Hi,
I have a select field called rating_total. It’s return format is set to label. For simplicity, its values are being displayed in the front end through the shortcode:
[acf field="rating_total"]
However, in one place I want to return the value (as opposed to the label) of that field. I want to use PHP for this and I tried all snippets I found in the documentation or forums – but none worked. They either kept showing the label of the selected option or even returned the field name “Rating total”.
Can I even display the value of this field with PHP despite the return format being set to label (not array or value)?
Solved – I found the format_value parameter
How did you make it happen? I am trying to make things work with shortcodes, I will place them in the design, so that the web owner WON”T break the site.
My short code is [acf field="contact"]
It will be inside the design of a box for example.
Thank you,
Hi, I actually only managed with PHP, not shortcodes:
<?php the_field('rating_total',false,false); ?>
This works for me
