Linking to Images with PHP

  • Hello, all,

    I’m having trouble linking to images in my media library with PHP. On my homepage there is a slider (Flexslider) that should show three different images next to text. Here’s my HTML and PHP:

    <div class="grid-8 center flexslider white-bg boxhgt-med">
    	<ul class="slides">
	   <?php
                $args = array(
                    'post_type' => 'featured',
		    'orderby'=> 'rand',);
                $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
                $slideshow_query = new WP_Query( $args );?>

            <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( $slideshow_query->have_posts() ) : $slideshow_query->the_post(); ?>

            	<li>
                    <div class="grid-4">
                        <?php echo the_content(); ?>

                        <h6 class="button"><a href="<?php echo the_field( 'featured_url' ); ?>">Learn More</a></h6>
                    </div>

                    <div class="grid-4 omega">
                        <img src="<?php the_field( 'event_image' ); ?>">
                    </div>

                </li>
			<?php endwhile; else: ?>
                           <p><?php _e('Sorry, no pages here.'); ?></p>
                        <?php endif; ?>
		</ul>
    </div>

    All the PHP works except the images. Here’s a link to one of the images that’s supposed to show up.

  • I’m not entirely familiar with how ACF works, but you may want to use print_r() or var_dump() to check the output of the_field() because I get these errors when I visit your site:

    How do I use those to check output? I’m not familiar with those commands.

    In the meantime I used the direct URL to get the page at least looking right.

    Thank you for your help!

    Post the output of var_dump( get_field( 'featured_url' ) ); and var_dump( get_field( 'event_image' ) ). I suspect get_field() is returning more data than you expect.
