Can't assign the value of the_field() to a variable

Question

I\'m using Advanced Custom Fields in Wordpress. I have a file path in a field (say \"submenu/abc.php\" in field \"ACFfield\"). I want to include that info on a webpage.

Answer 1

the_field(ACFfield); doesn't return anything. It just prints the filename out. Use get_field() instead, which will return the value.
