Hi @buckybee
Your code looks fine, however you are missing the WP loop which could be causing the issue you have posted.
Without this loop, it is possible that the global $post object is not instantiated correctly.
The WP loop is documented on the codex, and used in the default theme included in your WP install. I would check it out and make sure yo use it.
To test what ACF data is available, try using the get_fields function.
Try also passing in the $post->ID value as the first parameter like so:
get_fields( $post->ID )
This function will return all fields in an array. So you will need to debug the data by dumping it like so:
<?php echo '<pre>';
print_r( get_fields( $post->ID ) );
echo '</pre>';
die; ?>
You mentioned that many other people are having this exact issue? Could you be so kind to link to these other threads, as I am not aware of a widespread issue regarding values not being returned.
Thanks
