So, I have created CF, type: post object, with Select multiple values = OFF. Added value in wp-admin without any problem. In page template, I use get_field_objects to get values. However, $field[‘value’] doesn’t return anything.
If I turn Select multiple values = ON, then $field[‘value’] shows correct value.
Here is the code. Did I do something wrong?
$fields = get_field_objects( get_the_ID() );
if ( $fields ) {
/* sorting */
$order = array();
foreach ( $fields as $key => $field ) :
$order[ $key ] = $field[ 'menu_order' ];
endforeach;
array_multisort( $order, SORT_ASC, $fields );
/** showing result on front-end **/
foreach ( $fields as $field ) {
echo '<h6>'.$field['label'].'</h6>';
$field_values = $field['value'];
if ( is_array( $field_values ) ) {
echo '<ul>';
$real_values = get_field( $field['name'] );
foreach ( $real_values as $post ) {
setup_postdata( $post );
echo '<li>'.get_the_title().'</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
wp_reset_postdata();
}
else {
echo '<ul><li>'.$field_values.'</li></ul>';
}
}
}
What is being shown here? anything?
echo '<ul><li>'.$field_values.'</li></ul>';
You are returning a post object, a post object is not an array and is not a single value.
My expectation here would be that you’d see something like
Recoverable fatal error: Object of class WP_Post could not be converted to string in .../template-parts/post/content.php on line 12
No, there is nothing shown there. The worst thing is no error returns in front-end. Just a blank space. It cuts off all results, WordPress code after that. For example, no more footer, even when I view source code, there are still close body, html tags. Something likes break in the loop.
In the server log, there is error recorded anyway:

if you see nothing then you are seeing a partial white screen, a fatal error is causing execution to stop. Turn on debugging https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG
Now, I see the same error as you posted above. However, I am not sure why it runs the “else” there?
what you need to do is detect this return value
if (is_a($field_values, 'WP_Post')) {
// return is a single post object
// convert it to an array for use below
$field_values = array($field_values);
}
if ( is_array( $field_values ) ) {
