Repeater Field will not Display First Item

Hey there. I’m working on a multi section site using Flexible content. I’m familiar with repeaters and have used them all throughout my site. This one has me stumped.

I can’t seem to get it to display the first field-set. No matter what I do.

I can reorder the fields and get that one to display if it’s not first, but then whatever IS first disappears.

Here’s a collection of images from my dev environment.

I do hope you can help. This is driving me batty as it defies all logic. :C

I finally solved this.

I made the mistake with the next repeater I wrote too.

Here’s the code I HAD

<?php if(have_rows('events_repeater')): the_row();?>
        
     <?php while(have_rows('events_repeater')): the_row();?>

If you leave the_row off of BOTH of those lines you’ll get a page that loads garbage forever.

If you have the_row ON BOTH of those, then the first item does not appear.

You need it on only the “while”

<?php if(have_rows('events_repeater')): ();?>
        
     <?php while(have_rows('events_repeater')): the_row();?>
