[Plugin: Advanced Custom Fields] Custom fields not showing

Perhaps the global $post object is not yet instantiated. Try running the_post(); right after the_header();

If that does not work, make sure your field names are correct.
Also, you can try setting a second parameter of the post_id

This arrangement of code seems to work if it helps?

<?php

/**

 * Template Name: Cotswolds Weddings

 *

 */

get_header(); ?>

<div id="page" class="hfeed">
	<div id="main">

			<div id="quote-other">
		<div class="title-front">WEDDING FLORISTS IN THE COTSWOLDS</div>
		<div class="text"><?php the_field('bottom_quote'); ?></div>

			</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #primary -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Note -I’ve moved the following code from the end of the page to before the category filters. So I suspect there’s a conflict. Any idea how to resolve this?

<div id="quote-other">
		<div class="title-front">WEDDING FLORISTS IN THE COTSWOLDS</div>
		<div class="text"><?php the_field('bottom_quote'); ?></div>
		</div>

it is definitely – it’s this code which is conflicting with the other code. any ideas?

<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=Weddings&showposts=5'); ?>
		<?php $count = 0; ?>
		<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
		<?php $count++; ?>

		<ul id="meet_the_florists">
		<li>
		<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array('class' => 'weddings_thumb')); ?>
			<div style="float:left; top:0px; width:250px;">
				<span class="weddings-title"><?php the_title(); ?></span>
				<div style="clear:both;"></div>
				<span class="hotel-name"><?php the_field('hotel_name'); ?>
				<div style="clear:both;"></div>
				<?php the_field('hotel_location'); ?></span>
			</div>
			<div style="top:0px; float:right;">
			<p class="wedding-season"><?php the_field('wedding_season'); ?>&nbsp;Wedding</p>
			</div>	

			<div style="clear:both;"></div>
			<span class="wedding-summary"><?php the_content(); ?></span>
			<div style="clear:both;"></div>

			<div style="float:left; width:50%;">
			<span class="photographer-name">Photographer | <?php the_field('photographer_name'); ?>
			<br><a href="https://<?php the_field('photographer_web_link'); ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_field('photographer_web_link'); ?></a></span>
			</div>

			<div style="float:right;">
			<span class="photographer-name">Hair and Makeup | <?php the_field('hair_makeup_name'); ?>
			<br><a href="https://<?php the_field('hair_makup_web_address'); ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_field('hair_makup_web_address'); ?></a></span>
			</div>			

		</li>
		</ul>
		<?php endwhile; ?>

Another thought – what “appears” on the page seems to differ depending on the value of the amount of posts shown from a category. For example:

<?php $my_query = new WP_Query(‘category_name=Weddings&posts_per_page=10’); ?>

If I change that from 10 to 2 – the bottom quote shows. If I change it to >2 it doesn’t show. Yet the fields on the right – if I remove them it shows the bottom quote. If they’re on the page, the quote dissapears.

Anyone? ( ?? )

Hi,

Maybe you should try and send in smaller snippets of code.
Or give an online example.

Basically if you add a the_field('bottom_quote') function on your page it should echo out the current pages’ “bottom_quote” field.

If you’re not in a WP loop you have to explicitly point to the post you want to get the field from of using an ID:

<?php the_field( 'bottom_quote', $post->ID );

Also note that $post should either be global or in a foreach loop.
