# Plugin conflict: PHP code for posts and Advanced custom fields

 * When making custom loops to put into a page, I use the plugin PHP Code For Posts
   so that the PHP executes. However, I noticed that if I did so with the Advanced
   Custom Fields plugin active, the loop was rewritten as in this example:
    ` <!--?
   php $thisQuery = new WP_Query('cat=34&posts_per_page=3');<br ?--> while ($thisQuery-
   >have_posts() ) : $thisQuery->the_post(); the_title(); the_content(); get_the_post_thumbnail();
   endwhile; ?>
 *  
 * Of course, the page then just displays the PHP code, or what looks like it, but
   it does not run.
 * I’d be interested in hearing of any workarounds or explanations. (This is not
   an actual problem for me as yet; I was able to deactivate the ACF plugin and 
   just not use it.)
 * Thanks! Hope this helps someone with a similar problem.
