Hello,
I have created a Relationship field where the user chooses 3 pages which will be featured on the homepage. Each should show the page title, the page link and the content from that page. I used the example basic loop on from this page – http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/relationship/ – to get started and it works for the most part.
This is what my current code looks like:
<?php $posts = get_field('featured_pages'); ?>
<?php foreach( $posts as $post): ?>
<?php setup_postdata($post); ?>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h5><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h5>
<p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
It’s getting the_permalink(), it’s getting the_title(), but the_content() doesn’t work. Any ideas?
Hi @cwcarlsen
If the_title and the_permalink and working, I don’t understand why the_content is not working.
Perhaps you can debug the post data like so:
$posts = get_field('featured_pages');
echo '<pre>';
print_r( $posts);
echo '</pre>';
die;
Does each post object contain post_content data?
Maybe the selected posts, don’t contain data? Or perhaps another plugin is preventing the post_content from being displayed such as a member plugin?
Thanks

I had this same problem. Then I realised the format was set to Post IDs. As soon as I changed it to Post Objects it worked.
When I use this I get the opposite problem. The content works, but the permalink and title both reference the page they are placed into. When I don’t use the post data, they reference correctly, but the content doesn’t show.
I’m getting the same issue as cwcarlsen.
In my case, I can get the title, permalink, thumbnail and excerpts displaying correctly, but not the_content. Changing the format from Post Objects to Post IDs didn’t work. I’ve been using ACF Pro 5.10 and 5.12.
A quick update to my earlier post – switching to ACF (non-Pro) 4.3.9 seems to have fixed the problem.
Changed to Post Object from Post ID.
That fixed it!
I have a loop setup and need to pull in the title, content, and featured image. Everything works except for the_content().
The field is set to post object so I know thats not the issue. Is this something with ACF Pro? I really don’t want to use the old version just because of this. Any help here would be much appreciated.
Version: ACF Pro 5.3.1
Bumping this – have the same issue.
I get the featured image, title and other acf fields, but no excerpt or content.
<h3>Course Faculty</h3>
<?php
global $post;
$faculty = get_field('alt_faculty');
if( $faculty ): ?>
<?php foreach( $faculty as $post): ?>
<?php setup_postdata($post); ?>
<div class="post-author">
<div class="thumb">
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>
<?php } else { ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo catch_that_image(); ?>" /></a><?php }?>
</div>
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'partials/profile-social', '' ); ?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Ah. Fixed the issue by switching the field from post_ID to post object.
Very odd, I’m having the exact same issue but my field is definitely setup as a post object. Anyone else having this issue?
Having this issue too, using the Basic loop (without setup_postdata). Field is 100% set up as Post Object, and I’m able to get the title using:
<?php echo get_the_title( $p->ID ); ?>
but unable to get the content using:
<?php echo get_the_content( $p->ID ); ?>
I was having this issue too using the Basic loop (without setup_postdata) on my blog/news page. I was using a relationship field to select some featured posts for the top of the page but get_the_content() always returned the content of my latest published post.
I over came this using the below code:
<?php $content = get_post_field('post_content', $p->ID); ?>
<p><?php echo $content; ?></p>
Just in case anyone else comes along searching for this, here’s what worked for me:
global $post;
$related_posts = get_field( 'related_posts' );
if( $related_posts ) :
foreach( $related_posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post );
// This worked for me
$output = apply_filters( 'the_content', $post->post_content );
echo $post->post_content;
endforeach;
wp_reset_postdata();
endif;
