Hi Jonathan,

Yes the code is in banners.php which I’ve included in both single.php and single-company.php, thus I don’t see how come it doesn’t work on single-company.php but only on single.php 🙁

If it please you here is the code in its entirety on banner.php:

<?php if ( is_single() || is_singular() ) : // for singular items only ?>

	<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

		<?php $post_objects = get_field('banner_selection');?>
		<?php if( $post_objects ):  // if banner selection was made, show those ?>
			<?php foreach( $post_objects as $post): ?>
				<?php setup_postdata($post); ?>
				<?php get_template_part( 'banner','side' ); ?>
			<?php endforeach; ?>
			<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

		<?php else: // if there are no selected banners, show random 5 banners ?>
			<?php query_posts( array ( 'post_type' => 'banner', 'meta_key' => 'banner_type', 'meta_value' => 'sidebar', 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'orderby' => 'rand' ) ); // The Query ?>
				<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); // The Loop ?>
					<?php get_template_part( 'banner','side' ); ?>
				<?php endwhile; ?>
			<?php wp_reset_query(); // End Query, RESET ?>
		<?php endif; // end if banner selection was made ?>

	<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php else : // for homepage/archive items only ?>

	<?php query_posts( array ( 'post_type' => 'banner', 'meta_key' => 'banner_type', 'meta_value' => 'sidebar', 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'orderby' => 'rand' ) ); // The Query ?>
		<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); // The Loop ?>
				<?php get_template_part( 'banner','side' ); ?>
		<?php endwhile; ?>
	<?php wp_reset_query(); // End Query, RESET ?>

<?php endif; // is_single() ?>

On your second point though, the code is outside the loop. This *could* be the case, however I still have no idea why it wouldnt work for single-company.php when it works for single.php.

Many thanks in advance!
