A simple WordPress plugin that provides two shortcodes:

• [[custom_featured_image_url]] to display the current post’s featured image URL.
• [acf_version_link] to display a link from the ACF ‘version’ field (if set for the post).

Description

Custom Feature Image Token adds two shortcodes:

• [[custom_featured_image_url ]] returns the URL of the current post’s featured image. This is particularly useful when you need to dynamically reference the featured image URL in various contexts within your WordPress site.
• [[acf_version_link]] returns the value of the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) field named ‘version’ as a URL. If the field is not set, it returns a fallback ‘#’.

Installation

1. Download the plugin files
2. Upload the plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

Usage

Featured Image URL

Use the shortcode [] wherever you want to display the current post’s featured image URL.

Example

<img src="[custom_featured_image_url]" alt="Featured Image">

ACF Version Link

Use the shortcode [https://github.com/mrvanhoyte/Custom-Post-Type-Feature-Image-Token/releases] to output the value of the ACF field ‘version’ as a URL. This is useful for linking to a versioned resource or documentation if you use ACF to store such links.

Example

<a href="[acf_version_link]">View Version</a>
