Custom relationship fields created with ACF (free version) are not displayed

Hi there,

The Query Loop block doesn’t have built-in support for relationship fields, but it is possible with a custom PHP snippet. Refer here:

https://generate.support/topic/can-i-query-posts-from-an-acf-relationship-field/#post-111633

It didn’t work. I share a .gif of what happened. Did I make a mistake in some step? If not, is there another way?

Can you share the screenshots links？It’s really hard to read of a gif, I haven’t finished reading it, it jumps to the next one.

Thanks!

Sorry. I thought it might be a good idea to use a .gif file but it wasn’t. I hope it worked now.

Replace the linked_consultants to your relationship field name, which in you case is autor_relationship

Thanks for your answer. But I changed linked_consultants to autor_relationship, and nothing happened. The content of the custom field is not displayed.

That is the code I added in the functions.php file of the child theme:

add_filter( 'generateblocks_query_loop_args', function( $query_args, $attributes ) {

if (

! empty( $attributes['className'] ) &&

strpos( $attributes['className'], 'related-profiles' ) !== false &&

! is_admin()

) {

// get the relate post ID

$current_post = get_the_ID() ;

$relationship = get_field( "autor_relationship", $current_post );

// Merge the current $query_args with the new args

return array_merge( $query_args, array(

'post__in' => $relationship,

) );

}

return $query_args;

}, 10, 2 );

The query loop is added to the page called Queryloop Relationship_field, so this is the page where the query loop gets the relation, but it seems the page does not have relationship field, is that the case?

Just so you know, the query loop should be added to the page/cpt where the relationship field is added.

I did it by creating a new page where the custom post type to which the relationship custom field belongs is and it didn’t work either.

Can I see screenshots of your current set up?

Set up:

To see if the $relationship returns any data, could you try this:

Below this line:

$relationship = get_field( "autor_relationship", $current_post );

Add this:

var_dump($relationship);

This will dump that variables value to the page, so we can then see what is inside it.

Hi, this is what happened:

I went through all the screenshots, and I don’t think you understand the relationship fields well. The relationship field can not be pulled via a headline block, as it returns array, which are posts, but it can be pulled by a query loop block.

The relationship fields is to return posts/pages/cpt that are related to the current page/post/cpt.

The query loop is to show the posts that are related to the page it is located in, so in your case, the query loop is supposed to show posts that are related to the page called “Query loop”.

Hope that’s understandable.

The relationship custom field works outside of the query loop.

With the help of this tutorial and chatgpt I applied a code to the CPT Publications single (CPT in which it has the relationship field within the group of fields), the values ??of that field are shown (the names and surnames of the authors).

And what I would like to achieve is that those values ??were displayed using the QueryLoop of GenerateBlocks.

               <?php $autor_relationship = get_field('autor_relationship');

		if ($autor_relationship) {
		$autor_titles = array();
		foreach ($autor_relationship as $autor_relationships) {
		$autor_titles[] = $autor_relationships->post_title;
		}
		echo implode('; ', $autor_titles);
		}

		?>

And if I apply the var_dump that was recommended to me for the query loop in the single.

var_dump($autor_relationship);

This appears on the single:
