title: Getting Post Thumbnail to show for Single Post Obect (WP + ACF)
body: <p>I am having a hard time getting the Wordpress thumbnail to show up when I am using Advanced Custom Fields Pro Post Object.</p>
  <p>My goal is to have the user select a single featured post to show up after the 6th post on the blog page.</p>
  <p>This is my code (which is pretty much directly from ACF documentation):</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  $featured_post = get_field('featured_post', 'option');
  if( $featured_post ): ?&gt;
  
      &lt;?php echo esc_html( $featured_post-&gt;post_title ); ?&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  
      &lt;?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?&gt;
  
  &lt;?php endif; ?&gt;
  
  </code></pre>
  <p>This returns the correct title but the wrong featured image (from the post above).</p>
  <p>The code above is called inside the loop on index.php inside the featured template part.</p>
  <pre><code>$counter = 1;
                  /* Start the Loop */
                  while ( have_posts() ) :
                      the_post();
  
                  /*
                   * Include the Post-Type-specific template for the content.
                   * If you want to override this in a child theme, then include a file
                   * called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Type name) and that will be used instead.
                   */
                  get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'get_post_type()' );
  
                  //check the counter and display your content
                  if( $counter === 3 &amp;&amp; !is_paged() ) { ?&gt;
                      
                      &lt;?php get_template_part('template-parts/components/component', 'subscribe'); ?&gt;
                  
                  &lt;?php } elseif ( $counter === 6 &amp;&amp; !is_paged() ) { ?&gt;
                      
                      &lt;?php get_template_part('template-parts/components/component', 'featured'); ?&gt;
  
                  &lt;?php }
  
                  //update the counter on every loop
                  $counter++;
  
              endwhile;
  
  </code></pre>
  <p>I have tried the other code examples on the documentation page but those return all of my posts (again with only one thumbnail, not the correct thumbnail per post).</p>
  <p>I am not sure where to go from here.</p>
  <p>Anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
