Can the_post_thumbnail also output the link to the large image version?

    Hi,

    I would like the_post_thumbnail function to output the thumbnail that links to the large (not the original) version of that same image.

    Is there a way I can do that using functions.php ?

    For now it simply outputs the thumbnail url.

    Many thanks

    Sure thing!
    Try this:

    the_post_thumbnail('large');

    Haven’t tried it but ‘full’ might work as well.
    or if you want to specify the size, try this:

    the_post_thumbnail( array(100,100) );

    OK I was not clear enough, sorry about that.

    the_post_thumbnail outputs:

    <img src="http://link.to/img-thumbnail.jpg" />

    I would like it to output:

    <a href="http://link.to/img-large.jpg"><img src="http://link.to/img-thumbnail.jpg" /></a>

    or simply:

    http://link.to/img-large.jpg

    if possible?

    Ah, got it.

    So I imagine that you’d want something like this:

    get’s thumbnail id
    $id = get_post_thumbnail_id();

    //This will output the link to the full image with a thumb that’s no more than 48×48.
    the_attachment_link( $id, false, array(48, 48) );

    This link should help with tweaking…
