Add post title into title of Thumbnail

  • Hi, I’m use the_post_thumbnail to display a small thumbnail on the index page and a larger one on the post page. Which all works fine. However I can’t seem to set the title of the thumbnails to that of the title of the post.

    Can set a normal title no problem using: the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array( 'class' => 'alignleft', 'title'=> 'Normal Title' ));

    However i want to be able to put the title of the post in and not sure how to do it. I have tried using the_title(); but because its within the ‘ ‘ of the_post_thumbnail function I’m not sure how to do it.

    Can anyone help?

    The function works at the moment. In that i have small thumbnail for the home page and when i goto the post, it is a bigger version of the thumbnail.

    However because of the way you have to set the array title inside single quotes ” I’m not sure how to get php code within the single quotes. As it just outputs whatever is typed. I was expecting to use something like a . either side of the php code or & (something like that). At the moment i have just not included the ‘title’=>” code therefore it is using the title of the image that was uploaded.

    I think that the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array( 'class' => 'alignleft', 'title'=> the_title('','',false) )); is right solution for you.

    Check the link. Third argument defines option “echo (true) or return (false)”
