GB 2.0 replacement for generateblocks_background_image_url filter?

user/pass provided below…

Hi all.

The dynamic tag is added in the styles panel > Backgrounds > Background Image.

When I add the field it has double-braces on it, but after saving, the outermost pair of braces disappear, leaving only the single pair you showed in your screenshot.

Oddly, when I display that element in Inspector, I do not see the style for .gb-element-4d922c3f at all.

I have added an admin account for you on the site, see below.

The GP Element containing the background is in the private info below. You will find the dynamic tag assigned to the very first container in the Element, the one labelled “Hero”.

I moved the tag to the location you specified. It doesn’t work in that location either. The latest version of the code is pasted below. Based on the error_log() debugging output, the tag is registered, but sometimes the 'return' => '\AcornFinance\Customizations\get_hero_background_business_tag' is never called. Other times, it executes and produces this output to error_log():

[22-Jul-2025 14:22:32 UTC] +++ Registering Hero Background Business Dynamic Tag
[22-Jul-2025 14:22:33 UTC] +++ get_hero_background_business_tag called with options: Array
(
    [tag_name] => hero_background_business
)

[22-Jul-2025 14:22:33 UTC] +++ Missing or empty default image URL, using default URL
[22-Jul-2025 14:22:33 UTC] +++ Missing or empty af_hero_bg postmeta for ID 0

Based on that output, it should return the value '/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Contractor-Hero-Background.webp'.

The code is:

add_action( 'init', '\AcornFinance\Customizations\register_hero_background_business_dynamic_tag', 20 );
function register_hero_background_business_dynamic_tag() {
    error_log( "+++ Registering Hero Background Business Dynamic Tag" );

    // if ( class_exists( 'GenerateBlocks_Register_Dynamic_Tag' ) ) {
        new \GenerateBlocks_Register_Dynamic_Tag(
            [
                'title'       => __( 'Hero Background Business', 'generatepress-child' ),
                'tag'         => 'hero_background_business',
                'type'        => 'post',
                'supports'    => [ 'source' ],
                'description' => __( 'Get the hero background image path for a business page.', 'generatepress-child' ),
                'options'     => [
                    'default-image-url' => [
                        'type'        => 'text',
                        'label'       => __( 'Default Image URL', 'generatepress-child' ),
                        'help'        => __( 'Default image URL to use if no hero background is found.', 'generatepress-child' ),
                    ],
                ],
                'return'      => '\AcornFinance\Customizations\get_hero_background_business_tag',
            ]
        );
    // }
}
