  • Ah, duh! I think I was thinking I needed to because the Modern Tribe shortcode for The Events Calendar was just rendering as text and not working as a shortcode… so I was thinking I had to do something more.

    I’m realizing now that the shortcode isn’t working because we don’t have the PRO version of the Events Calendar Plugin: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/shortcodes/

    Thanks for the response.

  • Does this work if you have a shortcode in a WYSIWYG field that is in an ACF flexible content field? I’m not having any luck with it.

  • Glad it helped!

  • When you find your own confirmation of the solution from the same problem 6 months ago…

    https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/count-repeater-items/

    “Have to make the count before “have_rows””

  • I am also having this exact issue. I have a flexible content field and one of the options is a repeater. I want to know how many items are in the repeater in order to set a class, but it’s returning “1” instead of what should be “2” or “3.”

  • @martinkolle — THANK YOU. This was driving me bonkers (always getting 1 on a nested repeater within a flexible content field. This worked.

  • I totally forgot about this… may have to reference it myself sometime, ha!

  • I also just ran into this — and this is the second time. I can’t remember how I solved it the first time, but I don’t think it had anything to do with URE. This time, though, deactivating URE does help.

  • Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate the help. I will spend some time reviewing this.

  • I’m also looking to solve a similar problem: I would like a select field to populate some text fields with related data. (My Select field is populated with custom taxonomy items, each of which have custom fields. I want their custom field data to populate the text fields.).

    Any luck with this?

  • Hello,
    I am having the same problem. And I have removed my line — the one calling the relationship field — and without it the archive page works fine. It’s definitely the relationship field. I’ve tried both ways of querying/displaying relationship fields, too.

    Any ideas on this?

  • I have used ACF on custom sites a number of times since November 2013 and haven’t run into this issue before. But I did today… using PRO. Maybe the issue exists in the PRO version?

  • I was able to figure it out thanks to this:http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/78826/inserting-gravity-form-checkbox-values-into-advanced-custom-fields

    One thing I ran into is that if I needed the serialized value for a field, the “get_post_custom_values” function worked. Otherwise, the ACF “get_field” function was what I needed for other types of fields. 

    add_action("gform_after_submission_2", "acf_post_submission", 10, 2);

function acf_post_submission ($entry, $form)
{
	$post_id = $entry["post_id"];
	
	// funding status
	$values = get_field("reviewer_funding_status", $post_id); 
	echo "<br />reviewer_funding_status: " . $values;
	update_field("field_519f97aab12f7", $values, $post_id);
			
	// rating - overall
	$values = get_field("rating_overall", $post_id); 
	echo "<br />rating_overall: " . $values;
	update_field("field_519f989ab12f8", $values, $post_id);
	
	// rating - clarity of mission
	$values = get_field("rating_clarity_of_mission", $post_id); 
	echo "<br />rating_clarity_of_mission: " . $values;
	update_field("field_520be9eac3f72", $values, $post_id);
	
	// rating - communications
	$values = get_field("rating_communications", $post_id); 	
	echo "<br />rating_communications: " . $values;
	update_field("field_519f98d4b12f9", $values, $post_id);
	
	// rating - evaluation
	$values = get_field("rating_evaluation", $post_id); 
	echo "<br />rating_evaluation: " . $values;
	update_field("field_520be9fdc3f73", $values, $post_id);					
	
        // funder ID
	$values = get_post_custom_values("funder_id", $post_id);
	echo "<br />funder_id - serialized: " . $values;	
	update_field("field_519f996ce16ca", $values, $post_id);
}

  • Thanks, I’ll give this a try!

  • Thanks, Elliot! I will give this a shot.

  • All right, I think I found all the connections…

    We’ve got:

    1. Original custom post in wp_posts with post_type = ‘publication’, in my case. In my example, the ID = 1171.
    2. File is stored in wp_posts as well with post_type = ‘attachment’. I see post_parent = 1171 and ID = 1264.
    3. File is associated with the correct field a) in the wp_postmeta table with a post_id = 1264 and a meta_key = ‘_wp_attached_file’. The meta_id = 6000.
    4. AND in b) the wp_postmeta table with a post_id = 1171 and meta_key = ‘publication_download_file’ (my field name) and a meta_value = 1264

  • I found it… The file is stored in the wp_posts table as a post_type of attachment and a post_parent ID of the record in question. I think I’m still missing something, though, because I still don’t see how it is tied to the field itself…

  • Today I ran into more “not saving” issues. I made a screenr video so you can see: http://www.screenr.com/96pH

    BUT THEN. It occurred to me that maybe WP Engines caching was affecting this somehow. I “purged all caches” and then things started saving. I’m asking them about it, but I’m thinking maybe that was the issue, not something with ACF.

  • Another, possibly related one:

    I created a field. Then I renamed it and moved it. It stayed in the new location just fine. Then I decided to rename it again. Each time I renamed it and Updated the field group it did not save. Until save #4. Then it did. Again, no Firebug errors.

  • Yes, of course. 🙂

  • Just ran into one of the issues I’d seen before. I drag and drop a new field from the bottom to a new location, but it doesn’t save. There are no errors in Firebug.

  • Sorry, didn’t think to save those… will add them next time I run into anything.

  • Okay, this works. But, holy schnikes, that’s a lot of work for one little list!

        endif;
        
        // Reset Query
        wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</select>

  • Also, to clarify, the value I’m getting back for the presenter in that $presenter_data query is a serialized item like this:

    a:1{i:0;s:2:"71";}

    71 is the ID I’m trying to get. I realize I could use some PHP to manipulate this, just seems like there must be a better way.

  • So, later on, I realized that this is not the right way to go about it. Really what I want is a subset of a CPT called “staff.” I want to get the staff who are presenters on my CPT called “presentations.”

    Therefore, it seems like I should do a query on “staff” but just get the ones whose ID is used in the presentations. Right?

    $args = array(
	'post_type'	=> 'staff-members',
	'posts_per_page'     => -1,					
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'order' => 'ASC',
	'orderby' => 'title',
	'post__in' => $presenter_id_list												
);

    However, this starts getting way more complicated than it seems like it should… in order to get the $presentation_id_list data, I can get the distinct list of presenters here:

    $presenter_data = $wpdb->get_col( 
"SELECT DISTINCT wp_postmeta.meta_value FROM wp_posts 
INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id)
WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_type = 'presentations' AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish') AND (wp_postmeta.meta_key = 'presenters' ) 
GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ");

    But that gives me an array of the serialized “presenter” relationship field. How do I get at the ID in that relationship field??? This seems like it is getting way more complicated than it needs to be. Am I missing something?

    Thanks!
