NO BUG: Can't show ACF image in slider with query loop over a custom post type

Browser: Chrome 110
OS: macOS

I have a custom post type “UseCase” with an ACF field “image”.
I would like to show the posts in a slider using a query loop, showing 3 slides at a time. Each slide should show the image and the post excerpt.

What works, but doesn’t fit my need, since it is not a slider: using a query loop on a container that contains an image with dynamic data {acf_image} and a basic text with dynamic data {post_excerpt}.

What also works, but doesn’t fit my need, since it only displays a single slide not 3 at a time: using a Nestable slider with a single slide element inside a container with a query loop.

What does NOT work: using the same query on a basic slider, setting the content to {acf_image} {post_excerpt}. What happens is that {acf_image} displays the image caption, not the image.

Hi Christer,
Thanks so much for your report!

I’m not quite sure what the actual issue is, since you can change the “Items to show” to 3 using the nestable slider, which is the best approach in this case, as it gives you much more flexibility over the regular slider.

Thanks timmse. I hadn’t noticed that you could set number of items also for the nested slider. So I will be using that instead.
