After my portfolio code, anything udner related to wp breaks

HI

So after this code

        <div class="row">                   


            <?php 
              $temp = $wp_query; 
              $wp_query = null; 
              $wp_query = new WP_Query(); 
              $wp_query->query('showposts=6&post_type=portfolio'.'&paged='.$paged); 
            ?> 


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

            <div class="col-md-4 col-sm-6 portfolio-item">
              <a href="<?php echo get_field('portfolio_site_url'); ?> " target="_blank" class="portfolio-link" data-toggle="modal">
                <div class="portfolio-hover">
                    <div class="portfolio-hover-content">
                        <i class="fa fa-plus fa-3x"></i>
                    </div>
                </div>
                 <img style="background-image:url(<?php echo get_field('portfolio_image_post'); ?>);">
              </a>

              <div class="portfolio-caption">
                <h4><a href="<?php echo get_field('portfolio_site_url'); ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>
                <p class="text-muted"></p>
              </div>
            </div><!-- col-* -->


            <?php endwhile;?>

            <?php 
                 $wp_query = null; 
                 $wp_query = $temp;  // Reset
            ?>

        </div><!-- /row -->
    </div><!-- /container -->
</div>

Mainly this:

 <?php 
              $temp = $wp_query; 
              $wp_query = null; 
              $wp_query = new WP_Query(); 
              $wp_query->query('showposts=6&post_type=portfolio'.'&paged='.$paged); 
            ?>

It breaks my :

<!-- Quote -->
<div class="quote section-padding" style="background-image: url(<?php echo get_field('quote_image_background'); ?>);">
    <div class="container"> 
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-lg-12">
              <h3><?php echo get_field('quote_title'); ?></h3>
                <h4><?php echo get_field('quote_author'); ?></h4>
            </div><!-- /col-lg-12 -->
        </div><!-- /row -->
    </div><!-- /container -->
</div><!-- /quote -->

And wont show me fields that im echo out. How come?

This code works perfeclty on my portfolio page.

I would try a few different things here... one would be passing your loop arguments to the WP_Query constructor instead of using the query() method.

$wp_query = new WP_Query(array(
  'posts_per_page' => 6,
  'post_type' => 'portfolio',
  'paged' => $paged
));

another would be to leave your loop the same but pass the post ID as the second argument to get_field()

get_field('field_key', $post->ID);

It sounds like the underlying problem has something to do with how the $post global is set and how ACF recongnizes it, but I don't know enough about how WP_Query and ACF work under the hood to give an explanation...hope this helps though.

After 24hours, from some Zac video, i remembered that he said to close the WP Queries because it can cause some problems, yay.

Solution re-solverd

wp_reset_query(); ?
