I want to have a lot of rows in my repeater. The data is fairly simple – just the number of rows is high. I’ve applied several fixes but sooner or later I’m going to run out of memory problems that I can’t get around. The “simple” solution (as I understand it – I could be completely wrong) would be to paginate (e.g. split up) the repeater on back end so you only save the most recent bits.
This thread (2017) https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/repeater-memory-problem/#post-145588 – says it’s on the to do list. I’ve searched but all the results for pagination I find are on the back end which is not the issue.
Or is there an alternative to repeaters for a lot of rows? Something which I’m not aware of at all?
Thank you.
There is not solution, as far as I am aware, to paginate a repeater on the edit screen.
Usually, if you have many rows, it is better to use either a custom post type or a taxonomy to hold the data, but that all depends on what the data is.
