Question

I have the following code:

<?php if(the_field('required_libraries') ) { echo 'Title' . $required_libraries; } ?>

The field does exist and it displays correctly. However, the ‘Title’ text does not.

This works for me where there aren’t any variables, so I don’t quite understand why it isn’t working here.

Answer 1

I’m not sure I understand your question. You might need to use isset in your if statement.

<?php

    if (isset($required_libraries)) {
        echo 'Title' . $required_libraries;
    }

?>

Can you post what your “the_field” function does?

Update

Per the documentation you provided, it looks like you should use get_field() in the if statement (not the_field()).

<?php

    if(get_field('required_libraries')) {
        echo 'Title ' . get_field('required_libraries');
    }

?>

It looks like the_field() echos the field value, so you could also do this:

<?php

    if(get_field('required_libraries')) {
        echo 'Title ';
        the_field('required_libraries');
    }

?>
