I have created a custom field with Advanced Custom Fields for my posts. My variable is set product_image, so I can print it with:

<?php the_field('product_image'); ?>

But I need to print it in my site-header section, within header.php, only for single posts.

<?php if( is_single('post') ) { ?>
    <img src="<?php the_field('product_image'); ?>">
<?php } else { ?>
    <a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">
        <img src="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>/logo.png">
    </a>
<?php } ?>

And it doesn't work.

You can pass the post id as the 2nd argument on the_field.

global $post;
the_field('product_image', $post->ID);

or

the_field('product_image', get_the_ID());
