Need to display newest image attachment as featured image WordPress
- SOLVED
I would like the latest image uploaded and attached to a post to be the NEW thumbnail for the post. Currently it defaults to the first attachment ever used for the post. Here is what I have for code.
function cc_thumbnail() {
global $post;
if (get_option('cc_default_thumbs') == 'yes') {
$defthumb = get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/images/def-thumb.jpg';
} else {
$defthumb = false;
}
$cc_img = get_the_image(array(
'meta_key' => 'thumbnail',
'size' => 'thumbnail',
'default_image' => $defthumb,
'format' => 'array',
'image_scan' => true,
'link_to_post' => false
));
if ( $cc_img['url'] && get_option('cc_show_thumbs') == 'yes' && get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'remove_thumb', true ) != 'Yes' ) { ?>
<img class="thumbnail" src="<?php echo $cc_img['url']; ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
<?php }
}
and I'm using the following to display the thumbnail.
<?php cc_thumbnail(); ?>
Is it possible to modify this to tell the above code that the LAST attachment will be the NEW thumbnail instead of the first attachment to the post? Or what can I do to achieve that?
Thanks

<?php
}
}

It did what I needed but all of my other posts that had the default thumbnail (if not featured or attached image) doesn't display an image now... ideas?
