Secondary Image URL

  • hello, i’ve read a lot of different topics about my problem. but can’t seem to find any solution..

    I have articles, each of them have two thumnails. The main one, and the secondary-thumbnail one, generated with multiple post thumbnails.

    I’m trying to return only the URL of the secondary image, in my single.php as an inline CSS.

    my code is like that : 

    <div class="article-img" style=" background-image: url(
					<?php $src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), array(1900,800), false, ” ); echo $src[0];?>); background-size:cover;">
					</div>

    what am I supposed to do ? I’ve pretty much tried everything. I know that at the moment it returns the URL of the main Thumbnail. Don’t know how to change that.

    thank you in advance.

  • Hi Estellechvl,

    Did you find any solution for this? I need to get the URL for my second thumbnail as well, but nothing helps at the moment.

    My code for the first thumbnail works fine:

    <?php $src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), ‘post-thumbnails’ );?>
    <div class=”background” style=”background-image: url(‘<?php echo $src[‘0′];?>’)”>

    Hey Niels. Unfortunately, I did not find any solution.

    I had two thumbnails but only needed one returning a background image. So I switched. And used “secondary-image-url” to return an image, and the first thumbnail to return the url.

    If you do find a solution, please, write it here ??

    Is there still no way to get just the URL of secondary images?
    Or the id of the attachment that is the secondary-image?

    I don’t want to print the image instantly,
    I actually need to pass the url to json, since
    my website will use AJAX for most image loading needs.

    OK, so I actually found the solution here in support forums,
    turns out there are multiple threads around this issue;

    Most likely reason – it’s not included in quick start guide or documentation in general.

    Use this inside your wp query loop:

    MultiPostThumbnails::get_post_thumbnail<strong>_url</strong>( get_post_type(), 'secondary-image');

    Notice the _url, that’s the key.
