_load_image_to_edit_path( int $attachment_id, string|int[] $size = 'full' )

This function’s access is marked private. This means it is not intended for use by plugin or theme developers, only in other core functions. It is listed here for completeness.

Retrieve the path or URL of an attachment’s attached file.

Description

If the attached file is not present on the local filesystem (usually due to replication plugins), then the URL of the file is returned if allow_url_fopen is supported.

Parameters

$attachment_id

(int) (Required) Attachment ID.

$size

(string|int[]) (Optional) Image size. Accepts any registered image size name, or an array of width and height values in pixels (in that order).

Default value: 'full'

Return

(string|false) File path or URL on success, false on failure.
