I have a website with the custom post type sammenligne, along with some custom fields made using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF). I have modified an archive site (archive-sammenligne.php) which displays the data the way I want it, however when I try to extract the data using a WP query on a page, I get no output. If I use the standard WordPress titles, I get output. I assume there is something with the link to the custom fields; but they work on the archive page.

I need to run the query on a WordPress page, not an archive, as I would like to have post content above the loop. The code below is saved as a page template.

I run Genesis Metro Pro and WordPress.

Thanks in advance.

<?php
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );
function sk_display_custom_fields() {
/*Custom fields/*
    $navn = get_field( 'navn' );
    $type = get_field( 'type' );
    $fordeler = get_field( 'fordeler' );
/*Wordpress loop*/
    $arg = array(
            'post_type' => 'sammenligne',
            'posts_per_page' => 10,
            'order' => 'DESC',
            'post_status' => 'publish'
            );
    $query = new WP_Query($arg);
    if ( $query->have_posts() ) : 
        while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); 
            echo '<h2>' . $navn . '</h2>';
        endwhile;
    endif;
    wp_reset_query(); 
}
add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'sk_display_custom_fields' );

    genesis();

Edit ://

try this:

<?php
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );
function sk_display_custom_fields() {
/*Wordpress loop*/
    global $wp_query;
    query_posts(array(
    'post_type' => 'sammenligne'
    ));

    while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
$navn = get_field( 'navn' );
$type = get_field( 'type' );
echo '<p>',$navn , '__', '$type','</p>');
    endwhile;
    wp_reset_query();
}
add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'sk_display_custom_fields' );

genesis();

UPDATE://

Ok I tested ACF's now. With the following code you can target custom fields of posts from a custom post type without being on an archive site!

<?php

    // create custom loop to query the custom posttype
    $arg = array(
    'post_type' => 'sammenligne',
    'posts_per_page' => 10,
    'order' => 'DESC',
    'post_status' => 'publish'
    );

    $query = new WP_Query($arg);

// then start the query 
if ( $query->have_posts() ) :
    while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
            // now go get the fields you want ! 
            $field1 = get_field('test1');
            // output the fields in the format you want
            echo $field1;
    endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query(); // reset query

yes it does work on my other site archive-sammenligne.php, which is the archive file for the slug sammenligne.

This is the output from Advanced Custom Fields. I've removed the other fields (I have abut 20).
