Newbie Help – Nested queries

Hi All,

New to ACF, but getting there.

I have the the follwoing:

ACF Field Group: Home Page (HP)

ACF Field Group: Case Study (CS)

I’m building a homepage template which pulls everything from the group HP

I also need to include a section midway down that pulls in the latest entry from CS, i.e.:

HEADER

HP Title
HP Hero Image

HP Intro

CS Title
CS Hero Image

HP Call to Action
HP End Block

FOOTER

PROBLEM:

Running a query midway in the template against CS does not allow me to access any of the info in there

Query:

 $ps = get_posts(
	array(
	'numberposts' => -1,
	'post_type' => 'case_study',
	'posts_per_page' => '1',
	)
);

Accessing anything through the_field(‘cs_title’) comes up with nothing, as the HP query is the only data accessible.

How do I separate the CS query into it’s own namespace to be able to access the field values whilst in the middle of the HP query?

Any pointers?

Ben

UPDATE:

I’m an idiot. I wasn’t referencing the case study object in my display loop.

I will go an sit in a corner now.

Sorry!
