Custom Post Type Loop breaking php

Question

My While loop is breaking the rest of my PHP on the site. Below I put my code that is working but again breaking the rest of the site. Any Suggestions

$query = array( 'post_type' => 'slides', 'orderby' => 'ASC' );
$loop = new WP_Query($query);

while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();

        $title = get_the_title();
        $image_object = get_field('slides');
        $alt = $image_object['title'];
        $sizes = $image_object['sizes'];
        $image = $sizes['slider'];

        echo '<div>';
        echo '<div class="slide">';
        echo '<img src="' . $image . '" alt="' . $alt . '" />';
        echo '</div>';
        echo '</div>';


endwhile;

Answer 1

A few points:

• Instead of while(): endwhile; Use while() { }
• You didn't check to see if any posts were found, if($loop->have_posts()){} will do the trick
• You didn't cleanup after your query, inside the if statement mentioned above, make a call to wp_reset_postdata(); before your closing brace
• Avoid generic variables like $query for your args that may already be used elsewhere. $args may be a more appropriate name
