I have a Custom Post Type called 'fotos' with a couple ACF fields connected to it.

Inside the while loop in my homepage i'm retrieving the most recent posts from this CPT. I want to show an ACF field called 'clients' for each of these posts. the $photo->ID is correctly returning the ID of the CPT post.

<?php

if (have_posts()) :

    while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<!-- ... -->

  <?php

    $recent_photos = wp_get_recent_posts(array(

        'numberposts' => '8',

        'post_type' => 'fotos',

        'post_status' => 'publish',

    ));

    if ($recent_photos):

        ?>



            <?php foreach ($recent_photos as $photo): ?>

                <div class="item-grid--item">

                    <?php the_field('client', $photo->ID); ?>

                </div>

            <?php endforeach; ?>



<?php endif; ?>

<!-- ... -->

    <?php endwhile;

else:

    _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.', 'textdomain');

endif;

?>

However, the_field, get_field, the_sub_field or get_sub_field return absolutely nothing. What could it possibly be? I checked everything and it's all correct!

My Answer:
It looks like you are not passing the correct post ID to the ACF functions. Instead of using `$photo->ID`, you should use `$photo['ID']` in your code.

Here is the updated code snippet:

php
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

$recent_photos = wp_get_recent_posts(array(
'numberposts' => '8',
'post_type' => 'fotos',
'post_status' => 'publish',
));
if ($recent_photos):
?>

else:
_e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.', 'textdomain');
endif;
?>


By making this change, you should now be able to retrieve the ACF field values for each post in your Custom Post Type 'fotos'.
