Hiya! I’ve been using acf for all my site builds – it’s truly the best. But I just ran into a snag and I can’t quite figure it out, so I thought I’d inquire here.
I have a page with 6 tabs, each with a repeater field underneath (so 6 repeaters). Each repeater has 3 sub-fields (2 text fields and a checkbox). There’s historical data for these fields (about 400 entries) that I have in a spreadsheet, and because I’m not a masochist I chose to import them into the db via a sql query, rather than enter them in one by one. Then I updated the meta_value for the field to the right # and voila, everything is showing up perfect!
HOWEVER (cue dramatic music), when I try to modify these entries now, the database doesn’t seem to be affected. I delete, add, modify the text, hit “Update” and the page refreshes and none of my changes take.
I tested my process using only 5 entries instead of the ~400, and when I imported a small number of rows it seems to work fine. So my hunch is that there’s some glitch that happens when you have more than n number of repeater rows? Or am I missing something obvious?
Let me know! The client needs to be able to add rows in the future, so having it static like this won’t work, I’m afraid. Any help/suggestions would be great! Thanks!
