I hope you know I’m not trying to be difficult I just didn’t understand what you were saying. To me it appears that the ACF functions are inside the loop and the problem is that they are calling using the ID of the current post page when I want them to use the ID of the get_template_part post.

Are you saying that the ACF functions are outside of the loop because they have php tags around them??

I did based my code off of this page which didn’t query any specific post
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/working-with-nested-repeaters/

Anyways, I figured it out based on the comments that you made. I was calling using the ID of the wrong current post vs the ID of the post template which I was loading.

I added this at the beginning of that loop

<?php 
		query_posts('post_id=65');
							
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); 
?>

Then I reset the loop <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> and it’s working great.

thanks!

Also, I’m not trying to get the current post ID. I have a very specific post ID that I want to use and it is the same for every post.

If you look at the first code that I posted which is in the template it appears to me that the fields are inside the main loop.

And with all of the functions that I’m using none of them in the template use the get_field()

They all use have_rows() and/or the_sub_field()

Sorry, I forgot that I copied the code from the template and started working on it directly in the page.

Here is the code with the load template function in it.

<?php
/**

?>
  
  
  
  <?php get_header(); ?>

That is the code that is in SideBarNav.php

I’m not quite sure if it is loaded inside or outside the main loop. As bad as it sounds I’m not sure which is considered the main loop.

So, I will post the code for the whole page here. This is code from the page the the template is being inserted into

You will see <?php load_template( ‘wp-content/themes/modestclothes/SideBarNav.php’ ); ?>

in the code below where the template should be loaded.

<?php
