Access options page values with switch_to_blog

Hi!

I’m using ACF Pro (v5) and have a multisite-setup where I’m going to create like a global footer. This should be fetched from the main sites “footer” options page created with ACF Options and fields.

Using switch_to_blog does not seem to do the trick tho! nothing is fetched at all.. The subsites uses a childtheme (for rapid development) and at first I tried just using the acf-json folder to have the fields registered in the subsites as well. Then I also tried importing them as json so that they exist in the subsites field list. I tried using the field_keys instead of field names but no dice!

I assume it’s messing about because the data is not saved in the regular post_meta table? But I’m not sure what to do about it..

Any ideas? It seems to have worked sometime in a previous version: http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/multisite-switch_to_blog-options-issue/

Heyo!

Sorry for being so friggin dumb sometimes! I had created the childtheme etc. etc. but never activated it but rather used the main theme.. DUH!
