I have a small listing-type block on a website that displays editorial titles which when clicked I want a new browser to open and the resulting page display the external page related to the clicked title in a new browser window.

I created a ACF field called title_link and this was working. However, I have just stripped back the Custom Fields to make the UX more intuitive. It broke, I have played with the code, I know it’s simple but I have gone blank as to why.

<a href=<<? php get_field( 'title_link', $this->post->ID );?> target="_blank"><?php echo get_the_title( $this->post->ID );?></a>

All and any help received gratefully.

• Is that <<? php just a typo in the question? And the href value needs to be in quotes - href="value". – Sally CJ Commented Jul 25, 2019 at 22:49

Have solved it.

       <div><a target="_blank" href="<?php the_field('title_link', $this->post->ID); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php echo get_the_title( $this->post->ID );//$title; ?>"><?php echo get_the_title( $this->post->ID ); //$title; ?></a>   </div>
