ACF Content not showing with multiple query_post

Hi all,

I have a site with a page that shows posts from four different categories, along with some ACF content for each lot of posts. The code I am using is:

// Display ACF content for category a
<?php the_field('category_title_a'); ?
<?php the_field('category_content_a'); ?>

// Display posts from category a
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query( 'category_name=cat-name' );
while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
//extra stuff here
<?php endwhile; ?>

THE PROBLEM I am having is that the ACF content shows up fine for each lot of posts if I use standard loops with no queries, but once I add a query for each loop to only select certain categories the ACF content AFTER the first loop doesn’t show.

TO CLARIFY: When using multiple query_posts on a page the ACF content BEFORE first query-posts loop will show but the ACF content AFTER the first query_posts will not show.

I’m no a super tight deadline and I can’t seem to find a solution.

Please help!

Thank you in advance

SOLUTION FOUND!

I used this after each while:

<?php wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post(). ?>

So the end product looks like this:

// Display ACF content for category a
<?php the_field('category_title_a'); ?
<?php the_field('category_content_a'); ?>

// Display posts from category a
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query( 'category_name=cat-name' );
while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
//extra stuff here
<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post(). ?>

Hi brendan,
I’m having similar problem, I cann’t show ACF fields content, only WordPress “content” textarea value is shown, could you help me?
My code:

    $args       = array( 'post_type' => 'page', 'name' => 'movies', 'post_status' => 'publish' );
    $wp_query   = new WP_Query( $args );
    $output     = "";

    while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) {
        $wp_query->the_post();
        $output .= apply_filters('the_content', get_the_content());    
    }
    
    wp_reset_query();

    return $output;

Thank you
