 * I use **the_field(‘select_field’);**. It seems only return value. How do I get
   label instead of value?
    Thanks

 * never mind, I figured out:
 * $field = get_field_object(‘select_field’);
    $value = get_field(‘select_field’);
   $label = $field[‘choices’][ $value ];
 * in short:
 * <?php echo get_field_object(‘select_field’)[‘choices’][ get_field(‘select_field’)];?

   choices] field? for me is not working with “choices” value
