Reply To: Post_object inside loop

So, here’s you problem.

You have a main WP query, and this loops over the posts.

Then you have your secondary query

$your_posts = new WP_Query( $args );

// Loop starts here
if ( $your_posts->have_posts() )

then you are referring to another post.

Here’s the common misconception, that wp_reset_postdata(), or any of the reset functions. This will not reset the post data to whatever was in it previously. This call always resets the post to the post in the main WP query. I explained this in more detail here https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/nested-post-object-fields/#post-48227

When you’re nested more than 2 deep you can no longer safely use any of the WP reset functions.

Instead of this

if( $post_object ) {
  $post = $post_object;	
  setup_postdata( $post );
  ?>	
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php if(get_field('CPT_name')) {
      the_field('CPT_name'); } ?></a>
    <?php
    wp_reset_postdata();
}

you need to do something like this

if( $post_object ) {
  ?>	
    <a href="<?php 
      echo get_permalink($post_object->ID); ?>"><?php 
      if (get_field('CPT_name', $post_object->ID)) {
        the_field('CPT_name', $post_object->ID);
      } ?></a>
  <?php 
}
