For a quick & dirty solution, slap this in the functions.php file of your theme

Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Method 1

You might also try:

If you only have one size thumbnail:

$thumbnail = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ) );

Or…if you have multiple sizes:

$thumbnail = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), "size" );

Note that wp_get_attachment_image_src() returns an array: url, width, height, is_intermediate.

So if you just want only the image url:

echo $thumbnail[0];

Method 2

This does the trick:

<?php wp_get_attachment_image_src('subgall-thumb'); ?>

Make sure you use the correct name for the thumbnail that you are calling.

Method 3

Since WordPress 4.4, there’s an efficient core function that can handle this in a cleaner way than the answers here.

You can use the_post_thumbnail_url( $size ) which will print the URL of the post thumbnail.

Alternatively if you want to return the URL instead of immediately output it, you can use $url = get_the_post_thumbnail_url( $post_id, $size )

Method 4

Ok got it using simplexml_load_string

$dom = simplexml_load_string(get_the_post_thumbnail());
$src = $dom->attributes()->src;
    echo $src;

Another method are welcome.

Method 5

Please Use the below code

<?php get_the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?>

If It’s not enough to achieve your goal then try below code

<?php $postimages = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( get_the_ID() ), 'large' );

// Check for images if ( $postimages ) {

    // Get featured image   $postimage = $postimages[0];

} else {} while (have_posts() && $i < 8) : the_post(); echo esc_url( $postimage ); ?>

Method 6

For a quick & dirty solution, slap this in the functions.php file of your theme

FUNCTION GET_STRING_BETWEEN($STRING, $START, $END){
    $STRING = " ".$STRING;
    $INI = STRPOS($STRING, $START);
    IF ($INI == 0) RETURN "";
    $INI += STRLEN($START);
    $LEN = STRPOS($STRING, $END, $INI) - $INI;
    RETURN SUBSTR($STRING, $INI, $LEN);
}

Used within the loop, this will give you what you’re looking for

This will return something like http://foo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/toy-story-two-was-ok.jpg

$THE_FEATURED_IMAGE = GET_STRING_BETWEEN(get_the_post_thumbnail(NULL,'post-large'), 'src="', '" class="');

* “Within the loop” = look for something like while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

**You can also sub out “post-large” with any of these predefined image sizes :
post-thumbnail,
post-medium,
post-full
