So basically i have a main page and a footer page. Both are seperate .php files.
Im using ACF for this site.
Following the documentation, ive created a while loop for my ‘flexible content’ in the main page and it works, displaying all the data that gets looped and hooked from the CMS input fields.
My Problem is in the footer, i have a while loop that displays links, but it wont display unless i remove the while loop from the main page, then the links display in the footer.
I honnestly dot get why this happens ive tested allot and get my head wrapped around this, please help.
Main page code:
<?php
// check if the flexible content field has rows of data
if( have_rows('flexible_content_field_name') ):
// loop through the rows of data
while ( have_rows('flexible_content_field_name') ) : the_row();
// check current row layout
if( get_row_layout() == 'gallery' ):
// check if the nested repeater field has rows of data
if( have_rows('images') ):
echo '<ul>';
// loop through the rows of data
while ( have_rows('images') ) : the_row();
$image = get_sub_field('image');
echo '<li><img src="' . $image['url'] . '" alt="' . $image['alt'] . '" /></li>';
endwhile;
echo '</ul>';
endif;
endif;
endwhile;
else :
// no layouts found
endif;
?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Footer Code:
<div class="links">
<?php
if( have_rows('footer_page_links', 'option') ):
var_dump("test");
while( have_rows('footer_page_links', 'option') ): the_row();
?>
<p><a href="<?php the_sub_field('footer_link'); ?>"><?php the_sub_field('footer_link_name'); ?></a></p>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
I would just like to add , not even the vardump()
displays in the footer if main page while loop is implemented so it never gets inside the footer loop. The footer uses ACF option page – > LINK
Also all other option fields in footer displays, if its not within the while loop. I have removed the main page while loop then the footer while loop works, and this only happens with flexible content, my other pages with loops, that does non consists of flexible content works perfectly.
