I have created some custom fields using ACF.
And I am displaying one of those custom fields inside the Theme X content builder using a shortcode I made:
// Add Shortcode
function shortccode_14_eyes() {
if ( get_field( 'privacy_fourteen_eyes_country' ) ):
return '<span style="color:#EE121E;"><i class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></span>';
endif;
}
add_shortcode( '14_eyes', 'shortccode_14_eyes' );
If the field privacy_fourteen_eyes_country is true, it will display a font awesome icon.
The problem is that the icon is displaying even when the custom field has a false value. The icon shows no matter what value the field has (true or false).
I thought maybe my code was wrong so I tested it using https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-content-shortcode/ which generates shortcodes for ACF.
[if field=privacy_fourteen_eyes_country value=1]<span style="color: #ee121e;"><i class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></span>[/if]
But it has the exact same problem. The icon shows no matter what value the field has.
I’m having a really frustrating and wasteful day trying to get this working. Do you know what is going wrong?
Here are the settings page for my ACF field: http://nimb.ws/RFKukJ
As per another thread (https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/the-group-field/) I have also tried the below code, but it doesn’t work either.
/* Add 14 eyes shortcode */
function shortcode_14_eyes() {
$privacy = get_field('privacy');
if( $privacy ):
if( $privacy['fourteen_eyes_country'] ):
return '<span style="color:#EE121E;"><i class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></span>';
endif;
endif;
}
add_shortcode( '14_eyes', 'shortcode_14_eyes' );
UPDATE: I can get things working, but then as soon as I change one of the custom fields on the backend it stops working. It will just display nothing, or display an old value.
I have no caching plugins running, and cloudflare is turned off. I am also clearing the browser cache each time.
Why is this happening?
