    Excellent plugin although since the last update I have not been able to get the file url everytime that I upload a document (tried pdf and word doc) it only returns the attachment id rather than the file url. I have tried this on a couple of different sites to make sure it is not theme related.
    Any ideas of how to get the file url, and yes I have ticked file url when setting up the custom field.
    Just checked the image upload and that is outputting the id as well.

    Thanks in advance

    Did you figure this out? I’m having the same problem.

    Not for what I was trying to use it for, if you call through the_field(”) it will automatically convert it to the file url.
    I need to call it from get_post_meta which only returns the attachment id – long story why I can only call it by this but resulted in creating my own upload box for the file so I could get it to work.
