Thanks everyone for the help but it didn’t work so I re-did everything by adding another flexible content field inside another flexible content field like this:

– IRL today data (flexible content)
– Website (flexible content)
– Image
– Social (flexible content)
– Text field

Now I’m trying to find a way to count items inside an array. For example, when I run a print_r:

    <pre>
    <?php print_r(get_field('irl_today_entry', $post_id));?>
    </pre>

It prints out:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [acf_fc_layout] => irl_today_website_entry
            [irl_today_website] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (
                            [acf_fc_layout] => irl_today_img_website
                            [image_of_website] => http://soundboard.local/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/FireShot-Capture-003-Apple-Google-Pull-Hong-Kong-Protest-Apps-Amid-China-Uproar-WSJ_-www.wsj_.com_.png
                        )

                    [1] => Array
                        (
                            [acf_fc_layout] => irl_today_img_website
                            [image_of_website] => http://soundboard.local/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/FireShot-Capture-005-Apple-CEO-Tim-Cook-defends-decision-to-remove-an-app-used-by-Hong-Kon_-www.cnn_.com_.png
                        )

                )

        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [acf_fc_layout] => irl_today_social_entry
            [irl_today_social] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (
                            [acf_fc_layout] => irl_today_social_media
                            [social_media_network] => twitter
                            [social_media_username] => randouser
                            [text_of_social_media] => text removed
                            [url_to_social_media_post] => 
                            [social_media_date_published] => 
                        )

                    [1] => Array
                        (
                            [acf_fc_layout] => irl_today_social_media
                            [social_media_network] => twitter
                            [social_media_username] => randouser
                            [text_of_social_media] => text removed
                            [social_media_date_published] => 
                        )

                )

        )

)

How do I count the items in [irl_today_social] without using any number?
