Right on, thanks for this one. Very helpful and smart to reduce the image file size instead of just hard-coding the large image’s width to be the smaller dimension.

This is a boolshit. Everyone know this from WP documentation but it doesn’t return ‘medium’ size url.What this returns is a Full Size image URL + Medium size width and height this is useless for large enough lists of thumbnails like this one I have: http://www.bielousov.com/tag/toronto/ because the page becomes too heavy.

Hello,
This is very useful, thanks!

I was wondering if it’s possible to get medium size of an attachement if I don’t know $picture->ID, but rather url of attachment.

Thanks.

This information is priceless! Thanks so much for sharing. Was searching around quite a bit trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this.

Thanks – I didn’t get why I just got “Array” printed on the page, now I understand.

Thank you so much. This is really helpful.

Additionally I use the customfield for my image name and to find the image ID use an SQL like

$imageID=”SELECT * FROM `wp_posts` WHERE guid=’http://www.site.com/wp-content/uploads/$image[0]‘”;

Then I use your code and life is good

Thanks again…

Thank you! I wasn’t quite getting from the function to utilising the array output. I get it now!
