Reassign post data didnt work

  • Hello, i’m trying to output stories with third party author. And to od this i’m using Advanced Custom Field Post Object field. So when im try to get author post

    <?php $story_author = get_field( 'story_author' );
$post = $story_author;
setup_postdata( $post );?>

    Ajax load more do nothing with that, and when i call the_title() its return me the title of story, and not author.
    Without plugin it works perfectly.
    Can you look in it?
    Thanks

    Hi. I believe the issue is you need to declare global $post at the start of your repeater.

    Check the faqs for more details.

    Ok, thanks for the answer, now i can redefine global post with inside post object, but i have another problem: i cant reset “sub” post.
    After redefine original story post with author data

    <?php $story_author = get_field( 'story_author' );
$post = $story_author;
setup_postdata( $post );?>

    and reset it with wp_reset_postdata, $post are still have the author data and not original post.
    Any idea please?

    Let me have a look into this one tomorrow.

    Hi Hector,
    I was able to to accomplish this with the following repeater template:

    <li>
<h1>Current Title = <?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php $post_object = get_field('test'); ?>
<h3><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post_object->ID); ?>"><?php echo get_the_title($post_object->ID); ?></a?></h3>
</li>

    I know the ACF website says you need to set up the postdata but you really don’t.

    Do you just have a single author? If not, you will need to run a loop inside the repeater.
