    Tech Wordpress: One line of php. Can anyone help?

    Hey guys.
    I recently bought a Wordpress theme from a couple of guys who do not have such a good reputation here in the forum.
    The support, unfortunately, does not answer, so I'm here to ask if anyone can help with a line php.

    Google says the video-tag for "thumbnailUrl" is missing. This sucks, because the theme is meant for videos.

    This is the code on the theme:
    Code:
    <meta itemprop="thumbnailUrl" content="<?php echo $thumb; ?>" />
    This is the output on my site:
    Code:
    <meta itemprop="thumbnailUrl" content="" />
    Yepp, I have added a featured image/thumbnail to each post, but somehow there is no output. So i guess, there is a small glitch in the php code.
    I tried several codes, to get at least something.
    Example:
    Code:
    <meta itemprop="thumbnailUrl" content="<?php echo $get_the_post_thumbnail_url; ?>" />

<meta itemprop="thumbnailUrl" content="<?php echo the_post_thumbnail_url; ?>" />
    I even tried this, just for a test, if anything comes up:
    Code:
    <meta itemprop="thumbnailUrl" content="<?php echo $title; ?>" />
    And, voila, I get the title of the post. So basically the meta itemprop="thumbnailUrl" content=" is correct, only the php-part is not.

    Solution?

      I'm going offline now but get_the_post_thumbnail_url and the_post_thumbnail_url are functions so you call them like this
      Code:
      <?php get_the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?>
      Check the WP reference for usage (image size etc):
      https://developer.wordpress.org/refe...thumbnail_url/
      https://developer.wordpress.org/refe...thumbnail_url/

              I had a similar problem recently. Does the theme use custom fields for images rather than native wordpress featured images perhaps?

              *edit*
              If you are talking about a WP-Script theme, copy the featured image url to "Main thumbnail" block and update post.
              .
