Tell us what you are trying to do?
I want to get the URL of a featured image of one of my custom post (Step or POI). Only the URL and only from posts with featured image

Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/retrieve-only-posts-with-a-featured-image/

and

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/cruft-output-by-views/

But it returns empty String with line breaks.

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Could you please tell me where exactly you want to display feature image url and post url - on content template?

Hello,

On my layout i have a simple css style block (#masthead) that specify the background of the header section. I need to retrieve randomly a featured-image url of specific custom-posts types (steps and POIs).

With the actual code i can retrieve the url (without the standard html of a view) but sometimes it retrieved the url feature-image of post with no featured-image, so the url is empty and the header blank.

I check today and i can't reproduce the problem. Certainly a cache problem. Sorry

Regards
