I’m trying to display all my authors/users in a custom page template. I’m using the following code to display their profile photos that grab from an acf image field called author_header. I put the users in an unordered lists by the following.
<div class="author">
<ul>
<li>
<?php
$publisher_photo = get_the_author_meta('author_header');
$image_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src($publisher_photo);
echo '<img src="'. $image_src[0] .'" />';
?>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
The problem I’m facing is that all the users get my profile photo. I want to be able to just grab the ones that they uploaded to the author_header field. I do have all of their names correctly displaying in the unordered list by the following.
<h2 class="authorName">[ <?php echo $user->display_name; ?> ]</h2>. Thank you!
You should be using get_field() and you need to supply the post_id to get the value from.
For users the correct $post_id value is `”user_{$user_id}”
see the “Get a value from other places” section on this page https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_field/

Thanks for the info! I think I may still be doing something wrong, but here is what I have so far
<?php
$field_name = "author_header";
$post_id = "user_{$user_id}";
$publisher_photo = get_field($field_name, $post_id);
$image_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src($publisher_photo);
echo '<img class="grayscale" src="'. $image_src[0] .'" />';
?>
Any advise? thanks!
Here is the working solution
<?php
$user_id = $user->ID;
$publisher_photo = get_the_author_meta('author_header', $user_id);
$image_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src($publisher_photo);
echo '<img src="'. $image_src[0] .'" />';
?>
You’re using get_the_author_meta
If you used get field it would need to be
<?php
$user_id = 'user_'.$user->ID;
$publisher_photo = get_field('author_header', $user_id);
$image_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src($publisher_photo);
echo '<img src="'. $image_src[0] .'" />';
?>
