[Resolved] Media Attachment Size for Header Element Background Image

[Jesse]

Can the Media Attachment Size set in Customiser be applied to the Background Image of Header Elements instead of always pulling in the full image size?

Hi there,

interesting idea – not an option at the moment but you can use this PHP snippet to change it:

add_filter( 'generate_page_hero_background_image_url', function( $image_url, $options ) {
    if ( is_singular() && has_post_thumbnail() ) {
        $image_url = get_the_post_thumbnail_url( get_the_ID(), 'large' );
    }

    return $image_url;
}, 10, 2 );

Awesome! That helps with performance a bit 🙂 Using an image shortcode may have been better, but this is great where a background image is used.

I realised that having this as an option may cause issues with the parallax setting if the chosen size isn’t big enough.

Thanks!

You’re welcome
