thanks @elliot but I think that just gets me back to my original question of how to limit that query, say to just return 3 posts (bonus points for returning random posts). It seems by default it just returns all the posts in the relationship.

I’m basically looking for the equivalent of:

<?php $query = new WP_Query(array(
    'posts_per_page' => 3,
    'orderby'        => 'rand',
  ));
?>

Thanks for your help @elliot! I think for now I’ll just stick with using get_field('conference_talks', false, false); as it has everything working. Maybe look into the members stuff when I have some free time.

so:

$talks = get_field('conference_talks', false, false);
print_r($talks);

Array
(
    [0] => 3997
    [1] => 3998
    [2] => 3996
    [3] => 3995
    [4] => 3994
)

as opposed to:

$talks = get_field('conference_talks');
print_r($talks);

Array
(
)

so it at least returns something, but it has appeared to caused some of the other custom fields to return incorrect values.

Update:

I guess the other fields were messed up because it was no longer return the post object and instead the post ID (aside: I’m guessing this is similar to changing the Return Format from Post Objects to Post IDs) so where before I had things like:

$user = get_field('talk_speaker');
the_field('talk_description');

I now need:

$user = get_field('talk_speaker', $post);
the_field('talk_description', $post);

which I have done and seems to have everything working.
