Double query results at Dynamic preview

Hello!

I’m glad to hear that you enjoy ACF Extended ??

I’m not sure to completely understand your problem. In your flexible content, you add a layout (which has a WP Query), and it’s added twice in the administration?

Can you please give me some more informations?

Regards.

Hi,

in my render template I use wp_query. The content of that query is added twice in 1 layout screen.

Hello,

Yes, this is a 8 years old WP bug, described in this ticket: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/18408. WP_Query in the admin area leads to duplicate results render.

This issue also caused problem to Gutenberg: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/7468

It can be resolved by doing a backup of the original $post and reassign it after the query.

Here is a usage example inside your layout template.php file:

<?php 

// Backup post
global $post;
$_post = $post;

$query = new WP_Query(array(
    'post_type' => 'page'
));

?>

<?php if($query->have_posts()): ?>
    <?php while($query->have_posts()): $query->the_post(); ?>

        <?php the_title(); ?><br/>

    <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php 

// Restore original post
$post = $_post;
?>

I’ll add a fix at the Flexible Content Field level in the next plugin’s update, using the same method as Gutenberg.

Meanwhile, you can fix it by adding the following code in your functions.php. Then you can use WP_Query normally in any layout:

/* 
 * Flexible Content Preview: Fix WP_Query
 * See: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/18408
 * See: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/double-query-results-at-dynamic-preview/
 */
add_action('acfe/flexible/preview', 'flexible_preview_query_fix_before', 98);
function flexible_preview_query_fix_before(){
    
    // Backup original post
    global $post;
    $_post = $post;
    
}

add_action('acfe/flexible/preview', 'flexible_preview_query_fix_after', 100);
function flexible_preview_query_fix_after(){
    
    // Restore original post
    global $post, $_post;
    $post = $_post;
    
}

I’ll tell you when the update will be out, so you can remove this code ??

Regards.

Nice! works like a charm! thanks for the quick and good reply.

I will get it out of my functions.php when you release an update. So we can close this one. thanks!

5 STARS ??
