<h4>Image Conventions</h4>
<ul>
<li>The size of the image should be 730 x 300.</li>
<li>They should be named based on the layout’s name (<code>text_block</code>) with underscores converted to dashes (<code>text-block.jpg</code>).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Image Location</h4>
<p>Images should be placed in your theme. By default, images are located here: <code>THEME/lib/admin/images/acf-flexible-content-extended</code>.</p>
<p>Also note that you can filter this path, but it <strong>MUST</strong> be in your theme:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'acf-flexible-content-extended.images_path', $path );
</code></pre>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> The path should not have a trailing beginning or trailing slash!</p>
