Outputting posts turned out to be not so simple, especially from a specific category selected by the editor in a custom field. Spent about 2 hours to pull out what I need in the form I wanted:
<?php $catid = get_field(‘proizvolnoe_pole’, $term); ?>
<?php $posts = get_posts (“category=$catid&orderby=date&numberposts=10”); ?>
<?php if ($posts) : ?> <?php foreach ($posts as $post) : setup_postdata ($post); ?>
<a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?>
$catid – variable in which we save the custom field value.
get_field – function returning field value.
proizvolnoe_pole – custom field name.
category=$catid – pass variable $catid to output posts from specified category.
orderby=date – sort order by date.
numberposts=10 – limit output to max 10 posts.
