the_sub_field as condition

Seems pretty simple, can’t see why this isn’t working . . .

I have a repeater field “states” that contains a subfield “state”

Based on a cookie value I want to display some stuff if the cookie value == state ( basically go through the sub_field array and display if it contains a value equalling the cookie value, i.e., CA == CA )

What is happening is that all the subfield values are being displayed on the page, my inner code doesn’t fire at all.

<?php
      // the PRODUCT LOOP
      $location = $_COOKIE['location-set'];
      $product_query = new WP_Query(array(
          'post_type'         => 'products',
          'posts_per_page'    => -1,
          'meta_key'          =>'order',
          'orderby'           =>'meta_value_num',
          'order'             =>'ASC',
      ));
      if( $product_query->have_posts() ) :
          while ( $product_query->have_posts() ) : $product_query->the_post();
              if( get_field( 'states' ) ):
                 while( has_sub_field( 'states' ) ):
                      if( the_sub_field( 'state' ) == $location ) : 
                           //display my stuff
                      endif;
                  endwhile;
              endif;
          endwhile;
      endif;
      wp_reset_query();  
  ?>

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Change the_sub_field to get_sub_field.

Sometimes it just takes another set of eyes on it. 🙂
