So i’m guessing it’s the following 2 field calls that are failing?

  <?php the_field("presentation_abstract"); ?>
                                    <p>
                                    	<a href="<?php the_field("presentation_download_file"); ?>" target="_blank" class="arrow">Download</a>
                                    </p>
                                </section>	

If this is the case then a work around would be simple, set those fields as variables further up the page, and then simply call the variable.

p.s. I don’t really get what you are trying to do so I can’t comment on whether the nested loops are required or not, but I think for single pages your first loop shouldn’t be required. I might be wrong though 😉
