Hi
something is not working when trying to display data from a simple text field
i created a field named uni-title
and used this in my template
<h3><?php the_field('uni_title'); ?></h3>
all I get is an empty h3 tag
the page is in hebrew and here is the page link
I used it in the right sidebar under the short form
Thanks

Well I t does work in the default page template
the one I am having problem with is a portfolio template
maybe that’s what causing it
will appreciate any suggestions
Thanks

hi!

Is it uni-title or uni_title? Make sure those match since you’ve written both in your description..

It should not matter what template you’re using it on, but I guess that depending on where in the template you use it you might need to provide the post id as well.. try this:

<?php global $post; ?>
<h3><?php the_field('uni_title', $post->ID); ?></h3>

hi Jonathan
Thanks for the quick response!
I tried your solution but it still doesnt work.
I put the code in the sidebar section of the template
you can see the page code here:

Thanks again

Ah! We’ll it seems your wp_query that comes after the regular loop overwrites the post object with this: $wp_query->the_post();

You can try putting wp_reset_postdata(); right after the endwhile for that loop.. If that does not work try putting the value in a variable inside the regular loop that comes before the new wp_query and then access the variable where you need it 🙂
