image_downsize() – Function | Developer.WordPress.org

Scales an image to fit a particular size (such as ‘thumb’ or ‘medium’).

Description

The URL might be the original image, or it might be a resized version. This function won’t create a new resized copy, it will just return an already resized one if it exists.

A plugin may use the ‘image_downsize’ filter to hook into and offer image resizing services for images. The hook must return an array with the same elements that are normally returned from the function.

Parameters

$idintrequired: Attachment ID for image.
$sizestring|int[]optional: Image size. Accepts any registered image size name, or an array of width and height values in pixels (in that order). Default 'medium'.
Default:'medium'

Return

array|false Array of image data, or boolean false if no image is available.

0 string
Image source URL.
1 int
Image width in pixels.
2 int
Image height in pixels.
3 bool
Whether the image is a resized image.

Add a function to select medium attachment images

Maybe you already know wp_get_attachment_thumb_url() ;. Now I’m showing how to do the same thing to return the url for the medium sized attachment.
```
function wp_get_attachment_medium_url( $id )
{
    $medium_array = image_downsize( $id, 'medium' );
    $medium_path = $medium_array[0];

    return $medium_path;
}
```
$id is the ID of the attachment. This can be really useful for plugins like WP-Choose-Thumb. With this function you can get the medium sized previews.
