ACF Field in Footer Template

How To
1

Hi, I’m going crazy with this so maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

I have an acf field that I link to my footer template that contains a simple string.
When I load it into a basic text element in the editor it shows up as expected but on the frontend it just wont load.

Is there something special about the footer/header templates that prevents my that field from loading on the frontend?

When I add a custom field to a section template it works as expected. I can select my field {acf_field_name} and the value is shown in the editor AND the frontend.

This is driving me nuts. I’d really appreciate any help here.
Thanks!

I am by no means an expert, so bear with me.

Check your settings.
There’s a setting that disallows custom fields to show. There is even be one in the performance area that disallows previews, but not sure that’s what’s messing you up.

You have to turn them on for display as well as bricks getting access to the ACF/SCF fields in the first place. It could also be a permissions issue if you using credentials that are not super admin (this is especially tricky with multi-site.) If you know you are super admin then disregard the last part.

I hope this helps.
