Image in search box not showing

[mmousfiParticipant]

I am having the same issues that many seems to have had but I cannot find the answer in various support messages. The image I want to show in the search box is stored in a custom field (I am using Advanced Custom Fields PRO plugin). The image only appears if it is part of a post or in a “featured image” field but not when I specify it from the custom field. So how can I get it to pick the image from the custom field called “image”.

Thanks

Hi!

Are you sure, that the custom filed content is right? Form what I can see on your site the image urls are simple numbers, like “58” and “57”.
It seems like the custom field value is a number instead of an image url, that’s why it isn’t working.

Hi, yes the returned image value is specified as a URL in the custom field.

Thanks

Hi

I also checked the URL in the custom field “image” for the post title Alice Mattalia and it shows http://randvital.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Alice-Mattallia.jpg

I just chekced on your backend, and the custom field does not contain the url, but a number. Here you can see it: https://i.imgur.com/PyfSLgm.png

And that’s what is visible on the frontend as well. Normally I can’t offer 3rd party plugin support, but in this case I can probably help you to get around this.

It looks like that the number is actually the ID of the image, that has been uploaded. There is a filtering function available for the image manipulation for ajax search pro. Try to copy this code into your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( "asp_result_image_after_prostproc", "asp_cf_image", 1, 1 );
 
function asp_cf_image( $image ) {
  if ($image != "" && strlen($image) < 10) {
    $atts = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $image );
    if (isset($atts[0]))
      return $atts[0];
    return null;
  }
  return $image;
}

I’m not sure if it will help, but it’s worth a try.
