 * Hi all,
 * I’m struggling to retrieve values from my ACF custom fields in a new custom PHP
   pattern I’ve created for my theme. I have a custom field with the slug ‘test’,
   and I’m trying to retrieve it in the pattern’s code using a ‘get_field’ function.
 * I’ve been adding this pattern to a custom post type (made using CPT UI) called‘
   work’, and only a blank paragraph box has been showing.
 * Any ideas? I **don’t** have ACF Pro (if that’s required in this instance..)

 *     ```wp-block-code
       <?php/** * Title: Credits List * Slug: squeake/credits-list * Categories: text * Description: A credit list for a piece of work. */?><!-- wp:group {"align":"wide","layout":{"type":"constrained"}} --><div class="wp-block-group alignwide">    <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center","style":{"typography":{"lineHeight":"1"}},"fontSize":"max-23"} -->    <p>        <?php         $text = get_field('test');        echo $text;        ?>    </p>    <!-- /wp:paragraph --></div><!-- /wp:group -->
       ```

 * I recommend asking in the ACF plugin’s own support sub-forum so its authors and
   user community can assist you: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-custom-fields/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-custom-fields/)
 * Good luck!
