Reply To: Gallery Field inside a Repeater field

I figured it out. Here’s how to use galleries inside a repeater field:

BASIC TIP: Do not use “get_field” or “the_field” inside a repeater. Instead use “the_sub_field” and “get_sub_field” instead.

The following code will work assuming you:

– Created a repeater called “gallery-repeater”.
– Created a text field inside that repeater called “gallery-name”.
– Created a gallery inside that repeater called “gallery-images”.

<!-- CHECK OUT REPEATER "gallery-repeater" -->
<?php if( have_rows('gallery-repeater') ): ?>

   <!-- CHECK TO SEE IF IT HAS ROWS IN IT -->
   <?php while ( have_rows('gallery-repeater') ) : the_row(); ?>

     <!-- DISPLAY THE TEXT-FIELD THEN ASSIGN OUR GALLERY TO VARIABLE $images -->
     <?php the_sub_field('gallery-name'); 

     $images = get_sub_field('gallery-images'); 

     if( $images ):?>
        <?php foreach( $images as $image ): ?>
	   <a href="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>">
	      <img src="<?php echo $image['sizes']['thumbnail']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" />
           </a>
           <p><?php echo $image['caption']; ?></p>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
     <?php endif; 
   endwhile;
else :
// no rows found
endif; ?>

It’s not styled so it’s really bare.

! Careful not to mix up PHP (if then else) code and HTML code.
