How do you use ACF fields from a custom post type within a custom plugin? It seems like these fields are only available inside the loop.
For example, how would you use a custom field ‘subtitle’ to create a meta description via pre_get_posts?
Hi @staypuftman
You need to pass the post ID where you want to get the data form to the second parameter of get_field()
or the_field()
function like this:
get_field('subtitle', 99);
Where “99” is the post ID where you want to get the data from.
This page should give you more idea about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_field/.
I hope this helps 🙂
Thanks James, sorry I lost track of this ticket. This was very helpful.
