show your code — please put it on wpbin.io — and be sure to note the name you gave the custom field.

Hi, Steve & others!
My page.php currently looks like this:

https://wpbin.io/k0qlt

My custom field is named ExternalURL (Advanced Custom Fields 4.4.12)

I’d really appreciate if anyone knew what to do :/

All the best!

I don’t see anywhere in there that you’re using the URL you set up with ACF. I would expect to see a call to get_field() or the_field(). Please check the documentation for ACF to find out how to use these functions.

You’d then wrap the post thumbnnail with it, something like

echo '';
the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' );
echo '';

Well yeah, that’s the case because I didn’t manage to make it work. Anyway, I’ll delegate this job to someone smarter because I’m running out of time. Thank you, Steve, for your help!
