Hello !

I tried to make custom field working in a page which including multiple query loop of article.

I declare my $variable
($magazine = get_field(‘edition’, ‘option’);) just after the header.
She is working in my first loop post :

	<?php  
		$args = array(
			'post_type' => 'cover', 
			'posts_per_page' => 1,
			'magazine' => $magazine 
	 );
		$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
		while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); 
			$src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), array( 5600,1000 ), false, '' );?>
		/// content
			
	 	endwhile;?>

But when i try to use
($postId = get_field(‘postId ‘, ‘option’);) ,
outside this loop, it doesn”t work

Here my code :

			<article class="container">
				<?php echo do_shortcode( 
					'[blog post_type="article-long" blog layout="articleexcerptsharing" limit="1" include="'.$postId.'" ///etc///][/blog]'
				);?> 
			</article>

I have to dynamized the short code with acf to enable the possibility of compose a list of article by ID thought the back office.

I don’t understand why my $variable only work inside a loop of post, but not in the global page.

Can you give me some advice please ?

Hi @virtualexpo

You’ve not posted enough code to understand what’s going on here..
There’s no reference to $postId other than where you use it in your shortcode.

You could post the entirety of your code on a service like http://pastie.org/ so it can be better viewed 🙂
