Array shows up in some instance, empty in others

    I’ve added a select advanced box used to associate one custom post type item with other items of a different type.

    For example, for a certain INDUSTRY the clients would recommend certain SERVICES.

    Here’s how I’ve registered it to show under industry:

    array(
'name'        => __( 'Services we recommend', 'your-prefix' ),
'id'          => "{$prefix}service_rec",
'type'        => 'post',
'post_type'   => 'service',
'field_type'  => 'select_advanced',
'placeholder' => __( 'Select an Item', 'your-prefix' ),
'multiple'    => true,
'query_args'  => array(
    'post_status'    => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => - 1,
),
),

    And I’m showing it on the front end like this:

    $services = rwmb_meta('as_service_rec');
if ( !empty($services) ) {
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($services as $service) {
$page = get_post($service);
echo '<li>' .  $page->post_title . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}

    The problem is that this works successfully on any single industry page, but the array shows up EMPTY (testing with print_r) when I try to include this in a wp_query loop elsewhere on the site.

    Driving me crazy!

    Can you show the code for the query loop?

    Yes sir

    $args = array(
'post_type' => array('service'),
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1
);

$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) :
$my_query->the_post();
the_title();
$services = rwmb_meta('as_service_rec');
print_r($services);
echo '<br>';
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();

    I think i just answered my own question the query should be INDUSTRY not SERVICE

    ugh!

    So the correct code would be:

    $args = array(
'post_type' => array('industry'),
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1
);

$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) :
$my_query->the_post();
the_title();
$services = rwmb_meta('as_service_rec');
print_r($services);
echo '<br>';
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();
