File_Field Array returns File ID, Not URL

    I am using the template for file uploads you have listed in the documentation and so far the only thing I can get the array to return is the ID number for the PDF file and the output is not a link, just the ID number. I’m using ACF Pro and the “download” and “link” field names are conditional where I have the user choose either a website link or a file download.

    [loop type="curriculum" taxonomy="grade_level" value="kindergarten" compare="and" taxonomy_2="curriculum_category" value_2="math-2" list="true"]
[if field="link"]<a href="[field link]" target="_blank"><i class="fa [field icon]"></i> [field title]</a>
[else]
[array download]
    [field title]
    [field description]
    <a href="[field url]" download>Download Link</a>
[/array]
[/if]
[/loop]

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks – Jerrad

    Hello,

    The first thing I thought of is, perhaps the file field is not set to store as an array? Just to clarify, are all file fields (title, description, url) returning ID?

    I’ll see if I can reproduce the issue on my end. If not, perhaps I will add a “debug” parameter that shows the whole array, so I can see how the data is structured on your end.

    Here’s the page that contains my loop and below is the entire code I’m using. https://evscicats.com/evsc-curriculum/kindergarten/. I have two custom posts created for Kindergarten. The first is an ELA and it’s a website link. The second is for math and it’s a file download. I have the return value on the File field type set to File Array.

    [loop type="curriculum" taxonomy="grade_level" value="kindergarten" compare="and" taxonomy_2="curriculum_category" value_2="english-language-arts-2" list="true"]
  [if field="link"]<a href="[field link]" target="_blank"><i class="fa [field icon]"></i> [field title]</a>
  [else]
  [array download]
    [field title]
    [field description]
    <a href="[field url]" download>Download Link</a>
[/array]
[/if]
[/loop]
[/span4]

    Please see the latest update – the array shortcode should now get the full array correctly.
