Hello,

I created a custom post type (Events) and I created another custom post type (Instructors), which I classified the instructors post type as a relationship custom field in ACF. I am populating the Event Post Type list just fine, however when I try to call the Instructor custom field, it either wont show up or it will kill the string of events and just show one. Don’t know what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide. 🙂

<?php
/**
* Template Name: Classes
 *
 */
get_header(); ?>

<div class="container">
  <?php 
$today = date('Ymd');
$instructor = get_field('instructors');
// get posts
$posts = get_posts(array(
	'post_type'			=> 'event',
	'posts_per_page'	=> -1,
	'meta_key'			=> 'event_date',
	'orderby'			=> 'meta_value_num',
	'order'				=> 'ASC',
  	'meta_query'		=> array(
	  		array(
			   'key' => 'event_date',
              'compare' => '>',
			  'value' => $today,
              'type' => 'DATE',
	'meta_query'		=> array(
	  		array(
			  'key'	=> 'instructors',
			  'value'	=> $instructor,
			  'compare'	=>'IN',
),)			  
),)
  	 
));

if( $posts ): ?>
		
	<?php foreach( $posts as $post ): 
		
		setup_postdata( $post )
		
		?>

  <a class"class"href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2></a>

		  <img style="float: right; max-width: 28%;"src="<?php the_field('event_image'); ?>"/><h3>Event Date : 
<?php the_field('event_date'); ?>
  </h3>
  <h4>Start Time: <?php the_field('start_time'); ?></h4>
  <h4>End Time: <?php the_field('end_time'); ?></h4>
  <p><?php the_field('description'); ?></p>
  <?php if($instructor): ?>
  <?php the_field('instructors'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode('[addtoany]'); ?>
  <div class="clear"></div>
  <hr>

<?php endforeach; ?>
  
  
  <?php endif; ?>

	<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?> 

  <div class="clear"></div>

  </div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Your meta_query is a bit off I think, the second meta_query is overriding the second.

$posts = get_posts(
    array(
        'post_type' => 'event',
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'meta_key' => 'event_date',
        'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
        'order' => 'ASC',
        'meta_query' => array(
            array(
                'key' => 'event_date',
                'compare' => '>',
                'value' => $today,
                'type' => 'DATE',
            ),
            array(
                'key' => 'instructors',
                'value' => $instructor,
                'compare' =>'IN',
            ),
        )
    ),
);
