Since I’ve now spent too much time trying to do the same thing, and finding this post with no update, I wanted to post a solution for others (or myself when I search again)
Even though “value” is selected on the checkbox, the item is still stored as an array. As such, you do just a normal “get_field” as you’d be getting an array that returns “1”.
We need the info contained in the array.
$variable = get_field(‘acffield’);
$var_value = $variable[‘value’];
Now we can see the values;
if ($var_value == “first”) {
echo “do this”;
}
elseif ($var_value ==”second”) {
echo “do that”;
}
Hopefully that gets someone else on the right track.
