Custom fields not displaying

  • I’ve installed the ACF plugin and created an field group with two fields: one text field and one image field. I’ve named the fields ad_1 and ad_2 respectively and used <?php the_field(‘ad_1’); ?> and <?php the_field(‘ad_2’); ?> within header.php (after the opening body tag) to display the fields, yet none of the fields display. I also tried it in single.php, nothing.

    I noticed in the Getting started page, it says “Once you have created a field group and saved field data to a $post object, you will need to use PHP code to display that data in your theme.”

    What does “saved field data to a $post_object” mean? Am I missing a step here? Also, am I limited in where I can use the_field? Does it have to be in the loop or can it be anywhere in the body tag?

    I’m going nuts trying to figure this out. Appreciate and help!

  • First copy and past this code in your function.php file 

    add_action ('init', 'create_post_type');
function create_post_type() {

register_post_type('slider_images',
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __('Slider Images'),
'singular_name' => __('Slider Image')
),
'public' => true,
'has_rewrite' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'slider_images'),
'supports' => array('title')
)

);
}

    Then when you whant to display past this code 

    <?php
			$args = array(
               'post_type'=>'slider_images',
               'order'=> 'ASC',
            );
            $i = 1;
			global $more;
			query_posts( $args );
			while (have_posts()) : the_post();
			$more = 0;
			?>

<li><img src="<?php echo get_field('image'); ?>"></li>
                <? endwhile;wp_reset_query();?>
