Custom field link outputting custom field name #33

Hi Mr. Smith,

Big fan of your work.

I was using your plugin as it allowed me to replace the permalinks with a custom link, using a custom field. I called my custom field a subsite-link

Recently we noticed some 404 errors from those custom links as the output had become http://www.siteurl.com/subsite-link

After looking through widget.php, it looks like line 397 is calling 'genesis_get_custom_field( 'gsfc_link_image_field' )' which in effect is looking for a custom field with the name gsfc_link_image_field, yes?

I renamed my custom field name from subsite-link to gsfc_link_image_field and am now getting the correct output.

Let me know if I can help troubleshoot or solve further. And thanks again for the great plugin. customfield gsfc_widget_screen

Awesome hidden feature! It works for me too, but wondering, is there a way to reference things like category and subcategory as a variable or shortcode either in the widget or the custom field you mention?

It would make things a bit more general than hardcoding them.

Thanks!
