I'm using the Advance Custom Fields plugin in my WordPress website. I have created a template page and set it for home page. In ACF plugin I created a new Field Group called Travel Form and in it a field called locations. please check below screenshot

In my template I'm calling it by name locations throught ACF function but I'm not able to fetch it.

this is my code

 <?php
    /*
  Template Name: Home Page
  */
  $field = get_field_object('locations');
  print_r($field); die;
 ?>

Where is my mistake? Please tell me. I'm not able to get all locations.

• 1 If you want to get the selected value for the locations field the correct function is just get_field( 'locations' ); not get_field_object(). – Jacob Peattie Commented Jan 11, 2019 at 14:08
• 1 Can you explain whether you're wanting to display the select field with all the options, so the user can choose on the homepage itself - or whether you are setting the value in wp-admin and just want to display the selected value on the homepage? – WebElaine Commented Jan 11, 2019 at 14:42

You are trying to use get_field_object, which isn't correct.

What you should be using is get_field() or the_field().

Example get_field():

$value = get_field( "locations" );

if( $value ) {
    echo $value;
} else {
    echo 'empty';
}

Example the_field():

<p><?php the_field('locations'); ?></p>

Note: ACF has great documentation, you should look it over.
