Hello,
We are using Repeater Field as related posts. So, what we do is when we create a post/custom post, We select few other posts as related.
We want to use it as widget with post title and it’s link. We use the following code.
<?php while(has_sub_field('repeater_related_items')): ?>
<?php $url = get_sub_field('related_item'); ?>
<li><?php echo $title = get_the_title(url_to_postid($url)); ?></li>
<?php endwhile;?>
Is there a way to do something like this?

Hi @warpx,
I reckon you will need to use our post object. 🙂
It will return a WP post object that you can access using the standard WP functions. Eg:
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
Checkout out our example here => http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/post-object/
Hello,
I have the following code
<?php $post_objects = get_field('repeater_related_items');
if( $post_objects ): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach( $post_objects as $post): // variable must be called $post (IMPORTANT) ?>
<?php setup_postdata($post); ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<span><?php the_field('repeater_related_items'); ?></span>
</li>
<?php endforeach;?>
</ul>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif;?>
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Main Sidebar') ) : endif; ?>
The problem is that when I add this to sidebar other widget doesn’t work.
Hi @warpx
Does your custom code work? Is it causing a PHP error to cut off the rest of the page?
It’s possible that the setup_postdata function is causing the widgets to misbehave.
Perhaps you can test this by removing the setup_postdata function and the wp_reset_postdata().
Your loop code may not work as expected (due to the incorrect $post object), but it will help debug the issue.

Hello,
Thanks for your help. I found the issue though, Simply removed
<span><?php the_field('repeater_related_items'); ?></span>
Thanks
