How to retrieve posts that have thumbnail set?

Question

Anyone can help me with this one?

I've set my posts to have thumbnails. Is there any way to retrieve only posts with thumbnails?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you set your posts to have thumbnails the standard way, then you can always check if a post has a thumbnail using the has_post_thumbnail function. I'm not sure there's any way to ask WP_Query for posts with thumbnails, but I'm sure you can do it with a direct SQL query to $wpdb.

Inside of your wordpress loop just add this wrapper.

if ( has_post_thumbnail() )
{
    // run code for post
}

So your full code would most likely look something like this.

if ( have_posts() )
{
    while ( have_posts() )
    {
        the_post();

        if ( has_post_thumbnail() )
        {
            // output html code for the post here
        }
    }
}
