Reply To: Optimize code to query Custom Fields as PHP memory limit error?

Hi @caram

You could better optimize the code by making use of the get_field function instead of the get_post_meta function. This will allow ACF to cache data and only load it once (instead of twice in your case):

<?php  if( get_field('yyy') ) { ?>
    <span class="info-detail"><?php  the_field('yyyy'); ?></span>
<?php  } ?>

This said, your code should not be maxing out memory limits, so it’s more likely to be a ‘too many plugins / functionality’ issue. Perhaps a server upgrade is needed or you can remove some plugins / functionality.

Thanks
