uploaded through add media
              endwhile;
              endif;
        ?>

Now i want to show full size of the image for each post. How to do it.

can anybody help?

Answer 1

Since you say that your image is "uploaded through add media", you need to select the full sized image when you attach it to the post, not when you try to display it. You should even see in the markup that a smaller size has been chosen (by you).

Look over on the right side in the sidebar toward the bottom. You should see a dropdown that will let you choose "size".

Answer 2

This outputs the Post Thumbnail/Featured Image in full size:

<?php
    if ( has_post_thumbnail())
    {
      $full = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( get_the_ID() ), 'full' );
      echo '<img src="' . $full[0] . '">';
    } else {
      echo 'No post thumbnail.';
    }
  ?>
