| Paramenter | Details |
|---|---|
| $field_name | the name of the field to be retrieved. eg “page_content” (required) |
| $post_id | Specific post ID where your value was entered. Defaults to current post ID (not required). This can also be options / taxonomies / users / etc |
| ## Remarks# | |
Use get_field() when assigning field values to variables, or when manipulating the returned content in your code. the_field() is the same as echo get_field($field_name); |

| ## Check if field exists |
<?php if( get_field('text_field') ): ?>
<?php the_field('text_field'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>Here we use get_field() to determine if a value exists, and the_field() to echo it.
