Howdy,

thank much for reporting this issue.

I fixed this in the development version you can download here:
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/advanced-custom-fields-table-field.zip

Please give me a feedback, if that works for you.

Regards,
Johann

Hi,

I tested an ACF Flexible Content Layout and get_sub_field() successful without any errors on a fresh WordPress install. Can you please check your PHP Logfile. Maybe there are some errors which lead us to the problem.

Cheers,

Hi,

sorry for the delay. The pagination of the table is a feature of the used theme, not of the table field plugin. So may ask the theme developer.

Cheers,
Johann

Hi, I try to fix it today and sorry for the delay. I didn’t find time to deal with it.

Cheers,
Johann

Hi,

sorry for the delay. Line breaks are not supported by default. But you can add this, see…

Hi,

I unfortunately cant test a commercial plugin. I know for example, that plugins like “All-in-One WP Migration” and others works.

The table field stores the table data array as an serialized array in the database as usual in WordPress. If there is something like “Array,Array…” in the export file, the export process converted the table data string from the database into an array for some reason. You may check this in the export setup.

Did this hint help?
Cheers,
Johann

Hi,

function shortcode_acf_tablefield( $atts ) {

    $a = shortcode_atts( array(
        'table-class' => '',
        'field-name' => false,
        'post-id' => false,
    ), $atts );

    $table = get_field( $a['field-name'], $a['post-id'] );

    $return = '';

    if ( $table ) {

        $return .= '<table class="' . $a['table-class'] . '" border="0">';

            if ( ! empty( $table['caption'] ) ) {

                echo '<caption>' . $table['caption'] . '</caption>';
            }

            if ( $table['header'] ) {

                $return .= '<thead>';

                    $return .= '<tr>';

                        foreach ( $table['header'] as $th ) {
                            $return .= '<th scope="col">';

                                $return .= $th['c'];
                            $return .= '</th>';
                        }

                    $return .= '</tr>';

                $return .= '</thead>';
            }

            $return .= '<tbody>';

                foreach ( $table['body'] as $tr ) {

                    $return .= '<tr>';

                        foreach ( $tr as $key => $td) {
			    // the "data-label" attribute required by your css was missing		
                            $return .= '<td data-label="' . $table['header'][ $key ]['c'] . '">';
						
                                $return .= $td['c'];
                            $return .= '</td>';
                        }

                    $return .= '</tr>';
                }

            $return .= '</tbody>';

        $return .= '</table>';
    }

    return $return;
}

I hope you get the idea.

Cheers,
Johann

Hi Luis,

I recreated the situation with the “ACF Frontend” plugin for Elementor and the table data was saved in the new post as expected. I have no glue, what is going on in your particular case.

What I did in detail:
– I created a ACF field-group for the posttype “post” with an table field.
– Then I installed “Elementor” and the Plugin “ACF Frontend”.
– Then I added a page and opened the Elementor editor for it.
– Then I added the Elementor widget “ACF Frontend Form” to the page, selected the ACF field-group and defined the action to create a new post.
– Then I testet the frontend form with the table field and the table data was available in the new created post.

Did you something different?

Cheers,
Johann
