Bricks: User ACF Image Field Not Displaying in `{acf_Autorenbild}` Expression

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to display a custom ACF image field from the author (user) of a post in Bricks Builder, but it’s not working as expected.

Setup:

  • ACF Field Group: attached to User Role = All
  • Field Type: Image
  • Field Name: Autorenbild
  • Return Format: Image URL (tried different options but none worked)
  • Field is filled with a valid image for the post author.

In Bricks:

  • I’m working on the template for the single post

  • I want to show the author’s image next to the author name.

  • I’ve added an Image element and set the dynamic src field to:
    {acf_Autorenbild} (was available under the advanced custom fields section)

  • Result in frontend code:

nothing ; ) Screenshots of settings attached.

Question:

Is this a bug? Or is there a known limitation with using ACF user image fields inside Bricks image elements?
Any workaround to display a user profile image (without using Gravatar) ?

Thanks in advance!

aaaa! got a suggestion while posting:

works!
For anyone else who is looking for this. The Field in ACF needs to be an Image Array to make this work
