ACF in attachment-single.php

  • In the attachment-single.php page the media file requested from the the_content function is shown.

    The problem I have is that in the get_field page is showing the result of get_field and the results in the_content (both), should not show the_content.

    Why it can be happening?

    The get_field configuration is : http://i.imgur.com/QZcxPP2.jpg

  • I am not sure if someone will understand the problem. Can you explain it differently? I dont see how that screenshot is connected with the problem you are trying to describe. What’s exactly the issue?

  • The screen only shows the type of field that I use.

    The code I use is as follows:
    <?php
    if ( get_field( ‘chapo’ ) )
    { ?>
    <?php echo get_field( ‘chapo’ ); ?>
    <?php
    } ?>
    <?php the_content(); ?>

    In get_field(‘Chapo’) is being added what is on the_content(); and the content of get_field(‘Chapo’).

    The same goes for other get_field I have on the page.

  • OK, it’s an error in the php logic. In your code you are saying IF chapo, display ‘chapo’ and also the_content(). You need to use ELSE to display one or another, such as:

    <?php $field = get_field('chapo');?>
    <?php if( !empty($field) ) { ?>
    <?php echo $field; ?>
    <?php } else { ?>
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    <?php } ?>

    I am also adding a condition that says: if ‘chapo’ is not empty. Which is helpful most of the time.

    Cheers!

  • No, I’m sorry if I was unclear. The problem is that the *content* of the post is being displayed where **get_field** is called. For example, on attachment pages, the attachment content appears before the content of the field:

    <audio><!-- attachment audio stuff... --></audio>
    <p>WYSIWYG content from get field</p>

    The entire **<audio/>** tag should not appear there, it is not called in the code and is not in the WYSIWYG content of the field.

    This error only appears with WYSIWYG fields.

  • can you specify:

    1) what are you puting in the chapo field.
    2) what are you putting in the content editor
    3) where / how is the attachment being added
    4) whats the code in your php file
    5) what should be the desired output?

  • 1) what are you puting in the chapo field.
    <p>WYSIWYG content from get field</p>

    2) what are you putting in the content editor
    <audio><!-- attachment audio stuff... --></audio>
    (this really is the media file)

    3) where / how is the attachment being added
    From the media library (wp-admin/media-new.php)

    4) whats the code in your php file
    page.php

    <?php
    get_header();
    
    while (have_posts())
    {
      the_post();
    
      if ( get_post_type() == 'attachment' )
      {
        get_template_part( 'attachment', 'single' );
      }
      else
      {
        get_template_part( 'content', 'page' );
      }
    }
    
    get_footer();

    attachment-single.php

    <div class="chapo">
      <?php
      if ( get_field( 'chapo' ) )
      { ?>
        <?php echo get_field( 'chapo' ); ?>
      <?php
      } ?>
    </div>
    <div class="content">
      <?php the_content(); ?>
    </div>

    5) what should be the desired output?

    <div class="chapo"><p>WYSIWYG content from get field</p></div>
    <div class="content"><audio><!-- attachment audio stuff... --></audio></div>

    6. What actually appears?

    <div class="chapo"><audio><!-- attachment audio stuff... --></audio><p>WYSIWYG content from get field</p></div>
    <div class="content"><audio><!-- attachment audio stuff... --></audio></div>

    Note: This happens with any media file, not just audio.

  • Ok, now it’s clearer.

    My question would be: if you just need to output text in a WYSIWYG field, why dont you just write the text in the_content() and attach the audio to that field as well? Why two fields?

    But try this code and tell me if it works:

    <div class="chapo">
    	<?php the_field('chapo'); ?>
    </div>
    
    <div class="content">
    	<?php the_content(); ?>
    </div>

    If it doesn’t, can you inspect the html with chrome or firefox and tell me what’s being displayed inside these divs?

  • It makes no difference whether I use the_field or get_field. I have tried both.

    I have no problem displaying the content. Please do not concern yourself with the_content.

    The problem is that what is returned from get_field (or displayed by the_field) __includes__ the content.
