Using an if statement within a foreach loop with ACF

Question

I'm having trouble with some PHP alongside ACF. I'm pretty unfamiliar when it comes to PHP but here's the structure. I have a ACF Select field for a category that includes Admin, Salesperson and Clerk. I am trying to render cards for each person under each category for example

Admin

Person 1 Person 3 Person 5

Salesperson

Person 2 Person 6

Clerk

Person 7

Here's the code I have:

$members_query = new WP_Query( array(
    'post_type' => 'team-member',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'orderby' => 'menu_order',
    'order' => 'asc'
) );


// abort if no members to show
if ( ! $members_query->have_posts() ) return;

// split members into two columns 
$members_all = $members_query->posts;
$members_list = array();
foreach ($members_query->posts as $loop_index => $member_post ) {
    $members_list[] = $member_post;
}

// use a fn to output member cards for each column 
if ( ! function_exists( 'opt_render_team_member' ) ) {
    function opt_render_team_member( $member_post, $id_prefix = '' ) {

        $name = $member_post->post_title;
        $image = get_field( 'image', $member_post->ID );
        $job_title = get_field( 'job_title', $member_post->ID );
        $bio = get_field( 'bio', $member_post->ID );
        $certifications = get_field( 'certifications', $member_post->ID );
        $category = get_field ( 'category', $member_post->ID);
        ?>

        <div class="mb-7">

            <?php if ( $image ) : ?>
                <div class="team-members__headshot">
                    <?= wp_get_attachment_image( $image['ID'], 'medium_large' ); ?>
                </div>
            <?php endif; ?>

            <?php if ( $name ) : ?>
                <h2 class="team-members__name">
                    <?= $name; ?>
                </h2>
            <?php endif; ?>

            <?php if ( $job_title ) : ?>
                <h3 class="team-members__position">
                    <?= $job_title; ?>
                </h3>
            <?php endif; ?>

            <?php if ( $bio ) : ?>
                <?= $bio; ?>
            <?php endif; ?>

            <?php if ( ! empty( $certifications ) ) : ?>
                <button 
                    class="team-members__credentials-toggle" 
                    type="button" 
                    data-toggle="collapse" 
                    data-target="#team-member-<?= $id_prefix; ?>" 
                    aria-expanded="false" 
                    aria-controls="team-member-<?= $id_prefix; ?>"
                >
                    <?= __( 'See their credentials', 'optimize' ); ?>
                </button>
                <ul class="team-members__credentials collapse" id="team-member-<?= $id_prefix; ?>">
                    <?php foreach ( $certifications as $certification ) : ?>
                        <li>
                            <?= $certification['certification']; ?>
                        </li>
                    <?php endforeach; ?>
                </ul>
            <?php endif; ?>

        </div>
        
        <?php
    }
}

?>

<div class="team-members alignfull">
    <div class="container">

        <div class="row d-none d-lg-flex">

        <?php foreach ( $members_list as $loop_index => $member_post ) : ?>
            <?php if(get_field( 'category' ) == "admin") : ?>
                <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4">
                    <?php opt_render_team_member( $member_post, "$loop_index" ); ?>               
                </div>
            <?php endif; ?>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

The issue is when I add the if(get_field('category') == "admin" it shows nothing, but if I remove that if statement, I see all the members but not sorted as I would like. Any advice or ideas. Thanks!

what about? <?php if(get_field('category', $member_post->ID) === 'admin') : ?> — Barrie Dawson

Does not work, I've tried with =, ==, and === and no luck at all. — JimboNeutronbo

I ment more in the use of the 2nd argument to get_field, typically it falls back to the current post or post loaded in a wp loop(not a foreach), does this post then have the field 'category' or do you need to pass the $member_post->ID to it?? — Barrie Dawson

Oh I see, yeah, it does have the field category added via ACF. I tried what you had posted and it does work now, but I don't quite understand why if you don't mind expanding. — JimboNeutronbo

Docs: advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_field 2nd argument denotes while to find attached data in posts, so I presume that if you have category in the parent post, it's possibly empty, where as in the member_post it actually has the data — Barrie Dawson
