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 !
GrégoireHey Gregoire,
The formula you are looking for is
get_field("your_key", "widget_$widget_id" );where$widget_idis the unique instance of the widget. This can be difficult to grab dynamically though.I would look into the global
$wp_registered_sidebarsto 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 thewp_optionstable 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.
