How can I get all the choices from a field (to use in the front-end without using get_field_object?

get_field_object requires at least 1 post to be matched in search to work.
If no post matches the search query then get_field_object doesn’t return anything.

I could pass it a $post_id manually but is there any other way which doesn’t require a post_id?

Hi @sil3ntone

I believe you can do it like this:

$field = acf_get_field('field_1234567890');

Where ‘field_1234567890’ is the field key of your custom field.

I hope this helps.
