Hi I am having trouble getting any data other than the example fields to display in my search results

I would like to display product price, product attributes etc. on my custom results.php page.
I have previously done this using ACF eg. the_field(fieldname), but i çant find the syntax/ field names to reference for woocommerce.

All my HTML is working, im just note sure what i should be referencing to return product specific data in the results.

Full disclaimer – not a PHP person

‘thank you

You would need to use this function I think to get and display the data in the custom fields:

Hi there,

When i got the custom fields (ACF) to display on a previous project i did not need to use get_post_meta i thought that was what your plugin does! all i used was <?php the_field(fieldname); ?>

I am already returning some of the post data eg: <?php the_title(); ?> – i just need to get more of the data from the post in the search results. your reply doesn’t really clarify my issue.

Any further suggestions?

I had not realised you were using ACF this time round. You are correct, the_field() is one method you can use. Sometimes it also needs the post ID in there as the second argument. Maybe

<?php echo the_field('fieldname',get_the_ID());?>

Note, for ACF, the fieldname never starts with an underscore.

Sorry…we are not communicating very well here!

I am not using ACF this time around. I was using this as an example of the code snippet i used to display the post data.

This time i am using woocommerce products. I can get generic post info to display (ID, post name etc) but not Woocommerce specific data. Such as the price.

Is there a syntax that is specific to woocommerce i am overlooking here?

echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_regular_price', true );

Great to speak with you. That code seems to have sorted it.
