I have a section to feature single post, which the site owner can choose from an ACF Post Object Field I’ve set up. They can select a blog post or an event post (custom post type).

I’m trying to pull in the featured image, post title, and the post date into the featured section of my page, using dynamic data from my ACF field, the field name is called “acf_select_news_page_featured_post”.

Here is what I’ve tried using:

For the image: {acf_select_news_page_featured_post:featured_image:link}
For the heading: {acf_select_news_page_featured_post:post_title:link}
To display the date: {acf_select_news_page_featured_post:post_date}

It seems that when using dynamic data from an ACF post object field, the only thing that can be pulled is the post title / link.

@timmse - can you confirm whether that aspect is actually a bug?

When I create an ACF post object field and have a post selected, and then try to pull data in with a dynamic data tag, the only item I can seem to pull is the post name / link. For the featured image, I get an error that says “Image ID #### no longer exists. Please select a new image.”

I just tried with a brand new test post with a new featured image and still get that same error. And then when trying to pull in the post date, it just retrieves the post title again.

Thanks!

I have tried the following variations for pulling in the image with a dynamic data tag:

{acf_select_news_page_featured_post:featured_image}
{acf_select_news_page_featured_post:featured_image:link}

And have tried the following for the date:

{acf_select_news_page_featured_post:post_date}
{acf_select_news_page_featured_post:post_date:plain}
{acf_select_news_page_featured_post:post_date:m d}

Ok maybe I was just doing this wrong…

I set up a query loop on the container to target the ACF Post_object instead, and then just used the basic dynamic tags for the featured image, title:link and post_date and it populates just fine.

Feel free to close if I was just doing this wrong from the start.
