ACF File Looper Title Display

[staceymarler]

I’ve tried several paths and using the past forum topics I’ve not had any luck making this work:

I have a custom post type “Supplier Scoutings” and need to upload multiple files (repeater field) to these post types. The challenge is to display the title of the file uploaded as the “headline” name on the screen so the webpage user knows what the filename is before they download or click on it. I went adhead and named them “File” and add the looper index number to show the files are different. Below is a screenshot of the downlaod area on the single page layout:

From the YouTube comments and Themeco forum research it says to add {{dc:looper:field key=“title”}} but I have no luck and it makes the headline or text not visible.

One last one: I watched the latest youtube video showing “The Better Way to Display PDFs in Wordpress” and noticed when Josh selected the ACF -> Post Field -> Field, he gets a selection window. Mine only shows “Enter Field Key” in this area instead of the “select” and then option window to pick the field (images below showing the difference). Any insight on correcting this would be great!

Hello @staceymarler,

Thanks for writing in!

Using the {{dc:looper:field key=“title”}} will not display the title. You will still need to nest another Looper Provider Dynamic Content file_uploads and make sure that the Files will return an Array. With your current set up, it is only returning the file URL not the title.

Hope this helps.
