Featured Image Attachment Page
6 replies · Started by Ernst Wilhelm on December 1, 2020
It is possible to assign a featured image to an attachment page manually. So an image can be its own featured image on its own attachment image.
How can I get this with an 'automatic process'? There are several searching plugins out in the fields which allows searching for images but they show images only for a post only in case of an existing image.
Is this clear and can you help me in this?
I've tried the code snippets already provided in request https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/how-to-show-images-attachments-in-search-results/ . Not successful, no image.
Hi there,
did you try the final code that Tom provided here:
With that applied can you share a link to where i can see the issue?
Hi. Yes I did. The code is embedded in the child functions.php. The child theme is activated.
Searching for the string slider 15 attachments are found (ok). One of them is showing a featured image which I assigned manually.

Thank you, Ernst-Wilhelm
Just to confirm, are you wanting your attachments to display their attachment image as their featured image on archive pages?
Let me know :)
Hi Tom.
Are you wanting your attachments to display their attachment image as their featured image on archive pages?
So far I have not thought about archive pages, my priority is the display in search results.
Beyond that. Yes that's it. Thanks for asking.

Haven't found much in my searches for this.
One idea.. not sure it will work:
add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_html', function( $html, $post_id ) {
if ( 'attachment' === get_post_type( $post_id ) ) {
$html = wp_get_attachment_image();
}
return $html;
}, 10, 2 );Hi. Many thanks for your support. No. It's not working. That's the only code piece, right? We can close this support topic but I am also willing to go on with another try.
