Found the issue. I was trying to call WP posts in a <?php elseif( get_row_layout() == 'featured_news' ): ?>
<?php
$tags = get_sub_field('tags');
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'tag' => $tags,
'posts_per_page' => 5,
);
$arr_posts = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $arr_posts->have_posts() ) :
while ( $arr_posts->have_posts() ) :
$arr_posts->the_post();
?>
...output
<?php
endwhile;
endif;
?>
but needed to have wp_reset_postdata(); at the bottom like:
<?php
$tags = get_sub_field('tags');
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'tag' => $tags,
'posts_per_page' => 5,
);
$arr_posts = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $arr_posts->have_posts() ) :
while ( $arr_posts->have_posts() ) :
$arr_posts->the_post();
?>
...output
<?php
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata(); <=NEEDED THIS
endif;
?>
May help someone else
