Field type: User (display format question)

Hi, firstly let me apologise, my knowledge with code is appalling. (frontend designer normally!)

I’m working with ACF pro, and need a little help. As there is no documentation to accompany field type: User. (and I’m a code numpty!)

On a custom post type ‘users’ are selected (in this case exhibiting artists) and I need to display the ‘display_name’ as a link to their profiles. (bbMemebrs)

post example: http://www.tandem5.co.uk/nba2/nba_venue/34-monmouth-road/

code in custom post template:

	<p> <span>Exhibiting artists&emsp;</span>
		<span class='answer'>	<?php // artists ( array )
$artists_array = get_field( 'artists' );
if ( $artists_array ):
	foreach ( $artists_array as $artists_item ):
	 	echo $artists_item['display_name'];
	endforeach;
endif; ?></span></p>

This does spit out the display name, but not in a format that i can style. Also I want the name to link to the user’s profiles.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated… learning on the job with a deadline is proving stressful!

Thanks

There is a filter for altering the label acf/fields/user/result it works the same way as this one acf/fields/relationship/result https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-fields-relationship-result/ and also has the /name= and /key= alternates.
