    Hi I have ACF installed and am using it to add fields to the bottom of my portfolio edit page.
    I am adding ACF shortcodes to elements within the ALB.

    Most are working well but I have uploaded a hero image for each via an ACF upload image field. This field (at the moment) returns an Image URL (for example “https://owe.brother.design/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/3_OxfordStationComp_1120x800.jpeg”

    I was hoping to then use the said URL in either a text block eg: <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-391" src="[acf field="field_6349785a674e0"]" alt="" width="1120" height="800" /> which doesn’t work or somehow within the Media/Image element in ALB.

    Do you have any advice on how I can do this? Thanks in advance.

    Hey domchocolate,

    We haven’t really tested the theme with ACF unfortunately. Does the same code work if you use the default WordPress editor, or switch to a default WordPress theme? Shortcodes will likely not work within actual Layout Builder elements.

    Hi Rikard

    I’m glad to say that the shortcodes work in most of the elements I’ve used so far. Eg. here in hotspots https://owe.brother.design/projects-2/ password below – all the hotspot copy is generated through ACF fields added to portfolio item posts. I guess it’s where I use the shortcode in an element that has a WYSIWYG or text field to edit them.

    With the ACF image field, however, it works in that it will call the image URL if I place the shortcode on its own in a text field (see https://owe.brother.design/project-item/oxford-station-eastern-side/). The problem comes when I want to call that image using HTML <img src="[insert acf shortcode]'....</img> – the shortcode is either not recognised or is truncated automatically by the Builder.

    If the image element in ALB had a field to add a shortcode that may work. Or other elements (eg section, columns) had a field to add a shortcode to insert a background image which could be another possibility.

    Any thoughts on that?

    Hi,

    This code is working in a Text Block element when I try it:

    <img src="[acf field='field_634abece8f014']" />

    Second image is using that code: https://wpexpert.se/enfold/acf-image-test/

    Is the Image field returning an ID, URL or array?

    Hi,

    It’s returning the image URL.
