Hi @nitins

1. Use the get_posts function to return all the posts you want
2. Loop over the posts
3. For each post, update the value

To update the value, either use a WP function such as update_post_meta or the ACF function update_field.

Please note that update_field will only work to update a repeater field, not a sub field within a repeater.

actually in my project, everytime a post is opened, a single sub-field is displayed based on some logic.. and everytime it is being displayed, a counter in that gets incremented.. In order to increment the counter, I need to update only that particular sub-field, keeping all others same… is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Hi @nitins

Yes, it is possible to update a sub field via the comment I left above.

Your last comment is hard to understand. Perhaps you can elaborate more clearly to what exactly you would like to do step by step

Thanks
