How Do You Set Background Lower Layer image With ACF Pro

[gemlangley]

How do I use ACF Pro to set the image of the background lower layer in a section?

I have set up my field and field group (please see screenshots)
I am then using the post field to select my field.
and using the field group key to put into the field key and pressing the + to add.

But its not working. Am I missing a step?

Hi @gemlangley,

Thanks for reaching out.
You need to select the Image URL instead of Image Array to get the URL to set into the background image.

Hope it helps.
Thanks

Thank you for your reply.
I changed the return value with no success. I then deleted the whole field group so I could start a fresh but it still didn’t work.

Should the input area for the image have changed to insert a URL rather than selecting an image from the library?

Actually Ive just figured it out. Thank you.
I realised I had to use ‘Insert from URL’ in the media and insert the ACF shortcode here.

Thanks again

Hi @gemlangley,

Glad that you are able to short it out.

Thanks
