Improve this questionI've been looking everywhere and still don't understand how to display the information from some of the Custom Post Types on my site (took over the site for a new client).
The previous developer had set up some Custom Fields such as thumb_title and resource_url below:
'fields' => array(
// Thumbnail Title
array(
'name' => esc_html__( 'Thumbnail Title', 'textdomain' ),
'id' => "{$prefix}thumb_title",
'type' => 'text',
'desc' => 'i.e. Project Management',
),
// Resource URL
array(
'name' => esc_html__( 'Link to Resource', 'textdomain' ),
'id' => "{$prefix}resource_url",
'type' => 'text',
'desc' => 'Enter the resource URL, i.e. <b>/resource/project-management</b>',
),
),
I can display the usual the_title and the_content just fine, it's these other fields that I just can't display and it's driving me insane.
Here is what I have for the page:
<?php
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'resources_cta', 'posts_per_page' => 10 );
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
$thumb_title = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'thumb_title', true );
?>
<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php
// Read somewhere that this needed to be in the loop so also tried it here
//$meta = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'thumb_title', true );
?>
<div class="carousel-item <?php if( $the_query->current_post == 0 ):?>active<?php endif; ?>">
<div class="resourcesLeft">
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="resourcesRight">
<div class="little-book">the little book of</div>
<div class="thumb-title"><?php echo $meta; ?></div> <?php //print_r($key); die(); ?>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/library/images/logo-full_white.svg" alt="" class="logo">
<a href="<?php the_field('resource_url'); ?>" class="resource-cta-link">FIND OUT MORE</a>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
I need to sort this out in the next couple of days, so any help would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

It looks like you want to get the value from ACF? If so, you can use get_field:
$thumb_title = get_field( 'thumb_title', get_the_ID();
But wait: that won't work because of this:
'id' => "{$prefix}thumb_title",
The {$prefix} part is defined somewhere in that file, and it's creating a full field name. You'll need to include that in your calls to get_field:
// In your file adding fields somewhere:
$prefux = 'myprefix_';
// In your template:
$thumb_title = get_field( 'myprefix_thumb_title', get_the_ID() );
It might be helpful to show us the line where $prefix gets defined in your first block. Also, if these are just regular WordPress meta fields, you would just need to do something like this instead:
$thumb_title = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'myprefix_thumb_title', true );
the_field()is specific to ACF, not core fields, so if you're not using ACF then you need to use something likeecho get_post_meta()instead. – WebElaine Commented Feb 4, 2019 at 21:36$prefixset to? – czerspalace Commented Feb 4, 2019 at 21:54
