Hi there,
I’m trying to get a field from a repeater row, and then save a field inside the repeater row every time a page is loaded. The field I’m trying to save is a number field inside a repeater and the repeater is on an options page rather than associated with a post.
To do this I made the following:
$right_margin = $specific_row['sponsor_right_margin_image' ];
$size = 'full';
if($right_margin) {
echo '<div class="rightmargin">' . wp_get_attachment_image( $right_margin, $size ) . '</div>';
$No_Of_Times_Margins_Loaded = $specific_row['sponsor_no_of_times_margins_loaded' ];
$No_Of_Times_Margins_Loaded++;
update_sub_row( array('sponsors', 1, 'no_of_times_margins_loaded'), 1, $No_Of_Times_Margins_Loaded );
}
However, this doesn’t seem to work. Am I using the right function or should I be using update_sub_field?
You need to supply the post ID
update_sub_row( array('sponsors', 1, 'no_of_times_margins_loaded'), 1, $No_Of_Times_Margins_Loaded, 'options' );

Hi John
I have tried your solution but it didn’t seem to work. Would there be any obvious reason why not?
Thanks!
Going to be honest, I’ve never used the function. The only thing that I can think of is that repeater/row/sub field does not already exist where you are attempting to updated it.
If this is the case then you should use field keys rather than field names.
Would it make a difference if I’m using the above code in a page template rather than in the functions.php file?
It should not as long as you specify the post ID (in this case options or whatever you options page post ID is set to) when updating the fields there.
I have now solved this. In the end, it was a combination of using the wrong function and not using the keys as John mentioned. The final line ended up being
update_sub_field(array('field_6064394540d2c', 1, 'field_609d2cad7f0b2'), $number, 'options');
