Text field that should show content displays bool(false)

I have this in my template:

<?php if ( get_field( "volgende_pagina_link" ) ) : ?>
            <p class="articlenav"><a class="next" href="<?php the_field("volgende_pagina_link"); ?>"><?php the_field( "volgende_text" ); ?></a></p>
<?php endif; ?>

The text field volgende_pagina_link displays as intended, volgende_text displays nothing even though it is filled in. I am certain the name of the field is spelled correctly.

When I do a var dump I get bool(false) as output for the volgende_text field, even though it certainly has content.

This is driving me mad…

I have also tried this on the live server now and the problem prevails. Would really appreciate any help.

Deleted and re-created the field, now it works. Weird.

Hi @Florian

Thanks for the updates on this one. I’m not sure why the value was not being found, but could have something to do with a cached value which was fixed by creating a fresh field with a fresh ID.

Lets hope this issue does not re-surface. If it does, I can take a look myself if you are happy to post login details.

Cheers
