I have a query looping over a custom post type ‘podcasts’:
This uses a template to add the ‘cards’ and has pagination targeting the query by name:
The card template has a section containing the following elements:
All using queries like this to return users from an ACF user field:
The first page in the archive works fine and returns all the cards with the host, featuring and guest fields:
But if you visit another page /page/#/, the fields do not populate:
If I use AJAX pagination, the fields populate fine, but if I go to the URL directly, they do not.
Infinite scroll also works.

Hello @mljosh and welcome to the forum!
Can you try to:
- Disable “Custom query (PHP)”
- Enable “Disable query Merge”
- Enable “Custom query (PHP)” again.
Does it work then?

Perfect, I’m glad that it works 
As an additional info, you can also use the following filter, to disable query merge for certain loop.
I’ll mark the topic as no-bug, as it’s not really a bug
Best regards,
Matej
