Hi I trying to use other page for flexible content basically i using flexible content as a sidebar on a site and wanted a fallback in case they haven’t added any content so it falls back to home page content

so i want if has flexible content then use the page id unless use the home page id

any ideas if this can be achieved i played about with some statements but returned nothing

thanks matt

have you tried

if (get_field('flex-field-name')) {
page id
} else {
homepage ID
}

?
that will check if there’s something in the flex field first off, and if there isn’t it’ll fall back to the homepage code
