Hi There,
I am creating a custom html archive layout in the Beaver Builder/Themer posts module but whenever I use a field connection to pull in a Metabox single image field I only get the word 'Array' on the front end instead of the custom image. I'm using the latest version of BB and MB.

Here's the html.
```
<div class="custom-image">
[wpbb post:meta_box field='image' image_size='medium']
</div>
```
Any help appreciated.

I have now tried the same exercise with the FREE Advanced Custom Fields plugin and it worked first time.

Here's the ACF code:
<img src="[wpbb post:acf type='image' name='image' image_size='large' display='url']">

I tried wrapping the Metabox code in an img tag like the ACF code but now just get a broken link icon.
<img src="[wpbb post:meta_box field='image' image_size='large']">

Hi Richard,

Please refer to this topic to get the image URL with the helper shortcode

Read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/shortcode/

Why doesn't this just work as it does in ACF, why does metabox insert the wrong shortcode in the html in the first place. Is this going to be fixed soon?

Hi,

The Beaver shortcode is not compatible with the Meta Box image fields. I'm going to inform the developer team to consider supporting it in future updates.

Thank you.

Is there an update on this? I need this as well. I also get the broken img icon.
```
<div> <img src="”[rwmb_meta" />
</div>
```
Thanks,
Marge
