where are the %thumbnail% handled in the code? where are they set? what files .. i cant seem to see where thats handled

im over here if you wanna talk
https://discord.gg/xFUhrGNP

you can ignore all the mysql stuff that custom stuff to keep up with new videos from youtube channels

i built a youtube channel scraper that posts new videos to your wordpress
it runs from a server c# project that acts like a cron job to execute webpages that scrapes youtube…
now i want to post the scraped news to twitter and any social i can.

i want to build a new ifttt system of my own

thats some background to know where im comming from

in my situation its a rss feed from youtube.. and the image is read from the rss feed. so i place it in the json.. ..
not sure what 100% the question

if you already have a post with a id and image try this

<?php if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ): ?>
<?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), ‘single-post-thumbnail’ ); ?>
<div id=”custom-bg” style=”background-image: url(‘<?php echo $image[0]; ?>’)”>

</div>
<?php endif; ?>
