    Hi,

    I have created a custom field for posts called ‘external_url’.
    Is there a way to wrap url in this field around the featured image, so clicking the featured image will take the user to the external site rather than showing a larger version of the featured image?

    kindest regards,

    Hey PPCHound!

    Yes – open up /wp-content/themes/enfold/includes/loop-index.php and replace

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

    with

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

        $external_link = get_post_meta($the_id, 'external_url');
        if($external_link) $link = $external_link;

    Cheers!
    Peter

    Hi Peter,

    Many thanks for your reply.

    I tried your code change, and the expected url contained within the custom field was not applied. Instead received

    <a href="Array"><img /></a>

    Seems to see the external_url as an array. Hmm … Any thoughts appreciated.

    kindest regards,

    Using the code Peter provided, i just modified this line:
    if($external_link) $link = $external_link;

    To this:
    if($external_link) $link = $external_link[0];

    So it will get the first item of the Array.

    Best regards,
    Josue
