Page Header Featured Image Template Tag

Hi, is there a template tag for using the featured image within the HTML content section?

Something like {{post_thumbnail}} or {{post_image}}...

I need to use the featured image as an image in the content rather than just the background. I could create a custom field but would prefer to avoid that is possible.

Thank you!

Oh, wanted to add... I need it to use the featured image of the page the page header is being used on -- not the featured image on the page header itself -- hope that makes sense. :)

Doh, found it.

{{custom_field._thumbnail_id}}

:)

I guess one follow-up question.

Do page header {{custom_field}} tags work with ACF?

Nevermind, I found out it does.

A thread all to myself! ;)

Glad you got it all working! This thread will likely be very helpful to others :)

Thanks!

Hi Tom. Follow-up question.

Is there a way to target specific image sizes with {{custom_field._thumbnail_id}}?

Thanks!

There is!

Try this:

add_filter( 'generate_page_header_thumbnail_id_size', 'tu_adjust_page_header_featured_image' );
function tu_adjust_page_header_featured_image() {
    return 'full';
}

Hi Tom, I'm not a coder so beware!

I follow everything up to why you provided the "add_filter" php??? code snippet, but where do I add this code? Do I use the Elements functionality? Or do I need to install the "Code Snippets" plugin?

Just a nudge in the right direction and I'll probably "get it." Thanks!
