Conditional to use 'full' image size with animated GIFs

Hi there,

I am using ACF and pulling images into my category archives via ‘wp_get_attachment_image_src’ like this:

<?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_field('image'), ‘grid’); ?>
<img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" alt="" />

My client will be upoloading animated gifs to this field and I need WordPress to use the ‘grid’ image size if the image is a jpeg, but use ‘full’ if it is a gif, so that we retain the animation.

How should I go about this? Thanks in advance!

Hi @lechatlisse

You will need to add in a conditional statement with another image load like so:

<?php 

$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_field('image'), 'grid');
$image = $image[0];
$ext = pathinfo($image, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

if( $ext == 'gif' )
{
	$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_field('image'), 'full');
	$image = $image[0];
}

?>
<img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" alt="" />

Hope that helps.

Thanks
E
