"Warning: Illegal string offset" after deleting all repeater entries

  • The below code works as intended (displays the first row of my repeater field) but if I delete all the repeater entries, I receive this error message:

    Warning: Illegal string offset ‘slides_slide-image’ in [PATH TO FILE] on *line 12

    *the line that starts with: $first_row_image

    Can anyone shed some light for me?

    <?php $args = array(
    	'post_type' => 'page',
    	'posts_per_page' => -1,
    	'orderby' => 'title',
    	'order' => 'ASC',
    	'post_parent' => 21
    );
    $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
    while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
    	$rows = get_field('slides' );
    	$first_row = $rows[0];
    	$first_row_image = $first_row['slides_slide-image' ];
    	$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $first_row_image, 'circle' );	
    ?>
    	<?php if ($rows) {  ?>
    		<div class="subdivision">
    		<?php if ($rows) {  ?>
    			<a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" /></a>
    		<?php } else {  ?>
    			<a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/_img/photo-coming-soon.png" /></a>
    		<?php } ?>
    			<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    		</div><!-- .subdivision -->
    <?php endwhile; ?>
  • You need to do a check to make sure that your operation returned a value. For example

    `
    $rows = get_field(‘slides’ );
    if (is_array($rows) && count($rows)) {
    $first_row = $rows[0];
    $first_row_image = $first_row[‘slides_slide-image’ ];
    $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $first_row_image, ‘circle’ );
    }

  • Right on! Thank you. I would not have figured that out 🙁 Looks to be working with your code. I really appreciate it!
