ACF Image field not showing when in related tag

Just tried this [content image=”mpg_profile_image”] and it shows the images but then the other fields don’t show

[related field="mpg_facilitators"]
<h3>[field="title"]</h3>
[content image="mpg_profile_image"]
<p>[field="mpg_about_person"]</p>
[/related]

Hello,

In the latest update, I added a way to display an image field like this:

[field image="image_field"]

In ACF, if you have the image field option to store objects instead of ID (default), you can specify in=”object”.

For normal fields, please note the syntax: [field field_name]

[related field="mpg_facilitators"]
    <h3>[field title]</h3>
    [field image="mpg_profile_image"]
    <p>[field mpg_about_person]</p>
[/related]

Hi, still can’t get it to work. In ACF I select the image to be returned as “Image Array” though I have tried the other two options of url and ID as well. How do I use the in=”object”? I tried [[field image=”mpg_profile_image” in=”object”] but no luck.

Hmm.. I looked in ACF’s image field options, and only see: image object, URL, or ID.

By default, ID is assumed:

[field image="image_field"]

If it’s set to object:

[field image="image_field" in="object"]

Since it’s working on my end, I wonder if something else is the issue..?

Hi, I’ll keep looking in to it and let you know how I get on. Its not vital to the project as I can use the featured image field instead.

Just to clarify though, I am using ACF 5 and the image return options in the backend image field form are “Image Array”, “Image URL” and “Image ID”. I assumed that the “Image Array” option is equivalent to “image object”.

Hi, just updated to 1.1.8 and all is working. So thanks for that ??

Great, thanks for letting me know!

I’m actually having the same issue and I have v 1.1.9 installed along side ACF v5.0.7 and WordPress v4.0.

I think I’m confused myself when addressing images from ACF, too.

For clarity, this works:
[field image="cover_image"] and [content image="cover_image"]

If I have Image Array picked in ACF, then this DOES NOT work:

[field image="cover_image" in="object"]

HOWEVER, if I have Image Array picked in ACF, then this works:

[field image="cover_image" in="id"]

When choosing Image Array in ACF, this only outputs the Image ID number:

[content field="cover_image" in="object"]

However, the two methods that do work output the same markup.
Example:

<img width="460" height="380" src="https://mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/cover.jpg" class="attachment-full" alt="My Great Cover">

Is it possible just to pull the image url from the ACF image field because I want to customize the output further?

Hello, thank you for telling me about this.

You’re right, in ACF 5, it looks like image object/array behaves differently.

[field image="image_field"]

This displays the image, whether the field is set as image array, URL, or ID. So perhaps in=”object” is not needed now – I’ll have to check this further. As far as I could see, it’s stored as ID (default) regardless of what is selected.

You can also display a different size:

[field image="image_field" size="thumbnail"]

To output the URL:

[field image="image_field" return="url"]
