custom field display in layout
5 replies · Started by Ignacio on May 10, 2019
Hi, I created a cpt to add new information. For the entries of this new cpt I have created a custom field, a gallery.
I've created a layout for this cpt but I can't get the custom field to be displayed.
I have tried
<h1>
{{post_title}}
</h1>
<br>
{{custom_field.galeria}}
or
<?php the_field('galeria'): ?>

Hi there,
how have you created the Custom Field Galeria?
And is this being added to the GP Header Element?
Hi David
I created the cpt by adding a snippet, and the custom field with Elliot Condon's ACF pro plugin.

Yes, I have created a new header in GP, put only for the pages of that CPT

Hi there,
This should do it:
{{custom_field.galeria}}
However, that assumes that galeria is the name of the custom field. I'm not sure if ACF prefixes their custom fields with anything?
Yes, I tested that because I thought it would work, but it wouldn't. If I put that, it shows me only the word Array
Regards
Ah, so it returns an array of data instead of a string.
You might need to create a shortcode to output it:
add_shortcode( 'galeria', function() {
$galeria = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'galeria', true );
if ( $galeria ) {
foreach ( (array) $galeria as $item ) {
echo $item;
}
}
} );Then you could use the [galeria] shortcode.
