Hi @matt
I’m not sure why, but it seems the old posts has repeater row that is set to “1” in the database. This tells ACF that the repeater has 1 row and show it on the backend. Could you please confirm this behavior by checking the old and new posts repeater data in the wp_postmeta table?
If that’s the case, then the only thing you can do is to remove it manually.
@krutakee
I believe your issue is because your fields have the Required? option set to “Yes”. To fix it, could you please set it to “No”?
Thanks 🙂
