I have an issue where the_permalink isn’t working when post_object is being used.
<?php the_permalink(); ?> This should be the post link but is, instead, showing the current page URL on the frontend.
What have I missed?
Can anyone help?
Code below;
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'cpd',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'asc'
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<div id="cpd-items" class="p25top quiz-results">
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<div class="cpd-item quiz-result p25">
<div class="cpd-item-icon">
<i class="fa-light fa-file-lines"></i>
</div>
<div class="cpd-item-content">
<h5><?php the_title(); ?></h5>
<?php $post_object = get_field('quiz_results'); ?>
<?php if( $post_object ): ?>
<?php $post = $post_object; setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<?php $postid = get_the_ID(); ?>
<?php echo $postid; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata( $post ) ; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<p class="take-quiz-text">You have not yet taken this quiz. Please click the button below.</p>
<p class="p25top retake-quiz-button"><a>">Re-Take the Quiz</a></p>
<p class="p25top take-quiz-button"><a>">Take the Quiz</a></p>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
<?php wp_reset_postdata( $the_query ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php } ?>
Where are you trying to use the_permalink()?
That aside, you have a query nesting issue.
Please see this topic and the topics that are linked to from there for an explanation of nested query issues. https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/nested-post-object-fields/
