I have an image repeater on a site. Without adding anything to the field, the site is automatically adding 2 rows and will not allow me to delete them. There is no requirement or minimum number so I’m stuck here.
What happens when you try to delete them?
Did you build the site?
No it was built by someone else but I’m hosting it now. The fields delete when I hit the remove button but when I hit update they come right back.
You need to search the code on the site. More than likely there is a filter that is automatically adding the rows when the repeater value is loaded. It could be on the hooks acf/load_value. acf/load_field or acf/prepare_field. There might be others. This is the only way that rows could be automatically added when the repeater field settings does not have a minimum number of rows. I would search the theme for all ACF hooks to see what I could find, but I can’t really tell you exactly what to search for.
The previous developer must have had a reason for doing this. I would also be looking at the code to figure out why. Removing them might cause errors depending on how it is coded.
