HI, I have problem with display date from field <?php the_field(‘field_name’, ‘option’); ?>

My code in functions.php

//  ----------------------------------------
//  ACF option page
//  ----------------------------------------

if( function_exists('acf_add_options_page') ) {
    
    acf_add_options_page(array(
        'page_title'    => 'Theme General Settings',
        'menu_title'    => 'Footer1',
        'menu_slug'     => 'footer1',
        'capability'    => 'edit_posts',
        'redirect'      => false
    ));
    
}

And code in template:

<span><?php the_field('opis_footer', 'footer1') ?></span>

I did also:

<?php var_export(the_field('opis_footer', 'footer1')) ?>

and it looks like it returns NULL

ACF PRO 5.6.9
Wordpress 4.9.4
Testet on PHP 5.6 & 7.1

Any ideas ?

Do you maybe have WPML installed ?

hey Bee, nope I don’t have WMPL installed. My plugins are:

1. Advanced Custom Fields PRO
2. Akismet Anti-Spam
4. Hello Dolly
5. Meks Smart Social Widget
6. WP Social Widget

Oh wait… it looks like your syntax is wrong.

the_field('field_name', 'option')

Hey,
you mean
get_field('field_name', 'option') instead the_field('field_name', 'option') ?

if yes, the result is still same… :-/

the_field echoes the value.
get_field returns the value (but doesn’t echo).

Have you tried deactivating all other plugins and revert tot a default (WP) theme ?
Does the problem still exist then ?
