Displaying Value of a Field

  • Hello all, newbie question.

    I have created 4 custom options for portfolio items, which includes uploading an image and then adding a custom title, subtitle, tagline and link. However, when they all return as “Array” instead of the actual value.

    I.E.: A portfolio items has the following settings:
    Title: Welcome
    Subtitle: The Best Place in the World
    Tagline: Click Me
    Link: https://click.me

    However, instead of displaying the correct values, it just all returns as “Array”.

    Can someone please help with this, I am getting tired of relying on creating extra divs and putting in this information in the image file (as “Caption”, “Title”, “Description”).

    Much thanks will be given!

  • Exactly how are these fields set up? Are these fields you are getting part of a group field? sub fields of a repeater? Something else?

  • They are part of a group.

  • A group field returns an array. You need to either show the elements of the array or use sub field function. The documentation is here https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/group/

  • Oh, I misunderstood your question. It is is not as a group, but a text field.

  • There is no reason that a text field should be returning an array. Please provide some code and additional information on fields you are trying to show.

  • So sorry for the very late response. Here is my PHP Code

    <div class="nk-slider-item <?php echo esc_attr( $active_class ); ?>" data-categories="<?php echo esc_attr( $categories ); ?>" data-background-position="<?php echo esc_attr( $position ); ?>">
                        <?php
                        echo '<img
                            src="' . esc_url( $image['src'] ) . '"
                            srcset="' . esc_attr( $image_small ? $image_small['src'] : $image['src'] ) . '"
                            data-srcset="' . esc_attr( $srcset ) . '"
                            data-sizes="auto"
                            alt="' . esc_attr( $item['title'] ) . '"
                            class="lazyload"
                            style="object-position: ' . esc_attr( $position ) . ';"
    						title="'?><?php echo $portfolio_title['value'] ?><?php echo'"
    						subtitle="'?><?php echo $portfolio_subtitle['value'] ?><?php echo'"
    						tagline="'?><?php echo $portfolio_tagline['value'] ?><?php echo'"
    						link="'?><?php echo $portfolio_link['value'] ?><?php echo'"
                        >';
    
                        if ( $video_url ) {
                            echo '<div data-bg-video="' . esc_attr( $video_url ) . '" data-bg-video-size="' . esc_attr( $video_size ? $video_size : '16x9' ) . '"></div>';
                        }
                        ?>
                    </div>

    And this is the ACP function
