In the loop displaying my lists of posts, I would like to use an ac-field from my each individual post (to display a certain hero picture). What is the best way to target these fields that is reusable and will keep working for future posts.

As long as you are inside “The Loop” when you get a field value it will return the field associated with the current post.

Unless I’m missing something.

while (have_posts()) {
    the_post();

    // this will get the field value for the current post
    $value = get_field('my_field_name');
}
