get_the_post_thumbnail() WordPress Function
The get_the_post_thumbnail() function is used to retrieve the post thumbnail for a given post. The function can be used with or without a post ID. If no post ID is specified, the function will retrieve the post thumbnail for the current post.
get_the_post_thumbnail( int|WP_Post $post = null, string|int[] $size = 'post-thumbnail', string|array $attr = '' ) #
Retrieves the post thumbnail.
Description
When a theme adds ‘post-thumbnail’ support, a special ‘post-thumbnail’ image size is registered, which differs from the ‘thumbnail’ image size managed via the Settings > Media screen.
When using the_post_thumbnail() or related functions, the ‘post-thumbnail’ image size is used by default, though a different size can be specified instead as needed.
Parameters
- $post
(int|WP_Post)(Optional) Post ID or WP_Post object. Default is global
$post.Default value: null
- $size
(string|int[])(Optional) Image size. Accepts any registered image size name, or an array of width and height values in pixels (in that order).
Default value: 'post-thumbnail'
- $attr
(string|array)(Optional) Query string or array of attributes.
Default value: ''
Return
(string) The post thumbnail image tag.
