Place custom field on same line as entry title

Trying to place my titleposition custom field on the same line as the ‘entry_title’ (which is the persons name) in a Team cpt, on single-team.php.

The theme’s code:

do_action( 'generate_before_entry_title' );
	if ( generate_show_title() ) {
	the_title( '<h1 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline">','</h1>');
}

I tried this:

do_action( 'generate_before_entry_title' );
if ( generate_show_title() ) {
	the_title( '<h1 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline">',',');
	the_field( 'titleposition','</h1>' );
}

And though it doesn’t break anything, and my added comma shows up, the titleposition field after the new comma doesn’t show on the front end, nor do I see the titleposition field called at all when I view source code of the page.

What I have:

What I want:

Obviously, I’m no PHP whiz! But I feel like this should be simple. Can anyone show me what I’m doing wrong?

Hello,

The function the_title is part of wordpress, which, optionally, can pass an opening tag and closing tag as the parameters. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_title/

The function the_field is not part of wordpress, but from acf. and the function takes the parameter of field_name and reference. https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/the_field/

So, one way to do it is handle the html yourself:

<?php if (generate_show_title()): ?>
    <h1 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline">
        <?php the_title(); ?>, <?php the_field('titleposition'); ?>
    </h1>
<?php endif; ?>

Cheers. 😀
