Using ACF custom field in a looper to display related portfolio item featured image

[dobacco]

We started using ACF Pro to manage our many custom meta fields and so far so good. As stated in the topic subject line itself…

Our website displays all the products we have released over time. Each item is a portfolio item. In each item, we added a meta field called “product_series” to identify products that belong in the same series.

In the individual portfolio template, I want to add a section at the bottom that displays portfolio items that belong in the same series. What I want to display is the related portfolio item’s featured image and title (which is stored in another meta field). I found a similar topic and the suggestion was to use a looper provider with Query String so I tried:

 post_type=portfolio&meta_key=product_series&meta_value={{dc:acf:post_field field="product_series"}}&meta_compare=%3D&order=DESC

But it didn’t seem to work. I’m guessing that I also need to add something to the source of the Featured Image but I’m a bit stuck on how to proceed.

Hello @dobacco,

Thanks for writing to us.

I would suggest you please update the query string by given query string.

 post_type=portfolio&posts_per_page=3&post_status=publish&ignore_sticky_posts=1&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Bkey%5D=product_series&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D={{dc:acf:post_field field="product_series"}}&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Bcompare%5D=%3D&order=DESC
