This is one of the very useful plugin in ACF. But I’m just wondering why can’t I pull the values from the field into the front-end. I added the field locations to the user profile.

I tried using this:

$values = get_field(‘locations’);
$lat = $values[‘lat’];
$lng = $values[‘lng’];
$address = $values[‘address’];

tried echoing $address, but to no avail.

So what I did was replace get_field with get_the_author_meta, to make it work like this:

$values = get_the_author_meta(‘locations’);
echo $values;

I echoed out $values and returns:
{“address”:”beverly hills”,”lat”:34.072856123839486,”lng”:-118.40037775767212,”zoom”:16}

But my problem is when i used this;
$lat = $values[‘lat’];
$lng = $values[‘lng’];
$address = $values[‘address’];
echo $address;

Nothing is returned. What could be the problem? Can you help with this?

Or how am i suppose to break the returned
{“address”:”beverly hills”,”lat”:34.072856123839486,”lng”:-118.40037775767212,”zoom”:16}
into three attributes (address, lat, lng)?

I’m looking forward to hear from you.

Cheers!
