Get the path of the first attached media (single.php)

Question

I'm currently developing a wallpaper website using WordPress and I'm trying to figure it out how to retrieve the path of the first attached media in the post so I can display the path in the post (e.g., /wp-content/uploads/image.png). I tried a lot of WordPress functions such as get_attached_media() but I had no luck.

Answer 1

I tried to write some snippet with the help of WordPress codex. Please check below and update it further as per your needs. I hope this helps:

global $post;

$args = array(
    'numberposts' => 1,
    'order' => 'ASC',
    'post_mime_type' => 'image',
    'post_parent' => $post->ID,
    'post_status' => null,
    'post_type' => 'attachment',
);

$attachments = get_children( $args );

if ( $attachments ) {
   foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {
      $image_attributes = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment->ID, 'full' );
      echo wp_get_attachment_url($attachment->ID);
      echo '<img src="' . wp_get_attachment_thumb_url( $attachment->ID ) . '" class="current">';
}
}

Answer 2

So I finally found out how to display the path of the first attached media in the post. Here is the code I inserted in single.php to display the path at the end of the content :

<?php
$image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'full' );
$path = parse_url($image_url[0], PHP_URL_PATH);

echo /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/uploads$path;
?>

Result (for exemple): /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/image.jpg

Hope it will help someone else!
