Using Shortcode on Custom Image In Loop

    I am trying desperately to create a loop of custom posts with an image field. The closest I’ve got is to get the image ID to display.

    I have tried every variation from ‘[content field headshot]’ to ‘[field headshot:to_image_src]’ and many, many other variations.

    From what I’ve read, it appears that displaying an image is perhaps something a shortcode cannot do, or cannot do in a loop with a custom field.

    Either way, I’m kind of at the end of my tether. Any advice on how to get this to work?

    Hello,

    It should be possible to display an image field stored as attachment ID, like this:

    [content image="image_field_name" size="thumbnail"]

    There is a short description of the image parameter under the Content tab in the documentation (Settings -> Custom Content).

    Please let me know if that works for you.

    That worked! Thank you so much. I’m fairly new to WordPress, as I mostly have worked in drupal, so understanding the syntax has proven to be a bit of a challenge. Thanks for the quick and accurate response!

    Sure, no problem, I’m glad it worked. I’ll try to improve the documentation to make it more clear, maybe more examples.
