Hi,

I would like to get the below code to show either “school-life-video” row of data with the html and sub fields etc or the “school-life-link” row. But i can’t seem to make the if or if else work.

Can anyone help out please?

<?php
                        // loop through the rows of data
                            if( have_rows('school_life_holder') ):
                                    
                                    
                                    
                            
                            // add a counter
                              $count = 0;
                              $group = 0;

 	                      
                                while ( have_rows('school_life_holder') ) : the_row();
                                    
                            
                           if ($count % 3 == 0) {
                              $group++;
                                 ?>
                                    <div id="<?php echo $group; ?>" class="row group-<?php echo $group; ?>" data-equalizer> <!--Begin Row:-->

I have created this using “flexible Content” & Repeaters to choose between “link” or “video” option as each block is entered.

I think you might need to close off a endif; down the bottom somewhere.
personally I go with brackets for long if else statements that way I can see whats opened and closed easier

I’m also confused about a closing div div tag down the bottom in the if count % 3 == 2. does this need to be outside the the link if?

I Managed to workout out, I had renamed the label on the flexible content, which ACF pro dosnt like, i had to create a new flexible content area and then re populate it. And i included the missing column container missing.

The Last Endif was needed so thank you ichabod1799
