• My home page is set to show all post with a featured image. I want this image to be clickable to the original post.

    I assume I need to wrap the thumbnail code into a link tag with the permalink to the post, but I am not quite sure exactly where to put it. Any help apreciated!!

    This is from my content.php:

    ‘<article id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>>
    <?php
    if ( ” != get_the_post_thumbnail() ) :
    $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), ‘feat-img’ );

    // If the image is greater than or equal to 645, show it
    if ( $image[1] >= 645 ) :
    the_post_thumbnail( ‘feat-img’ );
    endif;
    endif;
    ?>’

    Thanks!

  • Do you have a homepage template file? Have you tried to
    <?php echo 'Testing to see if this is the active template'; ?>
    in various templates to see which one is being used? Once you find the tpl, then you can do something like this, in it:

    <a href="<?php echo get_attachment_link(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID)) ?>">
    <?php the_post_thumbnail('feat-img); ?></a>

    Thanks! The content.php that I took the above code from is the active template for my homepage. I just couldn’t figure out where to wrap the code with . See here:

    <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
    <?php
    if ( '' != get_the_post_thumbnail() ) :
    $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'feat-img' );
    
    // If the image is greater than or equal to 645, show it
    if ( $image[1] >= 645 ) :
    the_post_thumbnail( 'feat-img' );
    endif;
    endif;
    ?>

    Replace:

    <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
    <?php
    if ( '' != get_the_post_thumbnail() ) :
    $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'feat-img' );
    
    // If the image is greater than or equal to 645, show it
    if ( $image[1] >= 645 ) :
    the_post_thumbnail( 'feat-img' );
    endif;
    endif;
    ?>

    With this:

    <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
    <?php
    if ( '' != get_the_post_thumbnail() ) {
    $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'feat-img' );
    
    // If the image is greater than or equal to 645, show it
    if ( $image[1] >= 645 ) { ?>
    
    <a href="<?php echo get_attachment_link(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID)) ?>">
    <?php the_post_thumbnail('feat-img); ?></a>
    
    <?php
    }
    }
    ?>

    Thnak you. When I do that, tho, I am getting a syntax error. Is something wrong with this line: <?php the_post_thumbnail('feat-img); ?></a> ?

    That’s where it seems to start.
    Here’s the whole content.php

    <?php
    /**
     * @package Superhero
     * @since Superhero 1.0
     */
    ?>

    <?php
    if ( '' != get_the_post_thumbnail() ) {
    $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'feat-img' );
    
    // If the image is greater than or equal to 645, show it
    if ( $image[1] >= 645 ) { ?>
    
    <a href="<?php echo get_attachment_link(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID)) ?>">

    Yeah, sorry – I missed the ending single quote.
    This:
    <?php the_post_thumbnail('feat-img); ?></a>
    Should be this:
    <?php the_post_thumbnail('feat-img'); ?></a>

    Aha!! Good eye.
    So this works, but it takes you to the attachment image, not the corresponding post.

    Thanks for helping me. I appreciate this SO MUCH!

    This should link the image to the post to which it is attached:

    <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
    <?php
    if ( '' != get_the_post_thumbnail() ) {
    $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'feat-img' );
    
    // If the image is greater than or equal to 645, show it
    if ( $image[1] >= 645 ) { ?>
    
    <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID) ?>">
    <?php the_post_thumbnail('feat-img'); ?></a>
    
    <?php
    }
    }
    ?>
