I have this code:
while (have_rows('field_5cd93150df3cf' , 'options')) {
the_row();
delete_row('field_5cd93150df3cf', get_row_index(), 'options');
}
It only seems to delete a few rows at a time rather than looping through all of them, it seems to work fine on pages that have an id, but using the ‘options’ selector doesn’t seem to work so well.
My guess is the way you are attempting to delete the rows. Let’s say that your repeater has 6 rows. After deleting the first 3 it only has 3 rows and calling have_rows() the 4th time returns false because there is no longer a 4th row. However, this is just a guess.
if this is the case then I would amend the code I posted in the other topic https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-programmatically-delete-all-repeater-rows/ to this to delete the rows starting at the end instead of the beginning.
$images = get_field('images');
if (!empty($images)) {
$count = count($images);
for ($index=$count; $index>0; $index--) {
delete_row('images', $index);
}
}
I second the opinion that deleting rows is not working for a Repeater field in a OPTIONS page.
CHRIIIIIST!
I was using options, the correct post_id is option.
It’s the same issue as the guy in the main thread.
I ended up using: while(delete_row('my_repeater_field', 1, 'option'));
Notice it’s option! Not options!!
In my case there was one more thing.
I was updating another field from the same Option page. I created another Option page just for this field, outside the same option page. After this, everything I’ve been trying to do in the past 6h just started to work.
