I tried this and it only returned this text:

/images/default.jpg

Any ideas how to fix this?

How would you return the ‘medium’ size version of the image? Seems like you would have to change the “return” method of display…

Any ideas? Thanks.

How can I get more than just the first image?

Have partially answered my question! I am using this coding to extract the first image from a post to display on a webpage in my website (not a WordPress blog). So, instead of adding the php coding into the functions.php file in my theme, I have placed it in the php on my webpage.
RESULT!

Pierre, take a look at these two sites. this might help to get the requested image from your gallery.

Hi logesh, take a look here:

// get the first image attached to the current post
function aldenta_get_post_image($size = ‘thumbnail’) {
global $post;

$photos = get_children( array(‘post_parent’ => $post->ID, ‘post_status’ => ‘inherit’, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order ID’) );

if ($photos) {
$photo = array_shift($photos);
return wp_get_attachment_image($photo->ID, $size);
}

return false;
}

// the html tag for the first image or false if no image is found
$photo = aldenta_get_post_image();

// end

My theme (premium theme and purchased by themify) supports featured image but it creates another problems. If I don’t use featured image option in posts, homepage does not show images with the post meanwhile if I used featured post utility in post it shows single photo two times.

Can you help me how I can sort out this problem.

with thanks and regards,

Sunil

The code works fine but if you want to display the caption of the image?
Do you have any hint (something to add to the code) so it displays the central caption of the image rather than displaying thumbnail, full size or the distorted size?

Anyway this could work with pages? I want to get the first image of a specific page.

Hello, any chance you can tell me how to pull this image to another php page that will be displaying multiple blogs. The page I’m pulling to is on the same domain.. just pulling multiple blogs to one index.php. Please help!

Hello,
if you turn on the WP_Debug you will receive an Undefined offset 0 error on the line were this code 7 where this code is written : $first_img = $matches [1] [0];

is their any possible way to solve it, because my theme is not getting accepted in WordPress Respiratory because of that error.

To get next image, just change $matches [1] [0]; to $matches [1] [1]; or $matches [1] [2]; and so on.

Hi.

I love this and I’m implementing it in a theme I’m working on right now.
There is however one thing I’m missing. Is there a way to make the image clickable? So when I click the image. It will for example open the original image in lightbox?

Very useful, thanks a lot!
