 * Hi,
 * I love this plugin first of all, It’s been a long time since I’ve last used it(
   I used it when it was just a git repo). I’ve decided to give the plugin a try
   but I can’t seem to get $post->ID.
 * My Code is:
 *     ```
       <div class="news-grid-item grid">
         <figure class="grid-content effect-layla">
           <div class="img" style="background-image:url(<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) );?>)" alt="thumbnail"></div>
           <figcaption>
             <h2>$post->ID<?php echo wp_trim_words(get_the_title($post->ID), 6); ?></h2>
             <p>Full Article</p>
             <a href="#" data-id="<?php echo $post->ID;?>" data-type="news" class="ajax-get-post" onclick="loadPost(<?php echo $post->ID ?>,'news')"></a>
           </figcaption>
         </figure>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * this line here get’s the attachment url but if I just try to echo the id I can’t
   get it.
    `wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) );`
 * Any suggestions?
    Cheers, Brook.

 * Hi Wizardo,
    Oh nice! That was a couple years back now 🙂
 * All you need to do is define global $post; at the top of your repeater template.
 *     ```
       <div class="news-grid-item grid">
         <?php global $post; ?>
         <figure class="grid-content effect-layla">
           <div class="img" style="background-image:url(<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) );?>)" alt="thumbnail"></div>
           <figcaption>
             <h2>$post->ID<?php echo wp_trim_words(get_the_title($post->ID), 6); ?></h2>
             <p>Full Article</p>
             <a href="#" data-id="<?php echo $post->ID;?>" data-type="news" class="ajax-get-post" onclick="loadPost(<?php echo $post->ID ?>,'news')"></a>
           </figcaption>
         </figure>
       </div>
       ```
