Well..
I think you need to use other function. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_post_thumbnail_url/
Something like this:
<img src="<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail_url( $location->ID, 'thumbnail' ) ?>" />
This should work with something like:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'your_custom_post_type',
'meta_key'=> 'your_field_date',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'ASC'
);
If you’re are working with the archive page, maybe a best way to do it is modify the main query with the pre_get_posts hook.
For Example:
// in your functions.php
function sort_by_date_my_cpt( $query ) {
if ( is_post_type_archive( 'your_custom_post_type') ) {
$query->set('meta_key', 'your_date_custom_field');
$query->set('orderby', 'meta_value');
$query->set('order', 'ASC');
return;
}
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'sort_by_date_my_cpt', 1);
So then, you will to use your WP Loop by default in your archive template.
// in your archive-your_custom_posttype.php or archive.php
<?php if ( have_posts() ) :
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Do you are showing the fields with the acf’s functions on your templates?
for example:
<?php the_field('my_field'); ?>
Here more info https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/
For every custom fields you create, you’ll to need show it in your template.

Hi Beth.
Well, if you validate it with a simple if, something like this:
<?php if ( get_field('fireplace' ) ) : ?>
// do something
<?php the_field('fireplace'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
This will show the field only if the field “fireplace” have something, this works with text fields and any field as well.
Here the docs about it https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/true-false/
Like a extra point. To print the value of a custom field, you can use directly the function the_field('your_field_name') but if do you want to check or save the value of the field in a variable, you can use get_field('your_field_name')
