Repeater field returns nothing from a Template

This code is working great on my template

   <div>

							<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
                
                
                                <?php 
                
                                // check for rows (parent repeater)
                                if( have_rows('niche_page_side_nav') ): ?>
                                    <div id="to-do-lists">
                                    <?php 
                
                                    // loop through rows (parent repeater)
                                    while( have_rows('niche_page_side_nav') ): the_row(); ?>
                                        <div>
                                            <h2 class="ListHeader"><?php the_sub_field('links_nav_header'); ?></h2>
                                            <?php

                                                while( have_rows('nav_links_list') ): the_row();

                                                <?php endwhile; ?>

I then load the template with :

<?php load_template( ‘wp-content/themes/modestclothes/SideBarNav.php’ ); ?>

However, when I try and call the template that it is in it returns nothing. I know that the template is being called accurately because other information from that template is displaying. However, the repeater field data is not displaying.

The question is, what’s in SideBarNav.php, or is that the code you posted?

If that’s the code you posted, is the template loaded inside or outside of the main loop on the page?

That is the code that is in SideBarNav.php

I’m not quite sure if it is loaded inside or outside the main loop. As bad as it sounds I’m not sure which is considered the main loop.

So, I will post the code for the whole page here. This is code from the page the the template is being inserted into

You will see <?php load_template( ‘wp-content/themes/modestclothes/SideBarNav.php’ ); ?>

in the code below where the template should be loaded.

<?php

Actually, I just copied and pasted the code you just posted into an editor and tried to find load_template and could not find it.

Sorry, I forgot that I copied the code from the template and started working on it directly in the page.

Here is the code with the load template function in it.

<?php
/**
Template Name: Niche Page Template
 */
?>
  
  
  
  <?php get_header(); ?>
  
   <section id="PageContainer">
   
     
     <section style="background-image:url(<?php the_field("niche_header_banner_image"); ?>); background-size:cover; background-repeat:no-repeat;" id="NicheHeaderImage">
     
     <h1 id="NicheH1" class="MaxWidth"><?php the_field("niche_header_title");?></h1>
     </section>
     
     <section id="BannerHeaderSec" class="MaxWidth">
     
     <a href="<?php the_field("horizontal_banner_ad_url"); ?>"><img src="<?php the_field("horizontal_header_banner_ad_image"); ?>" alt=""/></a>

Your main loop starts with this line

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

and ends with the matching

<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

Your problem is that most of your calls get_field() and other ACF functions is outside the loop, so the current $post->ID value may or may not be used. If you use ACF functions outside of "The Loop" then you must supply the post ID when calling ACF functions. Not using adding the post ID outside the loop will have unpredictable results.

You can get the current post ID outside of the loop using
```
$post_id = 0;
$queried_object = get_queried_object();
if (isset($queried_object->ID)) {
  $post_id = $queried_object->ID
}
$post_id = $queried_object->ID;
```
then call ACF functions like

$value = get_field('my_field_name', $post_id);

If you look at the first code that I posted which is in the template it appears to me that the fields are inside the main loop.

And with all of the functions that I’m using none of them in the template use the get_field()

They all use have_rows() and/or the_sub_field()

Also, I’m not trying to get the current post ID. I have a very specific post ID that I want to use and it is the same for every post.

get_field, have_rows, most fields all work the same. They assume the post_id of the current post. Using them outside the loop without supplying the post ID is an incorrect way to use them.

If, like you say, you don’t want to use the current post ID then even more so you should be supplying the post ID if you want to get values from a specific post.

Going back to the fist code of the template you posted, if you want to use a specific post ID then what query is this looping over?

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

Plus, there is a second loop in the template code after you include your template.

At the top of the template there is this code

<section style="background-image:url(<?php the_field("niche_header_banner_image"); ?>); ....
This is outside the loop, it may be returning the value from the current post, or it may not, it’s using whatever WP considers to be the post ID at this point, which could change based on code that has run before this is called. If this field is attached to a specific post then you need to supply the post ID. The post ID could be 'options' if this is on an options page.

All I can go by is the code that you supplied so far, you need to start at the top of the page template and ensure you’re calling the ACF function properly.

I hope you know I’m not trying to be difficult I just didn’t understand what you were saying. To me it appears that the ACF functions are inside the loop and the problem is that they are calling using the ID of the current post page when I want them to use the ID of the get_template_part post.

Are you saying that the ACF functions are outside of the loop because they have php tags around them??

I did based my code off of this page which didn’t query any specific post
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/working-with-nested-repeaters/

Anyways, I figured it out based on the comments that you made. I was calling using the ID of the wrong current post vs the ID of the post template which I was loading.

I added this at the beginning of that loop
```
<?php 
		query_posts('post_id=65');
							
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); 
?>
```
Then I reset the loop <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> and it’s working great.

thanks!

You’re not being difficult. What I’m trying to say is that the problems that your seeing in this template that you’re trying to create are a symptom of a larger issues with the template where it’s included. I’m not sure if it’s a nesting problem, if you’re main loop is starting in the wrong place or if you are trying to get values from somewhere other than the post that the page is for. But until you get the problems with the template for Template Name: Niche Page Template corrected you will not be able to get the other template problem fixed.

Putting aside the template that you originally posted about and looking at the template field where it is included.

This is your code from the template. I have made it a bit easier for myself to read and I’ve added plenty of comments where there are problems with its flow and nesting.

          if you are getting this value from a specific post
          then you should specify that posts ID
          if you are getting this value from the current post
          then this should be inside "The Loop"
