Hi,
I have a custom filed of an image in a post type.

On cred_save_data I am moving this image to a custom folder (for example to newpath)
after that, the media library shows an empty image instead of the real image.

I found that I have to update the location of the image through the
update_attached_file( $attachment_id, "nepath" );

my question I how I get the &attachment_id of this custom image toolset field ;

thank you

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

If your goal is to get the attachment ID using the attachment URL ( that is saved in the image type custom field ), you can use the "attachment_url_to_postid" function from WordPress:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/attachment_url_to_postid/

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
