Thanks your work! :slight_smile:

odd… on my page it just takes some random post’s image instead. For you it seems to be empty.

A workaround I found is to not set a blog page in Settings/Reading

not sure if it does something to SEO though…

Not it is the problem. (It is another. :-D)
You can read more from it here: Known issues – Bricks Academy

I see… but I don’t have the blog page as a template but as a page. :slight_smile: which means I don’t have conditions…

Hi,
We’ve fixed this bug in Bricks 1.5.2, now available as a one-click update within your WordPress Dashboard.

Please let us know if you are still experiencing issues.

Hello everyone,

I’m not sure if my case is exactly the same as mentioned earlier in this thread, but I’m experiencing a similar issue on Bricks version 1.12.1.

When I try to set a background image on a <div> using dynamic data ({featured_image}), the image does not display. However, if I use the same dynamic data in an image element (<img>), the image loads correctly.

I have deactivated the Advanced themer plugin and motion page in case it could be generating some conflict and I have also purged the cache several times but it has not been solved.

Hi Carlos,
I cannot replicate the issue. Since this report refers to a version from a long time ago,
please create a new report with reproducible steps.
