You need a mysql editor or edit the mysql table format with something like Sequel pro for OS X…

The problem I had was that the field “length” as described in my previous post was set too low from standard wordpress install. The field was capping the repeater field from entering the full length. Set it to 255, and you’re set. Im not sure which field anyone.. Haven’t had a fresh install in a month or two. Good luck
