WAIT: ACF Post object query doesn't render featured image if set to the page calling it

[FilWi]

I accidentally stumbled over this one, and it’s such a minor thing that it may not be worth fixing, but:

I’ve got a repeater that contains a post object field (and other fields, too). When I run a loop to show the post object with pages other than the page where the repeater is situated, I get expected results.

However, if I insert the post object where the repeater is situated, it won’t pull the featured image.

So, basically, what I did was:

1. Create repeater with a post object field.
2. Add the field to a post object query in a template.
3. Feed the page where the repeater is situated into the post object field.

Results: bricks renders all the fields, except the featured image where it renders nothing. Put any other page into the page object field, and it renders the featured image just fine.

Here’s how it looks on the back end:

And here’s the result on the front end:

And the setup:

@FilWi - Could you share the code you used, or the dynamic data you used to pull in the featured image and other post meta from the post object field?

I’m trying to do something similar, except just with a single post object field, and I can’t get anything to populate except the post name / link. I’m trying to do with dynamic data tags right now. Not sure if it’s a similar bug, or if I’m just doing something wrong:

Help with dynamic data from ACF Post Object Field

Hoping someone can point in the right direction on how to accomplish two things with an ACF Post Object Field and dynamic data. On my “News” page, I have 2 sections, one which pulls in normal blog posts, and another that pulls in a custom post type called Events. Above both of those at the top, I have a section to feature single post, which the site owner can choose from an ACF Post Object Field I’ve set up. They can select a blog post or an event post. Now I’m trying to accomplish 2 things wi…

Hi Filip,
Sorry for the late reply!

I tried replicating the issue using Bricks 1.11beta, but I can’t. Is it still an issue, and have you tried it with the current beta?

If it still won’t work, please send temporary login credentials and a link to this thread to help@bricksbuilder.io using the email address you used during the purchase.

Best,
timmse
