I'm looking to return the number of instances of a repeating date field in a post where the date is on or before today. I came across this but it counts ALL instances.

$dates= sizeof(get_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-custom-field', false));

I can do it using an SQL query in my function but wondered if there's a different/better way of doing it?

Thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

There is no way to get total count of repeating field instances. You need to use the PHP code as you shared.

Please check the following related ticket where I shared the shortcode that returns the total count of repeating field instance:
