Hi James, yes I solved this a couple days ago, just been too busy to post.
I ended up with this:
<?php
$temp_post = get_post($post_id);
$author_id = $temp_post->post_author;
$background_main = get_field(‘background_image’, ‘user_’ . $author_id);
?>
background-image:url(‘<?php echo $background_main; ?>’)
This is what I am using to identify the author inside my template. I chose to make a custom template because it will allow me to duplicate the page and set the author to specific person. Person will then be able to an account page I set up with custom user form, which includes two image fields (a logo and background), to customize their page.
<?php
$user_info = get_userdata( $post -> post_author );?>
These work:
<?php echo ” . $user_info->farm_name . “\n” ?>
<?php echo ” . $user_info->contact_number . “\n” ?>
<?php echo ” . $user_info->stream_name ?>
<?php echo ” . $user_info->app_name ?>
<?php echo ” . $user_info->background_color . “\n” ?>
<?php echo ” . $user_info->font_color . “\n” ?>;”>
I tried using the example, but that left me no fields rendering.
This is the closest I’ve gotten to a return of anything, in this case, the field id.
<?php echo ” . $user_info->background_image ?>
I do apologize for my lack of knowledge. Html has been much friendlier to me. I honestly paid someone a good sum to set this all up for me 2 years ago, but after a multitude of excuses, and finally ignoring me completely it’s obvious if I want something done, I’ll have to do it.
Thanks James, I’m trying to apply fields as custom page styles. Color and text fields come up fine, but background images are not rendering. Do I need to apply them as a function first?
