Thanks @john i really appreciate that!

I am still having trouble getting it to work. I first tried a few of the code examples from that link:

  <?php
            $rows = get_field('product_categories_icons');
            if($rows)
            {
                echo '<ul>';

                foreach($rows as $row)
                {
                echo '<li>sub_field_1 = ' . $row['name'] . ', sub_field_2 = ' . $row['link'] .', etc</li>';
                }

                echo '</ul>';
            }
            ?>

            <?php if(get_field('product_categories_icons')): ?>
                <ul>
                <?php while(has_sub_field('product_categories_icons')): ?>
                    <li>sub_field_1 = <?php the_sub_field('name'); ?>, sub_field_2 = <?php the_sub_field('icon'); ?>, etc</li>
                <?php endwhile; ?>
                </ul>
            <?php endif; ?>

Neither of which shows anything on the page. The site is on WPE and i have been clearing the cache with every try.

Also i do not at the moment have access to the database which would be helpful for me just to confirm what’s coming from where (since ACF is implemented in both places like i mentioned.)

So i am looking at other pages’ ACF code and am trying to emulating that. I have added this new field i am trying to display to the acf-register-field-groups.php as there are fields that only exist there, not in the GUI ACF, that are working and on pages.

I am spending hours on this which is crazy, but there’s still something i am not doing right or seeing.

Lastly i tried this:

<?php if(get_field('product_categories_icons')) : ?>
                <?php echo '<h1>true</h1>'; ?> 
                <?php while(has_sub_field('product_categories_icons')): ?>
                    <li>icon = <?php echo get_sub_field('icon'); ?>
                    name = <?php echo get_sub_field('name'); ?></li>
                    <li>icon = <?php echo the_field('icon'); ?>
                    name = <?php echo the_field('name'); ?></li> 
                    <li>name = <?php echo the_sub_field('name'); ?>
                    icon = <?php echo the_sub_field('icon'); ?></li>
                <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

And since <?php echo '<h1>true</h1>'; ?> doesn’t print under the if something higher up is restricting this field’s display.

If you have any ideas i’m all ears.

Thanks!
