the_field() function shows the value and it doesn’t get/return anything. Like the_title() and other template tags starting with the_. It means that: This line prints the value and $hero variable is empty. $hero = the_field(‘hero_title’); This line prints only <h1> tags. echo ‘<h1>’.$hero.'</h1>’; What you want is: echo ‘<h1>’ . get_field(‘hero_title’) . ‘</h1>’;
It’s because you have forgot to use $atts[‘post_id’] please find below code. function acf_featured_item_shortcode( $atts ) { // Attributes $atts = shortcode_atts( array( ‘post_id’ => ”, ), $atts ); $post_id = $atts[‘post_id’]; $image = get_field(‘featured_item’, $post_id ); $size=”medium”; // (thumbnail, medium, large, full or custom size) if( $image ) { $output = wp_get_attachment_image( $image, $size, … Read more
It’s not a hack, this is what databases are designed for- querying large quantities of data. If you’re concerned about load, you should employ caching on data that doesn’t change frequently. That said, you should not be using query_posts to create additional queries. Really, you shouldn’t be using query_posts at all. Create additional queries via … Read more

You can do this instead of using update_field(): update_post_meta($post_id, ‘fieldname’, $value); update_post_meta($post_id, ‘_fieldname’, ‘field_’ . uniqid()); // `uniqid() is a native PHP function. This is also how ACF creates the field keys Also, depending where you are retrieving the value, you may also have to pass the post id. the_field(‘fieldname’, $post_id);
There is an error in your echo. You are trying to echo a php opening tag. change your function to: function insert_acf() { echo “<p><div id=’content-creator’>Test</div></p><p>” . get_field(‘organisation_name’) . “</p>”; }; This will solve your first problem.
