Using post custom fields in a Flexible content field

Hi there,

I am successfully pulling in my flexibly content field and the sub fields.

I also manage to pull in a list of the posts using a relationship field.

Using the code below I do this:

<?php while(has_sub_field("flexible_content")): ?>
			<?php if(get_row_layout() == "text_box"): ?>
				<p class="default-header">
					<?php the_sub_field("text_box_intro_text"); ?>
				</p>
				<p><?php the_sub_field("text_box_main_content"); ?></p>
				</div>
				<?php elseif(get_row_layout() == "people_cards"): ?>
					
					<div>
									 
						<?php if(get_sub_field("select_people_cards")): ?>
							<ul>
							<?php foreach(get_sub_field("select_people_cards") as $p): ?>
								<li><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($p->ID); ?>"><?php echo get_the_title($p->ID); ?></a></li>
								 <li><?php the_field('person_intro_text'); ?></li>
							<?php endforeach; ?>
							</ul>
						<?php endif; ?>
			 
					</div>					
					
			<?php endif; ?>
		<?php endwhile; ?>

What I am having problems is on the line where I use <?php the_field(‘person_intro_text’); ?> – there I am trying to pull in a custom field that the resulting post has.

E.g. My flexi field shows a list of posts using relationship field.
Each of those posts have a custom field called person_intro_text, that is the field I am trying to show.

Are you able to tell me where I am going wrong?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi @shrimp144

Just like you pass the $p->ID to the title function, you need to do the same with ACF:

<?php the_field('person_intro_text', $p->ID); ?>

Thanks
