# Thumbnail URL isn't loading

 * Hi,
 * I am trying to pull in my thumbnail URL, as it has a class and a data attribute,
   but it doesn’t load in the thumbnail. If I just have it as `<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()){
   the_post_thumbnail(array('full')); }?>` it works but I need the URL, not the 
   image.
 * See my code below:
 *     ```
       <div class="blog__item">
       	<?php
       	echo '<a href="',the_permalink(),'" class="blog__item__ftd-img" data-bg-	img="',the_post_thumbnail_url(),'"></a>';
       	?>
       	<h5><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h5>
       	<?php the_excerpt('<p>','</p>'); ?>
       	<?php the_date('F, Y', '<span class="date">', '</span>'); ?>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Try replacing the commas with periods. Your markup is wrong.
    ‘.get_the_permalink().’
