  • @debendra What if my field is in a repeater?

  • Ok, in way of an update, I’ve done a bit more investigation and discovered the following. Using <?php echo get_field('custom_bg', $product->ID); ?> correctly displays the image from the custom field – YAY!

    However, this only works on certain products! Right now, during testing, I only have two active Woocommerce products, with IDs 98 and 106. I’ve added some debug code to the page so I know what the current page ID is at any time. When I visit product 106, the debug code correctly shows 106, and the custom_bg field is displayed. And when I visit product 98 I see 98 in the debug code but no custom_bg field displays. What’s most perplexing is when I visit my Woocommerce Shop page, the debug code shows 98.

    Is this expected behaviour? Is the ID clash what’s stopping the custom_bg field from displaying?

    I’m going to add another product to see if it displays there…

  • Thanks @hube2, it was the second of those two that worked 🙂

  • @trouille2 I’m having this issue too, but I can’t get your fix to work. The field I want to call is being used a bit like a featured image, and it lives in the header file. I’ve made a new header called ‘header-shop.php’ and I’m calling this on my Woocommerce shop page. However it’s not pulling in the correct field.

    In your example above, how did you get the ‘MY-ARCHIVE-ID’? I know the page id, but not the archive id.

    Thanks

  • @hube2 The fields are located in a custom post type called “sidebars”, and you can pull in any one of these, so how do I get the ID of the sidebar that’s been chosen?

  • Thanks for the reply @hube2. I’m getting that value from a field in the backend that is a drop-down selector. This selects from a post type called ‘Sidebars’. The idea is that you can create any number of sidebars, add content into them, then add them onto any page from the drop-down. As I mentioned, this works 100% on any standard page outside of Woocommerce.

    In answer to your second question, the example I pasted above is in the generic sidebar.php file which is pulled into all page templates. It’s not wrapped in any kind of post loop.

    Thanks

  • Ah, I’ve sorted it!

    I only needed to add the posts page ID to the first call, like this:

    <?php $post_object = get_field('prospectus', 674);

if( $post_object ):

// override $post
$post = $post_object;
setup_postdata( $post );
?>
<div class="side-box side-prospectus">
	<img src="<?php the_field('image'); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>">

	<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
	<p><?php the_field('description'); ?></p>

	<?php
    $file = get_field('pdf_file');
	if( $file ): ?>
		<a href="<?php echo $file['url']; ?>" target="blank" class="button small button-icon-right button-icon-download"><?php _e('Download (PDF)','anglocontinental') ?></a>
	<?php endif; ?>
</div>

<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

  • Solved it. For anyone else wondering, this is how I did it:

    <?php 
$args = array(
	'numberposts' => -1,
	'post_type' => 'portfolio',
	'showposts' => 1,
	'orderby' => 'rand',
	'meta_query' => array(
		'relation' => 'AND',
		array(
			'key'     => 'client_quote',
			'value'   => '',
			'compare' => '!='
		)
	)
);
 
$client_quote = new WP_Query( $args );
?>

    That randomly picks one post from the Portfolio custom post type, as long as the client_quote custom field contains some text.
