Default of _ for space fails with repeater

  ACF automatically replaces a space in the field label with an “_” when creating the field name. This is acceptable naming as per the notes on the screen.
  The problem I’m having is that not a single field would be recognized when using something as simple as – the_field(). It was impossible to return any values until either the “_” were removed or replace them with a “-” dash.

  Is this something I’m doing incorrectly?

  This was a clean install with:
  localhost (WAMP 2.4)
  WordPress 3.8.1
  Genesis – Version 2.0.2 (Framework)
  Dynamik Gen – Version 1.4.2 (Theme)
  Advanced Custom Fields – Version 4.3.4
  Advanced Custom Fields: Repeater Field – Version 1.1.1
  Custom Post Type UI – Version 0.8.2

  Hi @Lazy Entrepreneur

  Can you please elaborate more on your issue:
  The problem I’m having is that not a single field would be recognized when using something as simple as – the_field()

  What is the label of the field?
  What is the name of the field?
  What code are you using to get the value?

  Thanks
  E

  Hi Elliot

  I saw the ACF GitHUb change you made for the above issue:
  https://github.com/elliotcondon/acf/commit/268b02b45110ba27d1da8cdef296d67d5d96a0b2

  I’ve tested the fix and can confirm that ACF default field names with an “_” work for single fields, repeater fields, and repeater sub fields.

  Thanks for dealing with this so quickly.

  Cheers
