Disregard this, I was looking at the “text” tab of the wysiwyg, rather than the “visual”. My (incredibly stupid) mistake.
After more Googling around, I found this:
http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/repeater-field-broken-when-using-category-php-file/
I already had something similar in my functions.php, but it obviously wasn’t quite right. This is the correct code:
//Include CPT In Categories Pages
function namespace_add_custom_types( $query ) {
if( is_category() || is_tag() && empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) {
$post_types = get_post_types( '', 'names' );
$query->set( 'post_type', $post_types);
return $query;
}
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'namespace_add_custom_types');
Still, respect for the help ractoon!
Still nothing, weirdly it doesn’t fire anything from within that init function. Maybe that only works in functions.php?
After some searching I found this post: http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/repeater-on-options-page-returns-count/
Which doesn’t directly apply to me as the code isn’t in functions.php, but it does imply that the repeater field “is not yet loaded and can’t run it’s custom load_value logic”.
I made the category page template in question (category-music.php) after installing ACF and creating the fields, do I have to register the new templates somehow?
Thanks for the reply, I updated the syntax, still works on homepage.php but not category.php
Weirdly when I dump the video_slider field on the category page I get this:
string(1) "2"
the “2” bit seems to be a count of the array, when there are three rows the dump updates to:
string(1) "3"
When I run the same dump code on homepage.php it returns the data correctly.
I seem to be able to get other standard text option fields on category.php, maybe it’s a combination of it being an option and a repeater field?
