Hi Lee,

Thanks so much for this bit of code, it helped tremendously.

I was just curious though. I’m incorporating it into a CSS sheet that has several IDs with background images. However, it is using the same image for each of the specific IDs. Is there a way to to make the image url link to the thumbnail of its particular post without repeating?

Thanks!

In reply to Devdatt Gurjar. Thanks both the author and Devdatt. I was looking for a way to retrieve the thumb alone from outside the loop and his solution worked. :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I’ve been searching for this for hours on the WordPress Codex and forums! I knew it shouldn’t be difficult to get just the URL of the attachment instead of it showing up as a complete img tag. I didn’t think it would be so hard to find the answer.
