  • @graphix,

    Thanks for some pointers, but unfortunately this isn’t working for me. I’m curious if it’s because I’m using a Flexible Content Type vs a Repeater?

    I’m able to get the saving to work via WordPress’ update_post_meta function, just using 

    
    $label = 'content_type_'.$this_count.'_label_label';
    $subtitle = 'content_type_'.$this_count.'_label_subtitle';
    update_post_meta( $post_id, $label, $the_content['label']);

    However, I worry that when new content types and repeaters are added in this manner, they may not be ‘registered’ with ACF. I feel I’m missing something important in the structure of my code, as it seems to work for everyone but me!

    From some fiddling, get_fields actually shows me that there is a ‘new’ field added in for each of the groups I updated, e.g.

    
//before updating label in group label
content_type_label_label => ''

    becomes

    
//after updating label in group label
content_type_label_0_label => 'test',
content_type_label_label => ''

    Or something to that effect.
