Hi Toolset,

I have a user's custom image field called "Company Logo".
I am allowing users to post on my website and for each of their posts I would want their "Company Logo" to be the post's featured image.

I am not sure what custom code I need to be able to have the User's Company Logos be the Featured Image on all the posts they are authors of.

Please help if you can.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

You should use the save_post action hook to automatically assign the custom user image field as post thumbnail. Please check how you can use save_post with the following doc:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/updating-types-fields-using-php/

Please check the following link that may help you:

If you are not sure yet, please share for what post types you want to assign the user custom field image as featured image and share admin access details.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Hi Minesh,

I found an article that allows me to have a custom Image field for the user show up on each of the user's posts that they author. Although it is not the feature image, it is rather through a short code.

If I go to edit the post content on the top there is a selection for "Fields and Views" I select it and select the custom image field for the user (Company Logo). Then I set it to show the "Author of the post". This seems to work perfectly and will let you know if I need custom coding.

The short code is [types usermeta='user-company-logo' title='%%TITLE%%' alt='%%ALT%%' size='full' user_is_author='true'][/types]

The custom field is "User Company Logo"

I forgot what article I read that showed this unfortunately for anyone that also needs help with this.

Thank you as always for your help!
