I hope this question wont be below standards of this forum.

Im trying to list posts with two values :
– topic of post (custom text field)
– name and last name from user type custom field (promoter) that is associated with specific role Ive created

When Im using the_field(‘promoter’), Im getting data in shape like:
4, Promotor, Promotorski, promotor, promotor, Promotor Promotorski, [email protected], , 2016-07-20 06:45:23, , – which are all meta of that field. I want to print specific one which would be Promotor Promotorski in this case.

Also I realized any get_ functions doesnt get data. the_field is working but echo get_field is not. If I would be able to get at least ID of that associated user it would be wonderful.

Its a code Ive got right now. Hope that Polish name of fields wont hurt you much.

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: browse_posts
 */
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$args=array(
  'post_type' => 'tematy_prac',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1,
  'meta_query' => array(
  array(
  'key' => 'status_pracy',
  'value' => 'Zaakceptowany',
  )
  )
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

    <p>
      <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_field('temat'); ?></a>
      <?php
       the_field('promotor');
        ?>
    </p>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}else{
  echo "brak tematów";
}
wp_reset_query(); 
?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>    

I really apologize if this question is too dumb.

Okay. Im stupid. I just…:

?php
$array = get_field('promotor');
print_r($array['display_name']);
   

and it works.
Its all because user field is array, so it cant be used with echo.
I think you should delete this post. Im sorri!
