Can't retrieve the_field() values

Hi all,

I have a feeling it’s trivial but it’s been a while i’m stuck on that one.

I created a flexible content “quote” custom field for all post_type == post, appears well in wp-admin and i’m able to fill it in just fine.

Then on single.php I have the following block:

<?php if ( get_field('post_quote_field') ): ?>
<div class="post-quote">
	<blockquote>
		<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><?php the_field('post_quote'); ?> - <a href="<?php the_field('post_quote_source_link'); ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_field('post_quote_author'); ?></a></h3>
	</blockquote>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Nothing is being displayed. I tried to call the_field(‘post_quote’, 8067); ?> even if it is in the loop, but nothing displays either. I have tried calling the_sub_field() but same result. I’m sure it’s not a typo in field names and can’t think of anything else to try.

Please let me know if you need more info to help…

Very best,
L

To precise, I do have ” – ” displayed which means it’s not about the if statement. Also, the structure of the flexible content custom field is as follows:

field name: post_quote_field
layout name: post_quote_block
field_name: post_quote
field_name: post_quote_author
field_name: post_quote_source_link

My bad, I knew it was trivial – found answers in http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/working-with-nested-repeaters/ – didn’t make the link between nested repeaters and flexible content.
