Hi everyone!
I have put some simple text fields in the header.php (the user can change the displayed telephone number and specify the URL of a button in the header). The values can be filled using an options page I made for the user.
Works fine, except on search.php search results. Whatever I do, the values are not displayed at all. I’ve disabled all plugins except ACF Pro, still no luck. Any ideas?
TO BE CLEAR: I am not talking about getting ACF’s to show up in search result, I am talking about ACF’s in header.php, that for some reason do not show up when viewing a search results page.
Cheers,
Carsten
… never mind, I found the cause of the problem. I’ve used this script:
http://projects.jesseheap.com/all-projects/wordpress-plugin-tag-search-in-wordpress-23
which seems to interfere with ACF. Looking to find a workaround.
… actually, strike that: I was too quick with drawing conclusions.
This has nothing to do with the Jesse Heap snippet of code.
I found that if I use ACF group and use code like this to display a sub item in that group:
<?php if( have_rows('site_header', 'option') ): ?>
<?php while( have_rows('site_header', 'option') ): the_row(); ?>
<?php if(get_sub_field('phone', 'option')) : ?>
<div id="phone">
<span class="hide-on-phone hide-on-tablet"><?php the_sub_field('phone_header', 'option') ?></span>
<a href="tel:<?php the_sub_field('phone_computer', 'option') ?>"><?php the_sub_field('phone', 'option') ?></a>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
… that this will not display on a search results page. A bug?
Looking at your code and the fact that the values are on an options page, I see no reason that this code should not be executed and show the values on the search result page. The only reason I can come up with is that is code is not loaded in the header for the search results page.
Do you have a “search.php” template in your theme? Does this template load the file that contains your code in the header?
The cause was indeed something else not ACF related, but I’m very very busy at the moment 🙂 Will get back to this post in about a week!
