hi,

My image and alt was working fine before but I just noticed my images and alt is not showing and it’s showing “h”. I didn’t change anything. My backend is showing the image. I’m wondering why is not working. Please see screenshit. This is the code.

<?php
$cat = get_query_var('Category');
$args = array(
    'child_of' => $cat,
    'orderby' => 'date',
    'order' => 'ASC'
);

$categories = get_categories($args);

foreach($categories as $category) { 
    $image = get_field('cat_thumbnail_image', 'category_'. $category->term_id .'');

    echo '<article class="work-wrap">
    <a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" class="work-img">
        <img src="' . $image['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt'] . '">
        <h2>'. $category->name . '</h2>
    </a>
</article>';
}
?>

Please answer the question that I asked.
I am attempting to help you figure out why it’s not showing. Your code does not indicate a reason. Debugging is required.

This means that you image field is returning the URL of the image. This means that you are expecting it to return an image array $image['url']

Check your field settings to make sure that it is set to return an image array and not the image URL.

Thank you. I change it to return an image array and it works now.
