How to get the WordPress post thumbnail (featured image) URL?

I am using this function to get the featured images:

<a href="#" rel="prettyPhoto">
    <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?>
</a>

Now I want to get the full featured image on click on the anchor tag for which I need a featured image URL in

<a href="here" rel="prettyPhoto">

How can I fix this?

<?php if (have_posts()) : while( have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   <?php $featured_img_url = get_the_post_thumbnail_url(get_the_ID(),'full'); ?>  

<?php endwhile; else: endif; ?>

if you want to fetch full image size from post thumbnail you can use this code.

$img_url = wp_get_attachment_image_url(get_post_thumbnail_id(get_the_ID()), 'full');
<img src="<?PHP echo $img_url?> ">

here, get_the_ID() is post id.

You can get image src for specific size by wp_get_attachment_url function.

<?php 
    $url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'full' ); 
?>
<img src="<?php echo $url ?>" />

Simply inside the loop write <?php the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?> as shown below:-

$args=array('post_type' => 'your_custom_post_type_slug','order' => 'DESC','posts_per_page'=> -1) ;
$the_qyery= new WP_Query($args);

if ($the_qyery->have_posts()) :
    while ( $the_qyery->have_posts() ) : $the_qyery->the_post();?>

<div class="col col_4_of_12">
    <div class="article_standard_view">
        <article class="item">
            <div class="item_header">
                <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img src="<?php the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?>" alt="Post"></a>
            </div>

        </article>
    </div>
</div>            
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

I had searched a lot and found nothing, until I got this:

<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail_url( null, 'full' ); ?>

Which simply give you the full image URL without the entire <img> tag.

Hope that can help you.

Try this one

<?php 
    echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post_id, 'thumbnail', array('class' => 'alignleft')); 
?>

You can also get the URL for image attachments as follows:

<?php
    "<div><a href=".get_permalink(id).">".wp_get_attachment_url(304, array(50,50), 1)."</a></div>";
?>

You can try this:

<?php 
    $feat_image = wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID)); 
    echo $feat_image; 
?>

Use:

<?php 
    $image_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'thumbnail_size');

    $feature_image_url = $image_src[0]; 
?>

You can change the thumbnail_size value as per your required size.

If the post is an image and we already know what the image is, it's possible to get the thumbnail URL without too much hassle:

echo pathinfo($image->guid, PATHINFO_DIRNAME);

You will try this

<?php $url = wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'full'); ?> // Here you can manage your image size like medium, thumbnail, or custom size
    <img src="<?php echo $url ?>" 
/>

This is the simplest answer:

<?php
    $img = get_the_post_thumbnail_url($postID, 'post-thumbnail');
?>

I think this is the easiest solution and the updated one:

<?php the_post_thumbnail('single-post-thumbnail'); ?>

You can also get the URL for image attachments as follows. It works fine.

if (has_post_thumbnail()) {
    $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'medium'); 
}

You can also get it from post_meta like this:

echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'featured_image', true);

If you want JUST the source, and not an array with other information:

<?php $url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'thumbnail' ); ?>
<img src="<?php echo $url ?>" />
