Hi there,

I am using Oxygen and am trying to display a single_image that uploaded to a post.

I created a function with the hope that it would output the image's URL, but it doesn't return anything.
```
function mb_cp_logo_shortcode() {
$image = rwmb_meta( 'info', array( 'size' => 'full' ) );
echo '<a href="', $image['full_url'], '"><img src="', $image['url'], '"></a>';
}
add_shortcode( 'mb-cp-logo', 'mb_cp_logo_shortcode' );
```
I based the function off of this page, https://docs.metabox.io/fields/single-image/, but I clearly didn't implement it correctly.

I did a search before posting. I found the below topic, but it didn't get me where I needed.

Thanks!

Hi Bret,

There are two points you need to notice:
- The output of the shortcode has to use return, not echo. Follow WordPress documentation https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API#Output. It should be:
```
function mb_cp_logo_shortcode() {
    $image = rwmb_meta( 'info', array( 'size' => 'full' ) );
    return '<a href="'. $image['full_url']. '"><img src="'. $image['url']. '"></a>';
}
add_shortcode( 'mb-cp-logo', 'mb_cp_logo_shortcode' );
```
- If you add the shortcode when editing the post with the Oxygen Builder, you don't need to pass the third-argument $post_id to the shortcode. But if you add the shortcode to the Grid Builder of Oxygen and insert the Grid when editing the post, you have to pass the post ID to the shortcode.
```
function mb_cp_logo_shortcode() {
    $image = rwmb_meta( 'info', array( 'size' => 'full' ), 123 );
    return '<a href="'. $image['full_url']. '"><img src="'. $image['url']. '"></a>';
}
add_shortcode( 'mb-cp-logo', 'mb_cp_logo_shortcode' );
```
See more in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/rwmb-meta/#arguments.
