I am trying to: Generate a list of countries that I preset using a custom field repeater.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: A list of flags.

Instead, I got: My list of flag but with an empty item preceding it.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Yes - I see the first item is blank but to debug this issue fruther I need access details.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Well - there is no issue from Toolset but you have by mistake added following shortcode outside the view's loop:

[wpv-post-body view_template="Loop item in Top Countries List"]

And that is why it was displaying one empty records as the template has been called one time outside the view's loop. I've removed that code and now it looks OK.

Could you please confirm?

I must have missed that!

Thanks for your help, Minesh 🙂

Have a wonderful day.
