So if you make a ACF field with Field Type URL.

How do you use it as a image now?

Of course you can put some img src code in there and reference it but it is not usable as a image field in the frontend like the featured image or the ACF image field.

No thats what I thought too, but sadly Request Method only meens how the image is displayed in the source code on the frontend and there are different options for every request method how to insert it into the template.

I also checked via WordPress RestAPI and it is only giving the internal image ID and there is no option on frontend and also not via RestAPI to insert a external image url into that ACF image field with request method “URL.

OK thats how:

1. go to ACF Plugin settings under Field Groups
2. Add new field group and give it a name
3. In that new field group add under “location” Show this field group if… then set for example: post-type – is equal to – page (this way this field group is shown in every wordpress page
4. on the upper right click add field and then add a image field.
5. now go to wordpress pages and you see that custom fields in the page editor.
6. to add the field to the frontend either you use elementor pro with dynamic attributes or you make a coded wordpress page template and reference that custom field inside it

Here a doc for that with custom theme:
https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/displaying-custom-field-values-in-your-theme/

Here a doc for that with elementor pro:
https://elementor.com/help/elementor-acf/

would be really nice to have that functionality with FIFU

So here again the basics:

1. In WordPress it is possible to create custom fields via code or plugins like ACF
2. These custom fields can be specific types like text, image, bolean, number
3. If wanted the custom fields are displayed inside the post editor either wordpress gutenberg or plugins like elementor etc
4. when you want to use a image custom field and display it via a created template you you can select the image from the editor and program the template so the image is displayed on the designated location.
5. Worpress image fields only allow a image, which is selected from the wordpress media library
6. FIFU Plugin adds a custom field and manipulates the featured image field in that way that the url entered in the custom field for image URL is displayed as featured image.
7. If creating any other custom field which has the type image, FIFU is not applicable to that field.

So how can FIFU can be applied to another image field, which is NOT the featured image but a custom field with the type image?

Hope thats clear now…

where I display that image depends on the template but a image custom field usually only stores a image from wordpress media and has no url link functionality, but thats what I want to have with the plugin. Is it possible?

I mean if I create a image field with ACF custom fields apart from the featured image.
That field I want to use with a external Image URL.

Dear PressTiger Team,

thank you for the reply. That is what we already did, but there is still a indexed page named like the entered slug.
We want to only show the jobs on a selected page we create under WordPress Pages section.
It is not possible to delete the slug under Job Board > Settings > General so is there any other way to only show the jobs publicly on selected pages with the shortcode.

Regards

I have added the complete german Translation yesterday. Someone must approve that. It is already working fine with manually downloading the .po file and uploading it in the plugins language folder.
