Hi there…

I’m trying to create a php loop that cheecks if rows exist and if they do not display text such as ‘Sorry no rows’. My repeater is nested, meaning a repeater inside a repeater.

Thanks in advance!

Here’s the code I have thats not working…

<?php if( have_rows('add_career_opportunities', 'option') ): ?>

<div id="career-single">

    <?php while( have_rows('add_career_opportunities', 'option') ): the_row();

    //Variables
    $title = get_sub_field('job_title');
    $description = get_sub_field('job_description', 'option'); ?>

        <h2 id="job-title">
            <?php echo $title; ?>
        </h2>

        <p id="job-description">
            <?php echo $description; ?>
        </p>

        <h3 id="job-requirements-heading">
            Requirements
        </h3>

        <?php if( have_rows('job_requirements', 'option')): ?>

            <ul id="job-requirements">

                <?php while( have_rows('job_requirements', 'option') ): the_row();

                $requirement = get_sub_field('job_requirement', 'option'); ?>

                <li>
                    <?php echo $requirement; ?>
                </li>

            <?php endwhile; ?>
            </ul>

        <?php else:
            echo '<h1>Sorry, we are not currently hiring. Please check back often for new opportunities with DesRosiers Architects!</h1>';
        endif; ?>
        </div>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Hi @robertrhu

I have just tried a simplified version of a similar repeater loop and the if else conditional seems to work as expected.

Would you mind sharing a JSON export of your field settings so that I can test this out using the same configuration?

And a little additional info…

1. Its not kicking an error
2.Rather its simply not printing the <?php else code:
<h1>Sorry, we are not currently hiring. Please check back often for new opportunities with DesRosiers Architects!</h1>
