Thanks, worked. looking for the next stable update. Great plugin btw.

I’ve created a custom page template (page-custom.php)

<?php
/*
Template Name: Custom Page Template
*/

get_header();

$id = get_the_ID();

//print_r($id);

$fields = get_fields($id);

print_r($fields);

get_footer();
?>

In ACF I’ve two custom field groups.

In “Custom Fields” Group, I’ve a text field called “Location”.
In “General” Group, I’ve a galerie 4 field called “Photo Gallery”.

In Location, My input text is “India”.
When I add images to Gallery field. I get both Location and Photo Gallery fields using get_fields() function. If there’s no image, I don’t get anything. Atleast, I should get the location field.

The problem is that there’s no error message, which makes it difficult to troubleshoot. If there are no images in the gallery, the entire get_fields() function stops working. I can’t simply skip the gallery field because get_fields() doesn’t return anything in that case. Ideally, it should at least return null so that I can detect the missing gallery field and handle it.

How did I check this? By using WordPress’s default meta fields function, which returned the expected result.

[my_field_key]=> Array
(
[0] => a:0:{}
