Accessing custom fields from Advanced Custom Fields plugin
Hi Guys
I have added Advanced Custom Fields plugin to my site and I want to include the fields in the page content particle.
I have looked at content-page.html.twig and want to render below this:
{# Begin Page Content #}
{{ post.content }}
The function I usually use from Advanced Custom Fields plugin in my other themes is:
the_field('custom_field_name')
but I get an error saying:
The function "the_field" does not exist in "partials/content-page.html.twig"
How do I add a reference to the the_field function so that I can use it in partials/content-page.html.twig ?
Here's a link to Advanced Custom Fields below. As I say, I use it no prob in other themes, but not sure how to reference it in Twig. All new to me.

Ps, can you show me documentation so that I can debug Gantry code/templates?
Thanks again

It would be helpful to others who view this to know how you solved it. I'm working on this myself now and I suspect that since I can manually enter a custom field from the post admin page and then use it the same as {{post.title}} as in {{ post.mycustomfield}} this seems to work fine so I imagine that the plugin version of this is the same since all the plugin does is make the set up of the custom field easier. The plugin still creates a custom field as if you manually made it in the admin page.
So in summary if {{post.title}} outputs "My Title" then {{post.mycustomfield}} outputs "My Test Custom Field" - Last Edit: 8 years 10 months ago by RZN8 Media.
