I’m having similar issues where repeater fields are not working in a widget. I creates a repeater called logos, and places it in a footer widget. It only contains 3 small logos and all fields have short names.
It works on all pages, posts, archives etc….
But then when you do a search, they are missing from the search results page.
How would I query widget fields directly like you can do posts with get_post_meta()?
Thanks.
