</ul>
<h3>🎯 Perfect For</h3>

<h3>📋 Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.0 or higher</li>
<li>Elementor (free version)</li>
<li>Elementor Pro (Optional but recommended for full features)</li>
<li>Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Pro</li>
</ul>
<h3>How To Use</h3>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Create ACF Repeater Field</strong>: Set up your repeater field in ACF with sub-fields</li>
<li><strong>Select the repeater</strong>: In Elementor, widget, section or ACF Repeater loop set the ACF repeater field
<ul>
<li>You will be able to select the repeater field from ‘Advanced’ settings tab in the Elementor editor</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Insert Field Placeholders</strong>: Use <code>#field_name</code> syntax within your content
<ul>
<li>Replace <code>field_name</code> with your ACF sub-field names</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Publish</strong>: The plugin automatically replaces placeholders with repeater data</li>
</ol>
<h3>Example Implementation</h3>
<p><strong>ACF Repeater Setup:</strong><br />
– Repeater name: <code>team_members</code><br />
– Sub-fields: <code>member_name</code>, <code>member_role</code>, <code>member_bio</code></p>
<p><strong>Elementor Setup:</strong><br />
– Select the field in the Advanced settings for a container: <code>team_members</code><br />
– Content: <code>#member_name</code>, <code>#member_role</code>, <code>#member_bio</code> as a Heading widget or Text Editor widget</p>
<h3>Special Features</h3>
<p><strong>Accordion/Toggle Support:</strong><br />
Add new Accordion widget to the page, set the ACF Repeater field in the widget’s advanced settings, and use the sub-field names as placeholders as described above.</p>
<p>The plugin will automatically structure these for accordion/toggle widgets.</p>
<h3>Hide Widget on Empty ACF Fields</h3>
<p>You can now hide widgets based on empty ACF fields. Follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Select the Widget</strong>: Choose the widget you want to hide if an ACF field is empty.</li>
<li><strong>Advanced Settings</strong>: Go to the ‘Advanced’ settings tab in Elementor editor.</li>
<li><strong>Hide on Empty Field</strong>: Enable the option to hide the widget if an ACF field is empty.</li>
<li><strong>Choose Field</strong>: Select the ACF field you want to check for emptiness.</li>
</ol>
<p>The widget will be hidden if the selected ACF field is empty.</p>
<h3>Legacy Usage</h3>
<p>For backward compatibility, the old class naming convention is still supported:<br />
– Setup by old class name: <code>repeater_</code> for the widget or container<br />
– Same placeholder syntax: <code>#field_name</code></p>
<h3>Supported Field Types</h3>
<ul>
<li>Text fields</li>
<li>URL fields</li>
<li>WYSIWYG Editor content</li>
<li>Accordion/Toggle content (with specific field names)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Currently optimized for Elementor native elements. Third-party widgets may require additional configuration.</p>

Sympl Repeater for ACF and Elementor


Once you understand how to use it, it's wonderful!



I've made a tutorial on my French blog if you need it.


Great plugin, lack of comprehensive instructions

Seamlessly integrate ACF Repeater fields with Elementor widgets and sections for dynamic, repeatable content blocks.

<p>This plugin uses the Repeater field of Advanced Custom Fields to add options for a Credit and Credit Link on each item in your Media Library. Currently this will only correlate and display for IMAGES on the front end. This does not support credits for .pdf files, .swf files, .doc files, etc.</p>
<p>Requires either <a href="http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/pro/" rel="nofollow ugc">Advanced Custom Fields Pro</a> or the <a href="http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">free version of ACF</a> with the <a href="http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/add-ons/repeater-field/" rel="nofollow ugc">Repeater Field</a> add-on.</p>
<p>I suggest using ACF Pro with this plugin.</p>
<p>ACF Fields are exported as a json file (for ACF Pro) in the ‘acf_exports’ directory of this plugin.<br />
ACF Pro allows you to import that json file if for some reason you’re having trouble getting the fields to load.</p>
<p>If you’re a developer there are functions available to you (see: <a href="http://dongaines.com/acf-media-credit/" rel="nofollow ugc">dongaines.com/acf-media-credit</a>)</p>
<p>In the ‘/inc/’ directory the fields have been exported as PHP to work w/ ACF Pro or ACF free</p>
<h3>Functions</h3>
<p>There are a handful of functions available for your use and there is more explanation given to them at <a href="http://dongaines.com/acf-media-credit/" rel="nofollow ugc">dongaines.com/acf-media-credit</a>. The functions available:<br />
    the_post_thumbnail_media_credit(); //does not require an attachment id<br />
    the_media_credit_html($attachment_id); //returns<br />
    the_media_credit($attachment_id); //echos the_media_credit_html();<br />
    the_plain_media_credit($attachment_id); //outputs the most basic markup<br />
    print_r(get_media_credit($attachment_id)); //helpful for debugging</p>
<p>For images with a caption I’m filtering the caption shortcode, please do the same if you need to make a change: <code>add_filter( 'img_caption_shortcode', 'your_function_name', 10, 3 );</code></p>
<p>Added filters:<br />
    add_filter(‘acf_media_credit_base_output’, ‘your_function_name’); //your_function_name($image_credit)<br />
    add_filter(‘acf_media_credit_div_class’, ‘your_function_name’); //your_function_name($media_credit_div_class)</p>


ACF Media Credit

Adds an option to create as many media credit fields as needed for an image.
