I want to ger several recent posts. So I use wp_get_recent_posts. But I get only first image.
<?php $args = array( 'numberposts' => '3' );
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts($args);
foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
echo '<li><a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '">' . $recent["post_title"].'</a> </li> ';
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail');
}
}
?>

Actually, the condition is always returning false because you are not passing the post id to the function has_post_thumbnail()
and the function always getting the default value which is null
.
has_post_thumbnail( $recent["ID"] )
.
Same with the function get_the_post_thumbnail()
.
get_the_post_thumbnail( $recent["ID"] )
.
$args = array( 'numberposts' => '3' );
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts($args);
foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
if ( has_post_thumbnail( $recent["ID"]) ) {
echo get_the_post_thumbnail($recent["ID"],'thumbnail');
}
}
But if you use the functions has_post_thumbnail();
and get_the_post_thumbnail()
inside the WordPress The_Loop
then you don’t need to pass the post id.
$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => '3' );
$recent_posts = new WP_Query($args);
while( $recent_posts->have_posts() ) {
$recent_posts->the_post() ;
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
echo get_the_post_thumbnail();
}
}
wp_reset_postdata();
