Reply To: Query Custom Posts in Page template breaks Custom Fields

I was 5 minutes to early to post the question above as I’ve found the solutions after looking into WordPress Manual.

Seems that if you call another post_type (in my case vacancies) with new WP_Query, WordPress is opening that (lexical) post_type environment. This means that most functions like ACF’s the_field() will try to look inside the custom post type “Vacancies” if the custom field “vacancy-section-2-title” exists. Obvious it’s not so i need to “Reset the Query” back to the original one.

The solution is putting this function wp_reset_query() at the end of the custom posts loop.

<?php
  $args = array( 'post_type' => 'Vacancies');
  $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
  while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
    get_template_part( 'template-parts/vacancies', get_post_format() );
  endwhile;
  wp_reset_query()
?>

Hope it helps other people in the future!
