Hi there. I managed to write som code that did the job.

In my functions.php:

// Get custom fields from main blog

if ( function_exists( 'get_sites' ) && class_exists( 'WP_Site_Query' ) ) {

	$custom_fields = '';
	$main_blog = 1;
		
		switch_to_blog( $main_blog );
		$custom_fields = array(
			'head' 		=> get_field('tracking_head', 'options'),
			'body' 		=> get_field('tracking_body', 'options'),
			'footer' 	=> get_field('tracking_footer', 'options'),
			'menu_html' => get_field('menu_html', 'options')
		);
			
		restore_current_blog();
	
	return $custom_fields;
}

And in my template file, I could retrieve the contents of the fields by writing for example:

<?php echo $custom_fields['body']; ?>

Only thing that wonders me now is that I can’t use the echo command when I put it inside an include file, ie:

<php get_template_part('templatename_with_echo_customfields'); ?>
