Hi @yavisht

I think your code is good enough. You can also move it so the repeater is updated before you’re trying to show it like this:

if( !have_rows('quick_links', 'user_' . $user_id) ){
    $updated_value = array(
        array("icon"=>"fa-align-justify","title"=>"Link 1","link"=>"http://www.hotmail.com"),
        array("icon"=>"fa-align-justify","title"=>"Link 2","link"=>"http://www.google.com"),
        array("icon"=>"fa-align-justify","title"=>"Link 3","link"=>"http://www.yahoo.com"),
    );
      
    update_field('quick_links', $updated_value , 'user_' . $user_id);
}

if( have_rows('quick_links', 'user_' . $user_id) ):

    // loop through the rows of data
    while ( have_rows('quick_links', 'user_' . $user_id) ) : the_row();

        // Testing field output
        the_sub_field('icon', 'user_' . $user_id);
        echo "<br />";
        the_sub_field('title', 'user_' . $user_id);
        echo "<br />";
        the_sub_field('link', 'user_' . $user_id);
        echo "<br />";
        echo "<br />";
    endwhile;

endif;

I hope this helps 🙂
