    Hi,

    Im migrating a rather big blog (~800 Posts) to Enfold. So far I’m making good progress, but now I’m stuck at some point:
    The old blog did not use featured images but rather had a custom field with the url of the image (don’t ask why).

    So what I’m trying to do is to change loop-index.php in a way that it checks for this custom field and uses the image found there, or if it’s empty use a featured image.

    Any hints on how to accomplish this?

    Thank you,

    Hi kaMai!

    You replace these lines with the get_post_meta for custom fields:

    //on single page replace the link with a fullscreen image
        if(is_singular())
        {
            $link = avia_image_by_id(get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'large', 'url');
        }

        //echo preview image
        if(strpos($blog_style, 'big') !== false)
        {
            if($slider) $slider = '<a href="'.$link.'">'.$slider.'</a>';
            if($slider) echo '<div class="big-preview '.$blog_style.'">'.$slider.'</div>';
        }

    Cheers!
