I can confirm that there are still performance issues, just as before.

This works.

<?php $img_id = get_post_thumbnail_id();;
// orginal image
$original_img = wp_get_attachment_image_src ($img_id, 'original');
list($original_src, $original_width, $original_height) = $original_img;
// medium image
$medium_img = wp_get_attachment_image_src ($img_id, 'medium');
list($medium_src, $medium_width, $medium_height) = $medium_img;
// option medium max width
$max_width = intval(get_option('medium_size_w'));

$begin_a = '';
$end_a = '';
if ($original_width > $max_width) {
$begin_a = '<a href="'.$original_src.'">';
$end_a = '</a>';
} ?>
<?php echo $begin_a;?><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'medium','class=alignleft' ); ?><?php echo $end_a;?>

Thank you! That is indeed exactly what I was after!

To add <p> and </p> before and after the snippet I tried inserting the <p>s here, but that only applies to the case where the picture uploaded is 500px wide or smaller.

$begin_a = '<p>';
$end_a = '</p>';

Sure I could add it to the html, but the best would of course be to only output the <p>s if there is a thumbnail image for the post.

Thank you once again!

Thanks!
Now I only need to figure out how to output just the url for the original size image (without the <img /> tag).

Can’t see to do that with either of the following:
post_image(); get_post_image_id(); the_post_image(); get_the_post_image()

Are there more?

How future proof would a solution like that be? Is there a chance it would break with the next WordPress version?

I only have a 2.7.1 install to look at at the moment. Are you referring to “Insert into Post” in “Add an Image” > “Media Library”?

thank you!
