FYI I am VERY new to ACF – I know nuttin’.
I am trying to move existing data – stored in a serialized array – into ACF. I have a group with a repeater field called Product Awards (product_awards, field_67d2d38ce2b16).
I am iterating over multiple posts and pulled the data from the old array to variables, then using add_row to move them to ACF.
$row = array(
'field_67d2d3a9e2b17' => $name,
'field_67d2d3bbe2b18' => $type,
'field_67d2d439e2b19' => $score,
'field_67d2d459e2b1a' => $year,
);
add_row('field_67d2d38ce2b16', $row,$prod_id );
}
I can see all the relevant data in the postmeta table, but nothing appears in the group form in admin when I edit the products.
I feel like I’m missing something – but I’ve no idea what. I fell like I need to create something before adding rows to it.
Any pointers much appreciated.
If anyone is looking to import bulk data using a plugin, I recently used the CSV Importer Plus for ACF plugin, which supports importing repeater rows.
