如何在Wordpress中发表的最新帖子中返回精选图片？

Question

I want to add a "Pic of the Week" feature on my homepage. I set it up so I created a post category "Pic of the Week" and I will make a post and add the pic as the featured image. I'm looking for the PHP to return the last featured image on the last post that was made in a specific category.

I'm really not sure where to start for this so I apologize for not putting what I've tried. So far I've found

<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

Answer 1

You may try this (get the last post by category name ad then get the featured image using it's id )

$args = array(
    'category_name' => 'Pic of the Week',
    'posts_per_page' => 1,
    'order_by' => 'date',
    'order' => 'desc'
);

$post = get_posts( $args );
if($post) {
    $post_id = $post[0]->ID;
    if(has_post_thumbnail($post_id)){
        // use one of these
        echo get_the_post_thumbnail($page->ID, 'thumbnail');
        echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post_id, array(80, 80), array('class' => 'post_thumbnail') );
    }
}

First of all I would get the postID using the get recent posts function :

wp_get_recent_posts( $args, $output )

This will allow you to get the post ID. You can then use the follow to get the image.

$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' );
