No content shows after custom post type query within flexible content fields

  I am using flexible content fields to create a sidebar of sorts on my site. In one of my fields, I have a query that loops through a custom post type category and shows an image from the most recent post. This all works fine as I have the correct content showing. The problem is, no flexible content fields I create will show on my page after the field with the post loop. I thought the loop was going forever, but I have a button that appears after the loop and is in the same flexible content field that is working correctly. My footer is showing perfectly as well and there isn’t an endless loop or anything. I am at a loss as to what is happening. Its almost like the if statement for the flexible content field that has the custom post loop never ends and doesn’t allow any other flexible content field to be shown after.

  The name of the flexible content field is Subscribe. Within this field, I have a custom post type loop that shows the most recent post and displays an image from that post.

  I’ve also tried this with a standard query through normal posts and I have the same issue. So it doesn’t appear to be a problem with my custom post type loop.

  Hi @billcommexis

  Could you please provide the post ID to the have_rows() function like the following?

  have_rows('sidebar_content', 99)

  And:

  have_rows('printed_page_content', 99)

  Where ’99’ is the post/page ID where the custom fields are located (you can dynamically get the ID if you want).

  If that doesn’t work, could you please try to debug the ‘printed_page_content’ field like bellow?

  var_dump( get_field('printed_page_content', 99) );

  Thanks 🙂

  Setting the post id in the flexible content fields totally worked. Thank you so much for the help. I was going crazy yesterday trying to figure out why it wasn’t working. Thanks again!
