    Hi
    I want to know the best way to get AFC widget values outside the widget template.
    For eg in function.php to use some wp_head hook if a value is available.
    Thanks !

    Hey Gregoire,

    The formula you are looking for is get_field("your_key", "widget_$widget_id" ); where $widget_id is the unique instance of the widget. This can be difficult to grab dynamically though.

    I would look into the global $wp_registered_sidebars to see if that contains instances of the widget that you are looking for. I do know for a fact that sidebar data is stored in the wp_options table so you may be able to query that directly to get the unique instantiated widget ID as well.

    Ah yes, here is is.

    $sidebars_widgets = get_option('sidebars_widgets');

    will get you an associative array for each sidebar and the widgets that have been added to that sidebar. The unique id you are looking for will look something like `my_widget_name-43′ most likely. 43 being representative of the 43rd instance of that widget over your site’s life.
