In the layout editor, I have an HTML field, and in that field, I have the following:
<img src="[venue]" />
That shortcode is based on a function in my functions.php file that looks like this:
function post_grid_venue() {
$venue = get_field('venue_photo');
return $venue['sizes']['venue-thumb'];
}
add_shortcode('venue', 'post_grid_venue');
Of course, the function above is referencing an ACF image object. This was working fine for about a year now, and all of a sudden, not only does it not work anymore, but it crashes my entire site. All I get is a white screen when this function is active. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Or is there a better way to call a specific image size into the layout editor?
Welcome to our forum.
Thanks for your trying, please try following code,
function post_grid_venue() {
$post_id = get_the_id();
$venue = get_field('venue_photo', $post_id);
//var_dump($venue);
//return '
'; // For Return Value: Image URL
// For Return Value: Image Object
// return $venue['sizes']['venue-thumb'];
if(!empty($venue['sizes']['venue-thumb'])){
return '
';
}else{
return '';
}
}
add_shortcode('venue', 'post_grid_venue');
Under the layout editor please use only following shortcode [venue]
I hope this will solve your issue.

I tried it, but it still didn't work. So I started removing pieces of the code, and I figured out that the following line is causing the hangup:
$venue = get_field('venue_photo');
The same applies to your line for setting the value for $venue. It's like the system doesn't recognize the image object. That being said, the image object is definitely there because I am using this same process to output a larger version of the image on the single page. I can't figure out why it's having trouble setting the variable through the function. And as I mentioned before, it has been working for over a year, and then suddenly it stopped.
I also tested this on another site that I am using the Post Grid plugin on, and it worked fine through the function. Do you think it is a theme issue?
I have tested the code with ACF plugin, Can you please send me a temporary admin access to your site?
Please make sure image filed is "venue-thumb" correct.
