Hey all,
I’ve attached a theme template file, single-services.php that shows a single “services” page which is a custom WP post type. I also want to display all the “resources” (another custom post type) on this page.
My problem is that the array containing the resources is always blank.
I used https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/querying-relationship-fields/ as my guide and a good portion of what’s in the attached PHP file is from the last code block for single-location.php.
I’d love some help with getting this working as everything I’ve come up with to date hasn’t worked.
Thank you all!

You cannot attache a php file here. You must use code tags from the menu.
Sorry, John – thank you for replying though. I’ve since solved my question and have them displayed…just a little different than I like. For some reason this code:
<h3>Resources</h3>
<!-- -->
<?php
$resourcestest = get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'resources',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'schoolservice', // name of custom field
'value' => '"' . get_the_ID() . '"', // matches exactly "123", not just 123. This prevents a match for "1234"
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
));
?>
<?php if( $resourcestest ): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach( $resourcestest as $thisresource ): ?>
<li>
<a>ID ); ?>">
<?php echo get_the_title( $thisresource->ID ); ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- -->
is displaying on 5 of the 7 Resources I have. No matter what I do…only 5.
I’m still debugging but if you have insight that’d be wonderful.
Thank you!

More than likely you have the blog settings (Settins => Reading) set to show 5 posts per page. This setting will set the number of posts per page for every post type unless you include a different ‘posts_per_page’ value when you query posts.
John! You’re the best. Thank you. While in Settings -> Reading, the value was 10 per post, but your message did make me RTFM…so then I did, and added:
'posts_per_page' => 25
to my array for the get_posts() call and that did the trick.
Thank ya sir & have a great Thursday!
