Post template with different section background for each post that is not the featured image
I'm trying to make a Post template that would include a header background that is not the featured image. How is this possible on a per-post basis?
I have ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) installed and added a custom field that contains the background image. So I have a different image for the featured image and the header image.
However, when I add the custom field to the Post template (showing up as {postmeta:post-header-image} when editing the template background for the top section, the image doesn't appear. The background stays blank. If I select a specific image, it shows, however it will not depend on the Post.
If that's not how I should do it, what would be the correct way?
Thank you,
Gabriel

Hi,
Why do not you use the built-in feature "Header Image" for that?
To use this field in a template, use the
{postmeta:mfn-post-header-bg}dynamic data.Best regards
Hi Phil,
Thanks for your swift reply!
I thought about that field, but couldn't find what tag I should use. Of course, with your tag, it works...
Why doesn't it work with my custom one though? Should be the same...
Is there documentation about these postmeta:mfn- tags anywhere?
Thanks,
Gabriel
Section background has limitations to accept only featured image, suheader, and post header image dynamic data. That is why ACF does not work there.
The Dynamid Data pop-up should contain this field, but there seems to be some issue, and it does not, so I passed it to the dev team to correct that.
Best regards
Thank you so much, I'll keep that in mind!
