Thanks for the reply John. I can understand the infinite loop, but I don’t quite understand where or which filter this is ? AFAIK I have no filter for that field.

I retrieve the value in a function and call that function within pre_get_posts and on other places.

function sd_exclude_dummy() {

    // $hide_dummy    = 1; // 0 for all, 1 show for admins
    $hide_dummy    = get_field( 'sd_hide_dummy_profile', 'option' ); // creates issues
    $dummy_profile = get_field( 'sd_dummy_profile', 'option' );

    $exclude = array();
    if ( false != $dummy_profile ) {
        // a dummy post is 'set'
        if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
            // non-admin, so always exclude it
            $exclude[] = $dummy_profile;
        } else {
            if ( $hide_dummy == 0 ) {
                $exclude[] = $dummy_profile;
            }
        }
    }

    return $exclude;

}
