Checkbox value not displaying

Hi,

I’m having trouble with a check box not returning a value. I’m trying to make a option for a page to show/hide page titles, but I’m unable to get the value.

I have tried this after seeing a similar issue here http://goo.gl/My3nq …

<?php
$option = get_field('hide_page_title');

echo '<pre>';
	var_dump( $option );
echo '</pre>';
die;

?>

It returns “bool(false)” no matter if it is checked or not. And the_field(‘hide_page_title’) return nothing.

Other fields seem to working OK.

Can anyone help me please?

Hi @Cloud9

The issue will be 1 of 2 things:

1. The field name is incorrect. Please double check it
2. The global $post object is not correct. This is more likely the case and to help you further I will need to know:

Where is the data saved?
What template are you loading the data from?

Hi Elliot,

Thanks for the reply. I’m using a custom child theme I’m building based on the Roots theme ( http://www.rootstheme.com/ )

I’m not sure what you mean when you say ‘where is te data saved’.

The template is a custom one which looks like this http://snipt.org/AFah6/Dark

I have attached two screen shots that might help.

Thanks

Hi @Cloud9

Looking at your screenshot it seems you have a spelling mistake in your field name!

Elliot,

I’m SO sorry for wasting your time. But thanks all the same.
