Save custom field value to variable for conditional – why is this not working? [closed]

So as described in the docs, the get_field function will try to get the post id that your field is associated. If he can’t it will return nothing, so you have to pass the post id yourself, like the example below that I got in the docs:

$post_id = false; // current post
$post_id = 1; // post ID = 1
$post_id = "user_2"; // user ID = 2
$post_id = "category_3"; // category term ID = 3
$post_id = "event_4"; // event (custom taxonomy) term ID = 4
$post_id = "option"; // options page
$post_id = "options"; // same as above

$value = get_field( 'my_field', $post_id );
