Hi Matt, sorry I think the code you used didn’t get printed.
you can use backticks or just omit the php tags. I need to find a way to ease the publish of code.

Well to output your large “thumbnail” you can use this:

How to return the image instead of displaying it

In some scenarios, you might want to return the post image for use in your PHP code instead of displaying it.

Here’s an example of that functionality:

$image = get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, ‘large’ );

Note that the large in the code was specified by Matt M. from Automatic not to be used… so maybe an array there would be better. let me know if this helps.

cheers.

Nice article Brian! It really helped me out a great deal. I am having one problem. Maybe you know how to achieve this. I am using this code inside a theme:

It picks up the medium thumbnail, but it doesn’t link correctly with all the things I have tried including

any ideas on how I can go about retrieving the “Large” picture URL to input in to the $thumbnail variable?

Cheers
