ACF not showing after running loops - php

Question

In the below code, I call fields from Advanced Custom Fields plugin and only the first two show 'home_title' and 'home_content'. After these two I run two different loops to show the latest posts in a given category. After those loops run there are 4 more fields from ACF called. 'donate_title' , 'donate_content' , 'mission_title' , 'mission_content'. Which are not showing up (not pulling any content at all).
If I move these ACF before running the loops they all show up correctly. So I imagine there is a problem with these following the loops but cannot find the reason.
<div class="main-site">
<div class="home-title-1">
<?php the_field('home_title'); ?>
</div>
<div class="home-content-1">
<?php the_field('home_content'); ?>
</div>
<div class="home-boxes-cont">
<div class="box-left">
<?php
query_posts('cat=4&posts_per_page=1');
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="bl-img">
</div>
<div class="bl-title">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</div>
<div class="bl-content">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
<div class="box-middle">
<?php
query_posts('cat=5&posts_per_page=1');
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="bm-img">
</div>
<div class="bm-title">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</div>
<div class="bm-content">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
<div class="box-right">
<div class="br-img">
</div>
<div class="br-title">
<?php the_field('donate_title'); ?>
</div>
<div class="br-content">
<?php the_field('donate_content'); ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="mission-title">
<?php the_field('mission_title'); ?>
</div>
<div class="mission-content">
<?php the_field("mission_content"); ?>
</div>

Answer 1

In order to get custom field data from the original post after altering the global post data with your query_posts() calls, you need to reset your post data with the wp_reset_query() function. Place this function after each loop -
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
...
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>

Answer 2

You are altering the global wp_query variable. When you do that and the the result is not is_single() then you cannot pull any ACF settings any longer.
Either reset the wp_query to its original setting for the page or store the vars in an array before you make any wp_query changes, and retrieve them as needed later in the code.

Answer 3

While I agree with Scriptonomy, you should really just use get_posts(). This is exactly what this function is designed to do... custom loops outside the main loop. You should rarely ever need to modify the global wp_query variable.
If you still want to use the_permalink() and the_title() without passing a post id, then scroll down the page to the section labeled "Access all post data" and you'll see how to use setup_postdata() to make it easier.
