get_thumbnail_id returns full size image

Question

I want a thumbnail of the featured image of the posts as a URL. So I'm using the following code to get a smaller size of the featured image.

$post[$i]['thumbnail'] = wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_thumbnail_id($post[$i]['id'], 'thumbnail'));

However all the time it returns the full size image, I even tried,

 $post[$i]['thumbnail'] = wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_thumbnail_id($post[$i]['id'], array(120,140)));

But still it returns the large image. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Hey First add this line into your function.php file

add_image_size( 'custom-size', 120, 140 );

Then call custom-size like this

<?php $thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( $id );
                if ( '' != $thumb_id ) {
                    $thumb_url  = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $thumb_id, 'custom-size', true );
                    $image      = $thumb_url[0];
                }?>
            <img src="<?php echo $image;?>">

I think it work fine

You can try using the wp_get_attachment_image_src()

$thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id($post[$i]['id']);
$thumb_url_array = wp_get_attachment_image_src($thumb_id, 'thumbnail', true);
$post[$i]['thumbnail'] = $thumb_url_array[0];

In the above code, wp_get_attachment_image_src() returns an array with image src, height and width, $thumb_url_array[0] is your thumbnail.

Answer 3

The Syntax is defined as

<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post_id, $size, $attr ); ?> 

You can get default wordpress thumbnail size (150X150) by following code

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

If you want a custom size thumbnail, then use bellow code :

<?php get_the_post_thumbnail( $post_id, array( 200, 200) ); ?>
