Your syntax looks OK:

<a href="<?php print $mylink['url']; ?>">Supported by</a>

to add the title:

<a href="<?php print $mylink['url']; ?>">Supported by <?php print $mylink['title']; ?></a>

But PHP is not being parsed on that page (since I was able to copy-paste that out of the page source). This needs to be inserted at the level of a theme template file.

You’d need something like:

<a href="<?php print $link['url']; ?>" target="<?php print $link['target']; ?>">Register</a>

Yep, that’s it. The plugin doesn’t generate a URL but instead returns an array with keys for the url, title, etc. For your use you’ll need something like:

<?php
  $link = get_field('register_link');
?>
<a href="<?php print $link['url']; ?>">Register</a>

hope this helps.

Hi Sherri,

Can you attach the snippet of code used to generate the markup?

Resolving this from lack of feedback.

Please provide:

– WP version
– ACF version
– ACF Link Picker version
– OS/browser and browser version

It will be very helpful to also have:

– any javascript console errors
– HTML markup for the screenshot above, copied out of browser dev tools

A contributor found an ACF function to force WP wysiwyg initialization if it hasn’t happened yet. Please take a look at v1.2.7 and see if this takes care of the issue above. I’ll mark this resolved for now — let me know if not.

This update has changed the DOM class of the element in markup and javascript. It sounds like the old javascript is cached for you, so make sure to clear any edge caching and do a hard browser refresh (see https://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Help:Hard_Refresh).

To verify the correct JS has loaded in the browser, you can view /wp-content/plugins/acf-link-picker-field/js/input.js and make sure line 50 is monitoring “.acf-lp-link-btn” (version 1.2.3), not “.link-btn” (1.2.2). The link on your page should have this class as well.

I’m generally assuming that the admin side will be pretty functional (and it’s hard to do much with long URLs in table format), but I’m happy to take pull requests for translations or configuration settings at https://github.com/ahebrank/ACF-Link-Picker-Field

I’ll try again to replicate. If you could provide a WP instance that demonstrates this problem and send login credentials that would expedite things.

Marking this as resolved due to failure to replicate. The issue at https://github.com/ahebrank/ACF-Link-Picker-Field/issues/16 remains open if anyone has further insight.

Marking this as resolved for now.

I’m not sure if this answers your question, but see the usage instructions in https://github.com/ahebrank/ACF-Link-Picker-Field/blob/master/readme.txt

The field returns an array, so to construct a link in your theme you can use:

<?php $mylink = get_field('mylink'); ?>
<a href="<?php print $mylink['url']; ?>"><?php print $mylink['title']; ?></a>

What is the version number of the plugin?

@janbrenstein, see my notes at https://github.com/ahebrank/ACF-Link-Picker-Field/issues/16 — I’m unable to replicate and also unable to create a custom taxonomy that doesn’t have a wysiwyg since WP seems to includes the “Description” field. What am I missing?
