Integrating Custom Fields into Theme Templates Outside the Loop

Okay I’m working with the Advanced Custom Fields Plugin to create custom fields for various categories. I have searched the web for hours on a solution to actually integrate them into the template php to appear. I’m applying it to a page called archive-product.php and pulling from a custom field based on the current category.

This is the code i’m using to pull a Custom Field named slide_title_1

<?php the_field(“slide_title_1”, $category_id); ?>

Do I need to add code or a variable somewhere else to get this to work?

Any help is SO GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance,

Hi @LindseyLeanne

Just to confirm, are you trying to load data from a taxonomy term?

If so, please read: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to/how-to-get-values-from-a-taxonomy-term/

Thanks
