Problems displaying ACF

    I’m just stupid or but I can’t display ACF

    in my content-single.php (yes it is the right file I’ve already altered it a few times…) I entered this code:

    <?php 
    if(is_category('bokrecensioner'))
    {
        echo '<div style="padding: 15px; border: #000 dotted;">' . '<h4 style="text-align: center;">' . 'Bokfakta' . '</h4>'  . '<br>' .  '<p>' . acf_get_fields('group_69c7ce7cf28f7') . '</p>' . '</div>';
    }
    	elseif(is_category('biorecensioner'))
    {
        echo '<div style="padding: 15px; border: #000 dotted;">' . '<h4 style="text-align: center;">' . 'Filmfakta' . '</h4>'  . '<br>' .  '<p>' . acf_get_fields('group_690cc62871539') . '</p>' . '</div>';
    }
    	elseif(is_category('teater-och-showrecensioner'))
    {
        echo '<div style="padding: 15px; border: #000 dotted;">' . '<h4 style="text-align: center;">' . 'Showfakta' . '</h4>'  . '<br>' .  '<p>' . acf_get_fields('group_6a185df8e8409') . '</p>' . '</div>';
    }
    	elseif(is_category('streamingrecensioner'))
    {
        echo '<div style="padding: 15px; border: #000 dotted;">' . '<h4 style="text-align: center;">' . 'Streamingfakta' . '</h4>'  . '<br>' .  '<p>' . acf_get_fields('group_69d41ebee596d') . '</p>' . '</div>';
    }
    	elseif(is_category('dvdbd-recensioner'))
    {
        echo '<div style="padding: 15px; border: #000 dotted;">' . '<h4 style="text-align: center;">' . 'Videofakta' . '</h4>'  . '<br>' .  '<p>' . acf_get_fields('group_69c7dc06b14a7') . '</p>' . '</div>';
    }
    ?>

    but it doesn’t work
    I know I did something wrong but can’t figure it out…
    What I would like is to display different field group depending on which category the specific post belongs to

    The function is_category() “Determines whether the query is for an existing category archive page”, while content-single.php seems like a template for single posts, so the code will have no effect.

    Change is_category() to in_category(), which checks if the current post is within any of the given categories, and it should work.

    solved it partly (thank you @galbaras) – now the style and h4 is diplayed but not the field
    Tried to change the

    acf_get_fields('group_690cc62871539')

    to get_field(‘group_690cc62871539’)
    Didn’t help
    But one step in the right direction

    As you can see in the documentation, acf_get_fields() returns an array of objects. You must then loop over that array and construct a string from it. The same is true for get_fields() (see here).
