I have a custom post type called semesters. I created an archive page for that post type called archive-semesters.php. On the template page of archive-semesters.php, I’m trying to get all the fields of each post but when I call the get_fields function it’s returning null.

              while ( have_posts() ):
                the_post();
                $title = get_the_title();
                $post_id = get_the_id();
                $fields = get_fields( $post_id );
                ?>
                  <div>
                    <?php
                      echo '<pre>';
                        var_dump( $post_id );
                        var_dump( $fields );
                      echo '</pre>';
                    ?>
                  </div>
                <?php
                $count++;
              endwhile;

Hey man,

Inside the loop you don’t need to pass the post id argument. Try if just $xxx = get_fields();

And remeber, ” get_fields() ” will only return fields that have value on the post
