Hi @chandru998

Thanks for clarifying.
You could accomplish this with some simple PHP. Thinking about it, I would like to create a video tutorial on this topic as it would be a very good demonstration of how to use basic PHP with a repeater field.

Until I create the video, you can write this yourself by using a $_GET parameter in the url to set the ‘page’ number.

eg: ?page=2

In your code, use a variable to hold how many rows per page like so:

$rows_per_page = 5;

Then in your repeater field loop, you can add in a conditional statement like so:

<?php 

// vars
$rows_per_page = 5;
$page = 1;
$i = 0;

// read $page from url param
if( !empty($_GET['page']) )
{
	$page = $_GET['page'];
}

// vars
$min = $page * $rows_per_page;
$max = $min + $rows_per_page;

if( have_rows('repeater') ):
 
    while( have_rows('repeater') ): the_row(); $i++;
	
		// ignore this row, if $i is lower than $min
		if( $i < $min )
		{
			continue;
		}
		
		
		// stop loop completely, if $i is higher than $max
		if( $i > $max )
		{
			break;
		}
		
		
        // Your loop code
        the_sub_field('sub_field');
        
 
    endwhile;
 
else :
 
    // no rows found
 
endif;

?>

Hope that helps.

Thanks
