I’m trying to integrate an oEmbed field into someone else’s WordPress template. Here’s what I have to work with.

            if( 
                is_array( ( $fp = get_posts( array(
                    'post_type' => 'featured_project',
                    'post_status' => 'publish',
                    'numberposts' => 1
                ) ) ) )
                AND count( $fp ) 
            ):
?>
                <section id="section-third">
                    <div class="container">
                        <div class="row">
                            <div class="col-md-12">
                                <h1 class="section-heading">Featured Project</h1>
                            </div>
                            <div class="col-md-5">

                                <?php $video = $fp[0]->youtube_video; ?>

                                <?php if($video) : ?>
                                    <?php echo $fp[0]->youtube_video; ?>
                                <?php else: ?>
                                    <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $fp[0]->ID, 'full', array( 'class' => 'img-responsive' ) ); ?>
                                <?php endif; ?>

Everything after col-md-5 is mine. This just outputting a YouTube URL, not the video itself. What needs to change?

Hi @joshkern

I’m afraid I can’t see the usage of ACF there. If you want to show an oEmbed field, kindly check this page: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/oembed/.

In your case, you should pass the ID of the post like this:

the_field('oembed_field_name', $fp[0]->ID);

I hope this helps 🙂

This is exactly what I needed. A lot of this is new to me, so I really appreciate the help.
