Template Usage

To display the Range field in your template, use the field name you provided.

<?php block_field( 'age' ); ?>

The API will return an integer and echo a string.

Example template file /blocks/block-block-lab-example.php

<?php 
// Block Lab Example Block
?>

<h3>How old is this pet?</h3>
<p><?php block_field( 'age' ); ?></p> 

To use the block with the Range field on your site, locate it in the blocks menu.
