Hi, thanks for the response but or I don’t understand it, or my case is a lit bit diverse that I’d describe for you.

I try to use

$value = get_field('field_name', $news->ID);

directly in the flexible content template tag but it doesn’t work. See it:

<div class="news-group">

    <?php

        if( have_rows('news_home_list') ): while ( have_rows('news_home_list') ) : the_row();

            if( get_row_layout() == 'news_home_list_plus' ):
                $news = get_sub_field('news_home_select');
                $title = get_the_title($news->ID);
                $abstract = get_field('news_abstract', $news->ID);
                ?>

                <div class="news">						
                    <strong><?php $title; ?></strong>
                    <p><?php $abstract; ?></p>						
                </div>
                    

            <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endwhile; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>		

</div>

I try to use setup_postdata() doc example but nothing, 🙁

<div class=”news-group”>

    <?php

        if( have_rows(‘news_home_list’) ): while ( have_rows(‘news_home_list’) ) : the_row();

            if( get_row_layout() == ‘news_home_list_plus’ ):
                $news = get_sub_field(‘news_home_select’);
                $featured_posts = get_field(‘news_home_select’);
                    if( $featured_posts ): ?>

                    <?php foreach( $featured_posts as $post ):

                        // Setup this post for WP functions (variable must be named $post).
                        setup_postdata($post); ?>
                            <div class=”news”>
                                <div class=”news-content”>
                                <a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a>
                                <span>A custom field from this post: <?php the_field( ‘news_abstract’ ); ?></span>
                            </div>
                    <?php endforeach; ?>

                    <?php
                    // Reset the global post object so that the rest of the page works correctly.
                    wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
                    </div>
                    <?php endif; ?>

            <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

</div>

I remember that my post object is into flexible content…
