Hi,
I created a file field, it’s working, but my problem is I can’t display the file when I use this simple code :

<?php
if( get_field('myfield') ):
    ?><a href="<?php the_field('myfield'); ?>" >Download File</a><?php
endif;
?>

And if I try this code :

<?php 
$value = get_field('myfield');
echo '<pre>';
print_r( $value );
echo '</pre>';
?>

I get everything good :
Array
(
[id] => 140
[alt] =>
[title] => Finish
[caption] =>
[description] =>
[mime_type] => image/jpeg
[url] => http://localhost:8888/mysite/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/31.jpg
)

I also tried that :

<?php
$attachment_id = get_field('myfield');
$url = wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment_id );
$title = get_the_title( $attachment_id );

if( get_field('myfield') ):
    ?><a href="<?php echo $url; ?>" >Download File "<?php echo $title; ?>"</a><?php
endif;
?>

I don’t understand because if I try to display $url, I have nothing…

So I really don’t understand why the url is not good when I try to display the file.

Thank you

Ok, I find my mistake, I forget to set one parameter in the file field :

return value : File URL
