Hi,

I don’t know if someone encountered this or solved this one or if this is an easy fix.

I have a 2 repeaters(featured_designers & our_designers) inside a field group(Designers). I was able to display the featured_designers using have_rows() functionality on my homepage, however, when I tried adding our_designers to a different custom template(About Template), the value is empty? I used the same code from my homepage and just changed the field name in have_rows(). Can someone help me on this one? I attached the comparison between the two codes.

Hello… when referencing an ACF field, sometime you need to pass in the “post/page/CPT ID”… other times it assumes *current* post/page.

It depends where you are creating the data… if it’s an Options Page, pass in “option” as the second parameter, like:

<p><?php the_field('field_name', 'option'); ?></p>

Hope that helps!

@keithlock Thanks man! You’re correct, I need to pass in the current post to make it work. In my case, I added the ID to get the field value. Thanks again for your help.
