    Read the options in the GD post Images widget.

    There are two fields to specify image fields, and both can take multiple values.

    In the archive item, select types=logo, fallback=something else
    In the details page, select types=post_images, fallback=0

    Both fields have defaults, so, you will need to add values to both to take control of them.

    Hey Alex,

    This is perfect for my existing setup. Thanks. I must’ve just missed the ‘select_types’ I had just been using post_images as the type. So this works great in the standard GD Archive Item page.

    BUT, in messing around with this I found the Elementor Pro GD Archive Item template. I went down that rabbit hole and totally trashed everything I was doing. I reverted back to the old way but would like to understand the Elementor Pro option.

    All I get is a display of multiple posts all with “post id is missing, invalid post type”.

    For now, I’ll change the default GD Item page with the shortcodes, but I’ll likely be back with more questions on the Elementor Archive Item option.

    Thanks.

    Related question.

    I used Elementor to build a page and dropped a GD > Listings element into that page. That element provides me with four tabs General, Filters, Sorting, Design. But none of these provide an option to do something like the shortcode where I have the displayed image = types=’logo,fallback=’post_images’

    So then the display of these listings on this page uses the first post_image when I’d prefer they use the logo.

    How would I create a setting whereby the logo was the primary image used here, with the fallback of post_images?

    Thanks.

    Right, GD Listings is for displaying listings, but, the design of the display is set in the GD Archive item. Change the properties of the GD Archive item -> GD Post images to show logos. Use the shortcode builder or widget options to choose which images are displayed or used as fallbacks.

    Finally figured it out.

    The shortcode in our GD Archive Item page had a typo. I had combined types=’logo’,fallback=’post_images’ all in one piece. I swear I had seen it that way somewhere, but in doing more searching through the forums on fallback=” I found references to the correct layout.

    I placed it as type=’image’ types=’logo’ fallback_types=’post_images’ and now it works as expected.

    Thanks for working through this with me. I still have issues with the Elementor setup for Archive Item, but gonna leave that for another day. 🙂

    Have a great day.

    Correcting myself. That *should* say
    type=’image’ types=’logo,post_images’ fallback_types=’0′

    updated for future reference — in case I need to look this up again. 🙂
