work.php not displaying projects

The work.php file will not display the flexslider images locally. Not sure why, tried viewing source and couldn't see any of the markup but if I put in a random <p>Test</p> it shows. Replaced my code with the provided project code and still won't render (should I be saying 'parse'?)

When you say flexslider images, do you actually have a JS flexslider on your work.php page (not the case in the project files) or just trying to display the slider image (custom field).

If you just paste <?php the_field ('homepage_slider_image'); ?> within the loop in work.php, do you get anything?

Also the custom field will only work if the loop argument has been set to use 'post_type' => 'work' (or whatever you named your CPT).
