 * Hello.
    I am developing a custom theme and the problem is the following. I have
   two Custom Post Types created with Custom Post Types UI plugin. Each type has
   Advanced Custom Fields assocciated with it.
 * When I now want to query these post types with the following code, the site just
   keeps loading and I get an fatal error from the max_execution_time.
 *     ```
       $qa = array("post_type"=>array("events","events_special"));
       $query = new WP_Query($qa);
       if( $query->have_posts() ){
        while($query->have_posts() ){
         the_post();
        }
       }
       ```
   
 * The site even brakes when I use the normal/standard loop.
    I tried to disable
   all plugins but the problem is still there. Can somone help me plz.

 * Try:
 * $qa = array( “post_type” => array(“events”,”events_special”) );
    $query = new
   WP_Query( $qa ); if( $query->have_posts() ) { while( $query->have_posts() ) :
   $query->the_post(); // Code here endwhile; } wp_reset_query();

 * If you remove the code you’ve entered does it work or does the problem still 
   exist?

 * I found a solution.
    I deleted all custom post types an created new ones. Now
   it is working. Thank you for your help. The actual code is now:
 *     ```
       $qa = array(
           "post_type" => array( "event_standard", "event_special" )
           );
   
       $q = new WP_Query($qa);
   
       if( $q->have_posts() ){
   
           while( $q->have_posts()){
               $q->the_post();
               //more Code here
           } //END WHILE
   
       } //END IF
       ```
