Hey Bricks community! 😃

I have a suuuuper weird issue inside my query loops which just seems to be getting worse. I cannot seem to fix it for the life of me.

Basically, I have a card with a query loop on 2 pages. One is my home page, and one is an archive template.

**On my home page, when i use {page\_slug}, it just returns ‘home’ on all of the items** - which I can only assume comes from the home page, even though that isn’t the slug.

**On my archive template, when I use {page\_slug}, it returns memberstack-badge** - which is actually the correct slug… for ONE of the items. But it returns that slug for every single item.

**Here’s a loom video where I walk through the problem:  
 [Troubleshooting Dynamic Data Issues 🔧 | Loom](https://www.loom.com/share/cf5fd707d1084a72946561bf6ab2f5f4?from_recorder=1&focus_title=1)**

Any help would be appreciated, I’m totally lost - thank you so much!!!

Alright so I am almost sure this is a bug at this point - it looks like dynamic data works perfectly fine UNLESS it’s being used to set a link destination. Then it goes crazy.

Take a look at this - specifically the link destination in the bottom left corner, and the text below the button that says made-with-memberstack (this is correct)

Now, look at these 2 images. I’m using {post\_slug} for both, and yet this one works perfectly (not a link)

And this one doesn’t work (is a link)

Hello @juliang,

I tried to replicate the issue, but I can’t. Check my screenshot below. First, there is a basic text, with just text, and then there is a button, with a “custom link”. And it works.

 ![CleanShot 2025-02-12 at 12.24.04@2x](https://forum.bricksbuilder.io/uploads/default/original/3X/3/7/37d6f7c193d5610e0dc78998a2bd28d4746c4d86.png)

So, what if you link the button to `{post_url}`, using “Custom URL” or using “Dynamic Data” options? It’s the same?

Can you also make sure that you don’t have nested links?

Let me know.  
Matej

Hey Matej, thanks for getting back!!

I’ve implemented a temporary solution for now which gets the link value from the hidden text below it and sets it with JavaScript. It’s not a good solution, but it’s my interim fix until I figure this out 🤣

I’ve duplicated the page and removed my temporary fix, so you can test it at [Free Bricks Builder Components | One Click Copy | Bricks Board](https://bricksboard.com/home-duplicate/)

EDIT: Just re-read your question about post\_url and dynamic data - it is indeed the same. The constant I have found is that if it’s the URL of a link, it does not work.

Hi,

I tested, but I can’t replicate the issue. I see though, that the links in your example, are not working correctly.

Can you send temporary login credentials to your website and a link to this thread to [help@bricksbuilder.io](mailto:help@bricksbuilder.io) using the email address you used during the purchase, so we can take a look?  
If you have a staging website, I prefer a staging one 🙂

Thank you.  
Matej

No staging website at the moment, but we don’t have any visitors yet so no worries if you do break something haha

Sending via email now!

Quick update, if anyone lands here, the issue was a custom code inside the “Custom code” element.

I’ll mark this topic as no-bug, as it was not Bricks-related.

Best regards,

Hey everyone!

This has been resolved - essentially, I had some code which was using WP\_Query inside of my query loop which was resetting the $post object.

```auto
<?php
$member_id = '{acf_member_id}';

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'member', // Correct post type
    'posts_per_page' => 1,
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key' => 'member_id',
            'value' => $member_id,
            'compare' => '='
        )
    )
);

$query = new WP_Query($args);

if ($query->have_posts()) {
    while ($query->have_posts()) {
        $query->the_post();
        $profile_pic_url = get_field('profile_pic_url'); // Get ACF field
        
        // Set default image if profile_pic_url is empty
        if (!$profile_pic_url) {
            $profile_pic_url = '/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/defaultprofpic.webp';
        }

        echo '<img src="' . esc_url($profile_pic_url) . '" alt="Profile Picture" class="member-profile-pic">';
    }
    wp_reset_postdata();
} else {
    echo 'No member found.';
}
?>

```

I’ve replaced it with this code which I made with ChatGPT

```auto
<?php
$member_id = get_field('member_id', get_the_ID()); // Get the correct member ID

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'member',
    'posts_per_page' => 1,
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key' => 'member_id',
            'value' => $member_id,
            'compare' => '='
        )
    )
);

// Use get_posts() instead of WP_Query to avoid modifying the global $post
$members = get_posts($args);

if (!empty($members)) {
    $member = $members[0]; // Get the first result
    $name = get_field('name', $member->ID); // Get ACF field for this member
    echo esc_html($name);
}
?>

```

This one uses get\_posts instead of WP\_Query - so, no more problem!

Big thanks to @Matej for the amazing support. Hope this thread helps someone in the future!
