Cannot display Flexible Content in Category Archives

Hi there,

My issue seems to be the same as this:

https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/display-flexible-content-on-category-archive-page/
But that didn’t fully answer things for me. Basically, I’m using Flexible Content in a ‘Rows’ Custom Post Type, to build content for each ‘Row’. These ‘Rows’ are then selected as Post Objects in an ACF ‘Options’ section. With me so far?!

I then output the selected ‘Rows’ at the end of the site. This works in every part of the site except for the Catgeory Archives. Date & Author Archives are fine?

It does seem to be connected in some way to calling the post ID before running the Flexible Content. Here’s my code:

	<?php
		$subfooter_post_objects = get_field('default_subfooter_rows','options');
		if( $subfooter_post_objects ):
		
		echo '<div class="footerWrapper fullwidth clearfix">';
	
			foreach( $subfooter_post_objects as $post): setup_postdata($post);
				
					$postID = $post->ID;
					
					if ( have_rows( 'flexible_content', $postID ) ) :
					
					    while ( have_rows( 'flexible_content', $postID ) ) : the_row();
							
					        include(locate_template('flexible-content/'. get_row_layout() . '.php'));
					
					    endwhile;
					
					elseif ( get_the_content() ) :
					
					endif;
		    
			endforeach;
			
		echo '</div>';
			
		wp_reset_postdata();
	
		endif;
	
	?>

It is causing an error when I try to call in the Post ID:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /home/vfa/public_html/wp-content/themes/vfa_0-3/footer.php on line 11

Line 11 is:

$postID = $post->ID;

Any thoughts?

Many thanks!
