I just installed ACF Pro for the first time. I created a test field in a test group assigned to a user. I can see the field on the user page with a defined value.
I tried all the functions listed on the docs to retrieve the field or its value in my code but Im failing.
I tried:
get_field( “test_field”, “user_1” );
get_field( “test_field” );
and the object functions as well.. I dont even see the custom field in the user meta.. what am I missing?
Is the user you’ve saved data for user 1?
This code:
get_field( 'test_field', 'user_1' );
Gets the data for user ID 1. If you wanted user ID 9 you’d need to do:
get_field( 'test_field', 'user_9' );
For example.
If you’re not seeing the data even in the wp_usermeta
table something else may be going on as well.
Can you please provide the code you are using to output the values? or is what you posted exactly what you added to your template to show the value?
get_field( “test_field”, “user_1” );
Try
echo get_field('test_field', 'user_1');
or
the_field('test_field', 'user_1');
