While using the Custom Fields Plugin, I cannot get it to return any data.
I have created a field group called book_cover_thumbnail
which has one post linked to it. Can anyone see why the code below would not work?
<img src="<?php get_field('book_cover_thumbnail');?>" />
I get no errors at all, no white space.
Make sure you are a) Echoing the field using either
the_field()
orecho get_field()
, and b) this code is either within the wordpress loop like this:Or you add the post id to the
get_field()
function as a parameter:Documentation:

Change get_field to the_field. Get field returns the value but doesn’t echo it.
Alternatively, put an echo in front of the get field.
Little bit late but also important nevertheless:
You can change the “Return Format” in Custom Fields -> Field Groups -> Return Format
You have the choice between value/label and both(array)
Maybe that could help you in this case
