Genesis Loop & Advanced Custom Fields Plugin

Maybe a more advanced question for this course: Using the Genesis functions, how can you create a loop to show just the images of a custom field['images'] for a new post_type['sponsor-images']?

The post type was made using the plugins Advanced Custom Fields & Custom Post Type UI.

The code below should work.

<?php
//* Define a custom function that queries the database for your posts
function display_sponsor_post_images(){

    //* Limit query to posts with "post type" set to "sponsor-images"
    $queryArgs = array(
        'post_type' => 'sponsor-images'
    );
    //* The query
    $the_query = new WP_Query( $queryArgs );

    //* The loop
    if( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
        while( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
            $the_query->the_post();

            //* Get custom field "images" from current post
            $image = get_field( 'images' );

            //* Display the image
            echo '<img src="'. $image[ "url" ] .'" alt="'. $image[ "alt" ] .'"/>';

        endwhile;
    endif;

    //* Restore original Post Data
    wp_reset_postdata();
}
//* Add your custom function to the site using WP's "add_action" function with a Genesis hook.
add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'display_sponsor_post_images' );
?>```
