I have created a True/False ACF field called ‘custom_acf’ and im trying to do an if statement where if its true it shows something, and if false shows something else. Below is what i have, but it is displaying as false whether the the true/false is ticked or not. Where am i going wrong?

$advantagePremium = false;

if ( get_field(‘custom_acf’)) {
$advantagePremium == true;
} else {
$advantagePremium == false;
}

if ($advantagePremium == true) {
return “Link 1“;
} elseif ($advantagePremium == false) {
return “Link 2“;
}

Hi @will-lawrencefuturform-co-uk

Could you please make sure that the get_field() function returns the correct value? Could you please debug it like this:

var_dump( get_field('custom_acf') );

If that doesn’t return the correct data, it’s possible that the get_field() function is loaded outside of The Loop. In this case, could you please pass the post ID to the get_field() function like this:

get_field('custom_acf', 99)

Where ’99’ is the post ID.

If still no joy, could you please share the JSON or XML export file of your field group so I can check your setup?

Thanks 🙂
