How do I render a checkbox field on the frontend

I can render the radio input easily with:

get_field('mdf_campaign_prospects');

How can I add the form radio input to the front end? I’m happy to do it manually, but I need to get it’s list of possible options back so I need to do that.

Is there something like:

render_field('mdf_campaign_prospects');

HI @designer023

Thanks for the post.

To render fields in the frontend you will need to make use of the acf_form() and the acf_form_head() functions within your template.

The code would like so:

<?php acf_form_head(); ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>

	<div id="primary" class="content-area">
		<div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">

			<?php /* The loop */ ?>
			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<?php acf_form(array(
					'post_id'	=> 123,
					'post_title'	=> false,
                                        'fields'        => array(field_fd152627e),
					'submit_value'	=> 'Update the post!'
				)); ?>

			<?php endwhile; ?>

		</div><!-- #content -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
