I have an advanced custom fields field called job_type. It is a select type field so it has a number of values in the field like Contract, Freelance, Permanent etc. So I list all the jobs on a page and now I want to have exposed filters on the left where a user can choose to filter the jobs based on various fields. So for example if he chooses Freelance the page should (with ajax) show only the jobs that are of type 'Freelance'

How do I get the values from the field into a select list please?

If you mean an ACF select field:

<?php
$field = get_field_object('my_select');
var_dump( $field['choices'] );
?>

  • im assuming you updated the code above with the actual id of your field - instead of 'my_select' ?

  • Yes I named it to the name of the field as it is in the ACF field group. So not the name of the field group but the actual name of the field, job_type. <div class="jobTypeSelect"> <?php $field = get_field_object('job_type'); var_dump( $field['choices'] ); ?> </div>
