Featured image not showing on home.php

[dpuk44]

I cant work this one out for the life of me. The following code works great on my page.php, but cant get the same result on home.php

 

<!-- Main component for a primary marketing message or call to action -->


      <?php $feat_image = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) ); ?>


      <div class="jumbotron" style="background-image: url('<?php echo $feat_image; ?>');">

        <div class="banner-box"><h1><?php $meta_value = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'meta-text', true ); echo $meta_value; ?></h1></div>

      </div>

 

 

Anyone?

What does "not work" mean?

Have you done a viewsource on the page after it loads to see what/if anything is being populated in the url tag in the div style?  To see if it's empty or the path is wrong.

Hi,

 

I have checked the source code and I can see the below. The URL seems empty as does the banner-box div which should pull in the data from the metabox.

<div class="jumbotron" style="background-image: url('');">
        <div class="banner-box"><h1></h1></div>
      </div>

Have you checked to see of $post->ID contains a value? How about get_the_ID(); does it return a value? Note that get_the_ID() needs to be called within The Loop. More information can be found here:
