Hi John
I’ve now had some time to do some digging. I can reproduce the problem with my repeater field called “fields”, which is attached both to option pages and to cdertain custom posts.
There is some difference between the paths through my code, but I am stumped what is going on. Perhaps some initialisation is not complete in one case but is complete in the other.
Anyhow, in one case, get_field(‘fields’, ‘option’) returns the value 8. And in the other it returns an array of sub-fields. I stuck some debugging code into ACF’s get_fields function in api_template.php. The two cases look like this:
get_field fields
array(23) {
["ID"]=>
int(3220)
["key"]=>
string(19) "field_553bf4f728d48"
["label"]=>

Please give me a hint what I need to look for in my code. Or maybe I can call something to force ACF to initialise fully?
Thanks
