Hello, I am trying to automatically display the Field Label for my text fields and for my Gallery Field.

Here is a link to the site I am working on – http://50.62.44.173/~dolcearabians/a-special-versace/

Here is the code I have currently placed in my hooks to display the 4 custom fields:

<div class="acfblock">
<br style="clear:both"/> <br>

<p>

<h1 class="entry-title"> Pedigree </h1>

<p><?php the_field('horse_pedigree'); ?></p>

<br style="clear:both"/>

<h1 class="entry-title"> Photo Gallery </h1>

<?php 
$images = get_field('gallery');

if( $images ): ?>
    <ul>
        <?php foreach( $images as $image ): ?>
            <li>
            
<div class="aligngallery">
    <a href="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>">
                     <img src="<?php echo $image['sizes']['thumbnail']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" />
                </a>
                <p><?php echo $image['caption']; ?></p>
</div>

            </li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>
<?php endif; ?>

<br style="clear:both"/>

<h1 class="entry-title"> Offspring </h1>

<?php 

$images = get_field('offspring');

if( $images ): ?>
    <ul>
        <?php foreach( $images as $image ): ?>
            <li>
          
<div class="alignoffspring">
      <a href="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>">
                     <img src="<?php echo $image['sizes']['thumbnail']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" />
                </a>
                <p><?php echo $image['caption']; ?></p>

</div>
            </li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>
<?php endif; ?>

<br style="clear:both"/>

<h1 class="entry-title"> Video </h1>
<p><?php the_field('video'); ?></p> </div>

As you can see I am currently using <h1> tags to create the titles, but this is not a good solution as the field titles display even if the user has not inputted any gallery or video content.

Can you help me with what code I need to display a field label for my Gallery fields (Gallery & Offspring) and also for my text fields? (Pedigree, Video)

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi @makeitminnesota,

Thank you for the question.

You can make use of the get_field_obejct function to return an array of the field object as seen in the field group edit screen.

In your scenario, you can apply the function as follow:

/*
*  Get a field object and display it with it's value (using the field key and the value fron another post)
*/

$field_key = "field_5039a99716d1d";
$post_id = 123;
$field = get_field_object($field_key, $post_id);

echo $field['label'] . ': ' . $field['value'];

You can have a look at this resource page for more info on this.
