Can`t make more than one loop work in one template

Hello

I need to create at least 3 loops in one template with post types, the first one is working perfectly, but when I place a second in the same template it doesn`t work correctly.

  • It should show 2 posts and shows only one;
  • Doesn´t print the information it should (and the first one does and I`m using the same code for both);
  • Also kills the <?php get_footer() ?> and if I try to get a sidebar;

I`v tried to separate the code in a Get_template_part.. and the problem persists.

This is the code I'm using for both loops changing only funcion names and args

<?php

$args = array(
'post_type' => 'noticias',
'posts_per_page' => 6

);

$noticias = new WP_Query ( $args );

?>

<div class="row">

<?php if (have_posts() ) : while( $noticias->have_posts()) : $noticias->the_post(); ?>

<div class="small-12 large-4 columns">
<div class="panel noticia-home-item">
<div class="thumbtitle group">

                                <p><?php the_field( 'noticias' ); ?></p>
<div class="thumbnail thumb-noticias-home">

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?></a>
</div>

<h5>

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">

<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</h5>

<p class="data">Publicado em <?php $data = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd',get_field('data'));
echo $data->format('d/m/y'); ?></p>

<div class="resumo"><?php the_excerpt(); ?> </div>
<div class="saiba-mais"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">Saiba mais..</a></div>

</div><!--thumb title-->
</div><!--panel-->
</div><!--large-4-->

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

</div><!--row-notícias-->

Try to reset the global $wp_query using wp_reset_query().

In the main loop you tested have_posts() instead you need to test if $noticias->have_posts()
