i know this is an older post but I can’t seem to get this worked out.
I have a custom post type “event” that has a repeater field in it. One of the repeater sub fields is a relational post object field to another custom post type that i need pull data from a custom field.

So here is what i have. Event has a field called event_session which is a repeater field. One of the sub-fields is called “session_speaker” it is a post object that is connected to my speaker custom postype.

When someone creates a row from the repeater field in my event page they will choose a speaker. On the front end i want to pull that speakers company name and twitter link (both custom fields).

Here is what i tried:

<?php

    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'event'
    );

    $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>

<!-- WP_Query WordPress loop -->
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

    <?php if(get_field('event_session')): ?>
        <?php while(has_sub_field('event_session')): ?>
                <strong><?php the_sub_field('session_start'); ?>  </strong><?php the_sub_field('session_title'); ?><br>
<?php
$speakers = get_sub_field("session_speaker");
if ($speakers && count($speakers)>0)
{
    foreach ($speakers as $speaker)
    {
        echo $speaker->ID; //$speaker is a post object//
    }        
}
?>	

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

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

    <!-- Displayed if no posts or pages are available -->
    <p>There are no posts or pages here!</p>

<?php endif; ?>

This shows nothing, but if i change the echo $speaker->ID to just echo $speaker, the array data does show up.

I tried from above as well:

<?php

    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'event'
    );

    $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>

<!-- WP_Query WordPress loop -->
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

    <?php if(get_field('event_session')): ?>
        <?php while(has_sub_field('event_session')): ?>
                <strong><?php the_sub_field('session_start'); ?>  </strong><?php the_sub_field('session_title'); ?><br>

<?php	$postObjects = get_sub_field('session_speaker');

if($postObjects){
foreach($postObjects as $post){
setup_postdata($post);
the_title();
}
wp_reset_postdata();
}?>
	
	<?php echo $postObject->$post_title; ?>

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

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

    <!-- Displayed if no posts or pages are available -->
    <p>There are no posts or pages here!</p>

<?php endif; ?>	

This shows the speaker title but even though I have 4 rows in my repeater field it will only show the first one.
