  • Hi @skd

    Could you please make sure that the get_field() function returned the right data? You can check it like this:

    echo <pre>;
    print_r(get_field('background_image'));
    echo </pre>;

    If that is not returning anything, then it’s possible that your code is located outside of The Loop. To fix it, you need to pass the post/page ID as the second parameter to the get_field() function like this:

    get_field('custom_field_name', 99)

    Where “99” is the post/page ID where the custom field is assigned. This page should give you more idea about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_field/.

    I hope this helps 🙂
