Hi @Squideyes
Your debugging shows that ACF is unable to load the value. This can be due to 1 or 2 things:
1. ACF has no idea which post to load the custom field from
2. There is no value saved for the current post
Can you explain in which file you are running this code. Is it within the loop? Can you test that the global $post is correct at the time when you run the ACF code?
Thanks
