Hi,
I’m experiencing some weirdness when trying to output my option page fields.
Attached is images of my setup. The only thing that outputs right now are the <p> tag and the <div> tag surrounding the_field’s.

functions.php:

ACF setup:

Added content to ACF fields:

Front end:

Any ideas what could possibly be wrong?

Have you found a solution yet? I currently have the same problem as all fields are stored in wp_posts and not in wp_options.

You are setting the post ID values of your options page ‘program-settings’ and ‘team-settings’

This means that when using ACF functions you must use these post ID value instead of “options”

the_field('programs_preamble', 'program-settings');

ACF uses the “post_id” as a prefix to the field name in the options table

"options_{$field_name}"

When you change the field name it changes the prefix

"program-settings_{$field_name}"
