Wordpress, Timber, print field from WCK custom field in Twig template

Question

I've created custom fields for a custom post-type using WCK plugin for the fields, and want to get the fields into my Timber Twig template. (I know Timber recommends ACF for this, but am trying WCK first, as this is for a non-profit website and WCK offers things in their free plugin version which ACF doesn't). Here is the relevant line of the php file:

$context['home_page_content'] = Timber::get_posts('post_type=vopthomepage');

and in my twig template I printed:

{{ dump(home_page_content) }}

The relevant parts (I think?) which I get are:

public 'object_type' => string 'post' (length=4)
public 'post_type' => string 'vopthomepage' (length=12)
public 'are_you' => // this is the field group
public 'question_1' => string 'New to the area, looking for a church to join?' (length=46) // this is the field

So to get the field I tried {{ post.question_1 }} , no joy, so then tried {{ post.get_field('question_1') }} I also tried following the advice for ACF with {{ post.meta('are_you').question_1 }} but none of these prints anything on the page.

Here's the full dump:

Could you add the full output of {{ dump(home_page_content) }}? — Henrik Erstad

Your content is in home_page_content which is an array of Timber\Post objects. To get the content you have to loop through them like so:

{% for post in home_page_content  %}
  {{ post.question_1 }}
{% endfor %}

Alternatively, if you want just the data from a single, specific element in the array you can do something like

{{ home_page_content[0].question_1 }}

where the number, in this case 0, refers to which element you want.
