Hi Nuro, that’s a no on that but thank you for your suggestion.
It’s crazy. It seems so easy yet just doesn’t work.
Trying it normally with manual ID of page like:
<?php
$other_page = 890;
?>
<?php the_field('field_name', $other_page); ?>
…works great so the data IS being passed from the other page. I then had another idea of trying this way:
<?php
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$username = $current_user->user_login;
$other_page = $username;
?>
<p><?php the_field('favourite_movie', $other_page); ?></p>
…which didn’t work either.
The username of the current user IS also working when I ask for it conventionally:
<?php global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
echo 'Username is ' . $current_user->user_login . "\n";
?>
Baffled.
Elliot, how can I debug this? I’ve tried dumping the values:
<?php
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$other_page = $current_user->user_login;
$values = get_field('favourite_movie');
var_dump($values);
?>
and get bool(false) printed out?
