<h3>How To Use</h3>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>

</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Insert Field Placeholders</strong>: Use <code>#field_name</code> syntax within your content
<ul>

</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>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>

– Same placeholder syntax: <code>#field_name</code></p>
<h3>Supported Field Types</h3>
<ul>
<li>Text fields</li>

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>Are you struggling to use <strong>ACF repeater fields</strong>, <strong>Relationship fields</strong> or <strong>Flexible content fields</strong> in Elementor? Tired of slow sites from duplicated sections? You’re not alone!</p>
<p><strong>Here’s the frustrating truth:</strong> Elementor doesn’t natively support ACF Repeater, Relationship or Flexible content fields. Not even Elementor Pro fully solves this. So most people end up with bloated pages, slow load times, and a site that’s a nightmare to maintain.</p>
<p><strong>That’s why we built Repeaterly.</strong> It connects ACF and Elementor the way they always should have worked — so you can use ACF Repeater fields, Relationship fields, Flexible Content, and Dynamic Tags directly inside Elementor, without writing a single line of code. <strong>No Elementor Pro needed.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Repeaterly</strong> is the ultimate bridge between <strong>Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)</strong> and <strong>Elementor</strong>.</p>

<h3>What You Get for Free</h3>
<h3>Dynamic Tags — Use ACF Fields Inside Any Elementor Widget</h3>
<p>Normally, connecting your ACF field data to an Elementor widget (like a heading, button, or image) requires Elementor Pro. <strong>Repeaterly gives you this for free.</strong></p>
<p>Once installed, every Elementor widget gets a dynamic tag option. Click it, pick your ACF field, and the widget shows that field’s value automatically — no static text, no manual updates.</p>
<p>Works with:</p>
<ul>
<li>Any ACF field or subfield, including fields inside Repeater and Relationship fields</li>
<li>Post title, content, excerpt, URL, featured image, and more</li>
</ul>
<p>No other free plugin supports ACF subfields in dynamic tags. That’s what makes this special.</p>

<h3>Dynamic Icon List</h3>
<p>Have a list of features, steps, or perks stored as an ACF Repeater? Turn it into a styled icon list in Elementor automatically. Add a new row in ACF — it appears on the page instantly. No Elementor edits needed.</p>
<h3>Dynamic Accordion</h3>
<p>Store FAQ items or expandable content in ACF. Repeaterly turns them into a working accordion in Elementor automatically. Add more items in ACF and the accordion grows with them.</p>
<h3>Dynamic Gallery</h3>
<p>Have an ACF Gallery field full of images? The Dynamic Gallery widget pulls all those images into Elementor and displays them however you style it.</p>
<h3>What You Get with Pro</h3>
<h3>ACF Repeater Loop Grid & Carousel</h3>
<p>This is for when you want full control over how repeated content looks.</p>
<p>Say you have a Repeater field with 12 team members. Design one “team card” template in Elementor. Repeaterly loops through all 12 rows and applies your template to each one automatically. Change the template once — all 12 cards update. Works as a grid or a carousel slider just like Elementor Pro’s native Loop Builder but for <strong>ACF Repeater Fields</strong>.</p>
<h3>ACF Relationship Loop Grid & Carousel</h3>
<p>ACF Relationship fields let you link posts together — like “related products” or “similar articles.” Repeaterly can display those linked posts in a fully custom Elementor grid or carousel using any template you design.</p>
<h3>Nested Repeater Support</h3>
<p>A nested Repeater is a Repeater inside another Repeater. Picture a list of pricing plans where each plan has its own list of included features. This is notoriously difficult to display in Elementor. Repeaterly Pro handles it cleanly — drag, drop, done. No code required.</p>
<h3>ACF Flexible Content Loop Builder</h3>
<p>ACF Flexible Content fields let you create different types of content blocks in ACF — kind of like a mini page builder inside your field group. Repeaterly Pro renders each of those blocks dynamically in Elementor, using your own custom templates for each layout type. You can also reorder the sections directly from the Flexible Content widget’s Elementor control with simple drag and drop — arrange the layouts in whatever order you like, right from the widget settings.</p>
<h3>ACF Clone Field Support</h3>
<p>If you reuse a Repeater field via an ACF Clone field set to “seamless” display mode, Repeaterly Pro detects it automatically inside your Repeater and Flexible Content templates. No extra setup needed — it just works. (This applies specifically to seamlessly cloned Repeater fields)</p>
<h3>Dynamic Image Carousel</h3>
<p>A dedicated carousel widget that pulls images from ACF fields. Connect it to your ACF image field and it populates automatically with full styling control.</p>
<h3>Load Content from Any Post</h3>
<p>Want to show ACF data from a different post on the current page? With Repeaterly Pro you can pull Repeater or Relationship data from any post using its ID — great for shared sections that reference global content.</p>
<h3>Pagination & Load More</h3>
<p>If your Repeater or Relationship field has dozens of rows, you don’t have to show them all at once. Add pagination or a “Load More” button to your loop and Repeaterly handles the rest.</p>
<h3>Why Copying Sections Is Hurting You</h3>
<p>When you manually duplicate Elementor sections to repeat content, here is what is happening in the background:</p>
<ul>
<li>Every copy is saved separately in your database — 10 items means 10 full copies of your layout stored individually</li>
<li>If you update the design, you have to edit every single copy by hand</li>
<li>All that extra saved data adds weight to every page load and slows your site down</li>
</ul>
<p>With Repeaterly, there is one template and one data source. The template lives in Elementor. The content lives in ACF. They connect automatically. Update the layout once. Update content in ACF. Everything stays in sync without touching Elementor again.</p>
<h3>Who Is Repeaterly For?</h3>
<p><strong>Designers</strong> — Build dynamic, professional layouts in Elementor without touching code or doing repetitive work.</p>
<p><strong>Developers</strong> — Stop wrestling with ACF and Elementor separately. Repeaterly integrates them so you can ship faster.</p>
<p><strong>Agencies and freelancers</strong> — Build sites where clients update content in ACF without ever needing to open Elementor.</p>
<p><strong>Anyone using both ACF and Elementor</strong> — If you have both plugins installed and you are not using Repeaterly, you are doing things the hard way.</p>
<h3>Getting Started</h3>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate Repeaterly (free)</li>
<li>Make sure ACF is installed and you have at least one field set up</li>
<li>Open any page in Elementor — Dynamic Tags are ready to use straight away</li>
<li>To build a loop layout, add a Loop Builder widget (Pro) and connect it to your ACF Repeater or Relationship field</li>
<li>That is it. No code. Content updates automatically from ACF.</li>
