ACF Group field not displaying on the front end

Question

I have created a group field in ACF to display on posts, pages and custom post type. Please see below screenshots.

And here's the code I'm trying for front-end.

 <?php $footerCTA = get_field('footer_cta');
 echo $footerCTA['title']; ?>

The code above doesn't output anything on the front-end. Am I missing here something?

Thanks.

try this:

if( have_rows('footer_cta') ):

while( have_rows('footer_cta') ) : the_row(); 

    ?>
    <p><?php the_sub_field('title'); ?></p>
    <?php

endwhile;

endif;

?>

did you add them in your WordPress Post/Page loop? for display custom fields in the page, you should add the_field() function inside the wp loop so for displaying subfield you should do the same. (add this loop in your main wordpress post/page loop). – Khalil DaNish Aug 16 '18 at 05:34
what about the location/rules did you set the correctly? – Khalil DaNish Aug 16 '18 at 07:22

Try using.

 echo the_field('footer_cta');

Other Way.

You can do this by adding a second parameter to the get_field or the_field functions. This second parameter will contain the correct ID which can be found using get_option('page_for_posts') like so

<h1><?php the_field('footer_cta', get_option('page_for_posts')); ?></h1>

    <div id="primary" class="content-area">
        <div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">
        <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

            <?php /* The loop */ ?>
            <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
                <?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
            <?php endwhile; ?>



        <?php else : ?>
            <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'none' ); ?>
        <?php endif; ?>

        </div><!-- #content -->
    </div><!-- #primary -->
