How to get the WordPress post thumbnail (featured image) URL?

I am using this function to get the featured images:

<a href="#" rel="prettyPhoto">
    <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?>
</a>

Now I want to get the full featured image on click on the anchor tag for which I need a featured image URL in 

<a href="here" rel="prettyPhoto">

How can I fix this?

  • Check the code below and let me know if it works for you.

    <?php if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ): ?>
  <?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?>
  <div id="custom-bg" style="background-image: url('<?php echo $image[0]; ?>')">

  </div>
<?php endif; ?>
