Hey guys,

iam using WordPress with the Divi theme and the Advanced Custom Fields Plugin.
Iam trying to load the value of field ‘text_field’ from the current post.
$value = get_field( "text_field" );

*But iam getting this error message: Uncaught ReferenceError: get_field is not defined*

Do i need to enqueue the ACF scripts?

function themeslug_enqueue_style() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'my-theme', 'style.css', false );
}
 
function themeslug_enqueue_script() {
    wp_enqueue_script( 'my-js', 'filename.js', false );
}
 
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'themeslug_enqueue_style' );
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'themeslug_enqueue_script' );

And where do i need to add this PHP? in Single PHP?

Greetings Chris

Are you trying to call get_field() in JavaScript? This is a PHP function and will not work in JS.
