Local Thumbnails Come with Wrong Path/URL

Hi I am using the get_the_post_thumbnail() so ti will return the featured image with the size that I want and have specified under the Media settings on wordpress, but when I do this, the path for the image comes like this:

http://192.168.0.2/~philipetauk/zenarts/wp-content/uploads/http://b.vimeocdn.com/ts/177/307/177307061_640.jpg

It was suppose to grab the local thumbnail and the sir that I want but that is not the case, can you please help and let me know what do to.

If I use get_video_thumbnail($post->ID) it does work and show me the image but with the wrong size, I need the to be able to grab the featured image and specify a size.

I think WordPress is saving the external path in the database somehow.

Thank you,
Philipe

That’s really strange, what is the image URL returned for get_video_thumbnail($post->ID)?

Are you running any other plugins that modify WordPress uploads?

The path response for get_video_thumbnail($post->ID)? is:
http://192.168.0.2/~philipetauk/zenarts/wp-content/uploads/http://b.vimeocdn.com/ts/177/307/177307061_640.jpg

I am using this plugin that batch resizes all the media images:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

I tried deactivating it, but the problem persists.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hmmm, regenerate Thumbnails wouldn’t be causing that (it’s a great plugin by the way), have you tried it with videos from other sources or ran the “Test Saving to Media Library” in the Video Thumbnails debugging section?

The “Test Saving to Media Library” works fine, if I do use a YouTube the <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, “thumbnail”, “”); ?> will work. 😐 So I assume is something related to Vimeo. Weird.

Do you think I can change the plugin the function named: video_thumbnail() to return me the thumbnail size for the image always, since I just need this?

The video_thumbnail() function reads a custom field just for Video Thumbnails, so there’s no way for me to get the thumbnail size without using get_the_post_thumbnail(). I’m kinda stumped by this, because if the URL is getting saved correctly in the custom field for Video Thumbnails, I don’t know why WordPress would be having trouble.
