Reply To: Get a field object outside of the post context

outside of the search result loop, i have the search form like this :

Sort by :
– post type
– post_type_1_checkbox
– post_type_2_checkbox
– …
– date
– 2001
– 2003
– …
– language
– french
– english
– ….

the languages choices must sort all the languages select option on the field ‘language’. That is what i want 🙂

because i am not on a post that is using this field (i am on the search page), i cannot use
get_field_object('language')['choices'][get_field('language')]
to sort all options available for ‘language’ field.

get_field_object(‘language’) returns false because i am not on the scope of that field (this field is for posts not for pages).

I want something to get the field structure regardless of the post id.
Something like the export of acf fields, but with a function i can use on my theme/plugin
