I understand the img tag can output the img srcset but for certain reasons i have to use the url img (option 3 of screenshot)

How to trigger WP srcset when im using the url option? eg. {!{types field='project-images' size='medium' url='true'}!}{!{/types}!}

Hi Melvin

I'm not sure your question makes sense.

The srcset attribute only exists in the context of the HTML img element. It's a way of declaring to the browser the relevant available image dimensions when displaying the image with an img tag.

If you are outputting the URL of an image, WordPress generates several files for different sizes of the same image, and you can output the URL of any one of those sizes.

If you were manually constructing your own img tag rather than using the one generated by the Types shortcode and you wanted to include a srcset attribute, you would have to manually construct it by using the Types shortcode multiple times to generate each of the URLs.

If you use the types shortcode to output the image tag it will generate something like this (from my local test site):

<img width="300" height="142" src="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" class="attachment-medium" alt="" title="cats2.jpg" style="" srcset="<em><u>hidden link</u></em> 300w, <em><u>hidden link</u></em> 768w, <em><u>hidden link</u></em> 1024w, <em><u>hidden link</u></em> 1400w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px">

So you would be looking to reproduce something similar, generating the URL parts of the above using multiple insertions of the types shortcode with the url='true' parameter, which would go something like...

<img width="300" height="142" src="[types field='slide' size='medium' url='true'][/types]" class="attachment-medium" alt="" title="cats2.jpg" style="" srcset="[types field='slide' size='thumbnail' url='true'][/types] 300w, [types field='slide' size='medium' url='true'][/types] 768w, [types field='slide' size='large' url='true'][/types] 1024w, [types field='slide' size='full' url='true'][/types] 1400w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px">
