I have found this post that covers putting flex content inside a repeater, but I’ll be damned if I can get it to work.

I continually get an error related to line 45 here (Codepen link).

What am I missing?

Thanks

Hi @opus13

Could you check that CodePen link? Not sure you remembered to include it 🙂

Aha! Figured it out… kind of.

I am obviously quite new at this, and ACF Theme Code pro saved my ass.

It all comes down to having separate endif/endwhile/else for each tier of calls

Hi,
I am using a flexible content field within that I took a repeater field which is working fine, then I choose to have flexible content field, now the problem is I am not able to add more than 2 layouts by back-end. Whenever I add 1 more field, page gets updated but flexible content field is not added, but I am able to add normal fields anywhere.

I am not quite sure i understand your configuration —

Form what I gather: You have a flexcontent field with repeaters inside. If you add more than 1 flexcontent entry none of the output shows. is that correct?

After playing with it a bit here is a setup that works.

Sceenshots:
ACF fields setup
Creating the post
The posts output

And this is the code put into single.php before the end of the have_posts() loop

<?php if ( have_rows( 'flex_holder' ) ): ?>
	<?php while ( have_rows( 'flex_holder' ) ) : the_row(); ?>
		<?php if ( get_row_layout() == 'repeater_holder' ) : ?>
			<?php if ( have_rows( 'repeater' ) ) : ?>
				<?php while ( have_rows( 'repeater' ) ) : the_row(); ?>
					<?php the_sub_field( 'repeater_field_1' ); ?>
					<?php the_sub_field( 'repeater_field_2' ); ?>
				<?php endwhile; ?>
			<?php else : ?>
				<?php // no rows found ?>
			<?php endif; ?>
		<?php endif; ?>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else: ?>
	<?php // no layouts found ?>
<?php endif; ?>
