WP Advanced Custom Fields Plugin

[tobeeornot]

I’ve just set some new customs fields for images on a specific page using this plugin. Unfortunately , I seem to be getting a strange php error message on the wp back end page (screenshot) , and I am not sure why.

I am using the following code on the relevant template to select the image but it isn’t working:

On the selected page, the broken-image box, where the image should be, is misplacing the location set by the class.

I have also tried the following code for calling the image on the template, which gets the location right but no image:

Does this function allow you to put an array in it? Better off sticking with manually putting the class name in there.

Maybe it’s not liking the space after the_field. Try this:

It also might not like the period in your custom field name.

Yep, that is what I also tried but the image is not appearing (but the placement is right) and the weird error message on the wp back-end page is still there.

Ok, I uninstalled the plugin and reinstalled it and that seems to have cured the php error message. The problem now is that the custom fields display ‘no image selected’ after I have uploaded them. They also do not appear on the relevant page. Any ideas?

For reference, I have set ‘Page Template’ as equal to ‘Home’ (the relevant page) on the custom fields rules.

[TheDoc]

Hmmmm… not sure I can help much there without having access to the backend.

That’s ok, Doc. I am making some progress. I can now upload the images to the WP back-end but I can’t get them to display in on the the web-page.

Maybe my loop is incorrect? It would great if someone could take a look:

" class="button">View More



























" class="button">View More


















while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>









" class="button">View More

I should add this is the code WP is outputting:

So, it seems the uploaded images on the back-end are not being acknowledged by the front end.

Just got this feedback from the plugin developer:

“You should have a look at this: http://plugins.elliotcondon.com/advanced-custom-fields/documentation/code-examples/#wpshdo_8

Basically, when dealing with a custom loop, you need to enter the post ID as a second parameter, so ACF knows which object to get your values from.”

Would appreciate it if anyone could help me alter the code accordingly.

[TheDoc]

You could do:

But I don’t think you should have to. I can look at the loops tomorrow!

[tobeeornot]

Thanks Doc but that didn’t work. Could it be that I need to register the plugin in functions.php? Be much appreciated if you could look at my loop.

[TheDoc]

No, the plugin shouldn’t have anything to do with functions.php.

Can you take a screen shot of your edit screen? I’d like to see what the ACF fields look like that you’ve set up!
