    The errors that are thrown back with invalid argument relate to three uses of this code.
    On our site’s homepage, the latest post is shown and uses a version of this code from a loop-index.php. On the homepage there is also a use by a postslider.php insert that shows other recent content. Then on each post the code is used by the header.php. So I suppose the answer is both? Site is religiousstudiesproject.com

    I believe the check for is_single() makes sure that if an editor/user did not specify a ‘person’ in content creation that their username appears as the author. Otherwise this code uses the ACF relationship field supplied ‘persons’ for authorship.

    I tried several things this morning, including changing the construction of the $acfield variable from $acfield = get_field('persons', $current_post_id); to $acfield = get_field('persons'); since I wondered whether it was necessary to specific $current_post_id when the get_field was already returning a post id by default.

    I then saw an old support ticket suggesting the $acfield’s construction needed to be inside the foreach(). That didn’t help either.

    Neither of those changes broke the code, nor did they stop the errors. I simply don’t understand enough about why or how the argument is invalid to move forward with a solution.

    [Sidebar: I’m redoing the site and hope to fix the source of these custom php errors by using ACF, elementor and a dynamic content plugin that will give us greater flexibility on the appearance of this part of our site]
