I’m not sure if we’re on the same page. My problem is specificially with ACF Repeater fields. And yes, the fields are there & have content, they are output on the page. But I cannot count them with “count()”.

The repeater code as per ACF example:

<?php

// Check rows exists.
if( have_rows('repeater_field_name') ):

    // Loop through rows.
    while( have_rows('repeater_field_name') ) : the_row();

        // Load sub field value.
        $sub_value = get_sub_field('sub_field');
        // Do something...

    // End loop.
    endwhile;

// No value.
else :
    // Do something...
endif;

Now if I add count “$count = count(get_field(‘repeater_field_name’) );” , it doesn’t work:

<?php

// Check rows exists.
if( have_rows('repeater_field_name') ):

$count = count(get_field('repeater_field_name') );

    // Loop through rows.
    while( have_rows('repeater_field_name') ) : the_row();

        // Load sub field value.
        $sub_value = get_sub_field('sub_field');
        // Do something...

    // End loop.
    endwhile;

// No value.
else :
    // Do something...
endif;

My question – what code do I need to count how many repeats I have?
