 * Hi,
 * In my current theme, ACF is showing a button with a link to an external page.
   Now I am trying out this new theme and I can’t get the button to work.
 * I placed this in the single.php of the new theme:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <?php if ( get_field( 'show_external_link_button' ) == 1 ) : ?>
       	<?php // echo 'true'; ?>
       <?php else : ?>
       	<?php // echo 'false'; ?>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * And I added the export php code to my functions.php file.
 * In my post costumizer I see the fields and the URL’s, so that part works. Does
   anybody know what I am doing wrong here?
 * Thanks for your reply.
 * Lisa
