Handling repeater data

Try: $fields = get_field("updates_list"). And then print_r to see what’s inside. You should have a nice looking array with all repeater fields and values inside. Then, stop using have_rows and get_row and just loop using a foreach loop.

get_field() is usually used to retrieve a unique field, but because it’s a repeater field you get all the sub_fields with it. As long as you know how to get values from the array, you don’t need the acf loop functions.
