Images not loading to field as images

  • I am currently running the latest version of WP on localhost/MAMP. I am using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin and the Custom Post Type UI plugin.

    I set up a field called Images for a custom post. When the Field Type on the custom fields edit page is set to “images”, the images do not load to the page. Instead, a string of information prints out that looks like database info. For example:

    69, , IMG_5405, , , image/jpeg, https://localhost/sitename.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/IMG_5400.jpg, 1500, 1000, Array

    When I set the Field Type to “WYSIWYG”, then the images load without any problem. I have debugged my code and the other plugin, but I think the issue may be related to the custom fields.

    This is one of my two favorite plugins, btw. I include it in every project, right along with Custom Post Type UI. This post is not meant as a complaint at all. I am a huge fan, and I hope that if it is the plugin I am having issues with, then we can find a way to resolve it.

    Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Much respect.

  • With ACF, you have the ability to return the value of an image field in different ways. If you look at the setting of that image field in your field group, you’ll see a “Return Value” option. It looks like based on what you have spitting out that you have it set to return the image field as an image object. If you change that to return the image as a URL, it will spit out the image URL.

    You can actually do a ton of things with the image object, though, like grab the alt tag, different media sizes, etc. You just have to call to it differently. I helped put together an ACF tutorial course that just launched on Udemy last night. We’re doing a 50%+ discount right now, may be helpful! We have an entire video about the image field and working with the different return values. It’s here.

    Good luck!
