Hi there!
Thanks for the plugin, i really think it is very good and useful.
But i got a problem trying to show the custom fields.
I have a custom field, Barcode, with Field Name: barcode, and i try to show the information like this:
<?php the_field("barcode"); ?>
Also I tried this:

if( get_field( "barcode" ) ): ?>
    <p><?php the_field( "barcode" ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

The fields appears to be empty, because it never shows the information inside “Barcode”.
Also i made sure that the fields are not empty in the post.

Can anyone help?
Im using Twenty Thirteen theme in 3.7.1 WP and i place the code above inside content.php after showing the content:
<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentythirteen' ) ); ?>
so it is inside the loop.

Please, help! it must be a silly thing, i hope!

Use ‘ instead of “:

<?php the_field('barcode'); ?>

Any good?

Hi @iversoncru

Can you 100% confirm that the template where you entered the code is the correct template?

If you add in some HTML, is the html rendered correctly?

Thanks

hello @elliot
I place the code in content.php and it looks like this:

<div class="entry-content">
		<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentythirteen' ) ); ?>
		<ul>
			<li>Price in £: <?php the_field("price-in-£"); ?></li>
			<li>Barcode: <?php the_field("barcode"); ?></li>
			<li>Place: <?php the_field("place"); ?></li>
		</lu>
		<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links"><span class="page-links-title">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentythirteen' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>', 'link_before' => '<span>', 'link_after' => '</span>' ) ); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->

Is there a problem with it?

Hi @iversoncru

There is no problem with your snippet of code.

When you view the page source, can you see the ‘ul’ element and the 3 li’s in the HTML?
