Hi,
i have a problem to output a field direct in the funktions.php.
The code <?php the_field(‘anyfieldname’); ?>
<?php echo get_field(‘anyfieldname’); ?>
works in all php files – single.php, page.php etc but not in the functions.php.
what i do wrong
pls hlp
thx
Hi @snoopdog1971
The issue you had mostly occurred because your code was executed outside of The Loop. To fix it, you need to pass the post/page ID as the second parameter to the the_field() function like this:
the_field('custom_field_name', 99);
Where “99” is the post/page ID where the custom field is assigned. This page should give you more idea about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_field/.
To dynamically get the ID, you can use the global $post variable like this:
global $post;
the_field('custom_field_name', $post->ID);
I hope this helps 🙂
