<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 />

<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>

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 allows you to use ACF Repeater and ACF Relationship fields as data sources for Elementor’s Loop Grid widget.</p>
<p><strong>Key Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>New Data Sources:</strong> Adds “ACF Repeater” and “ACF Relationship” to the Source dropdown in the Loop Grid’s Query tab.</li>
<li><strong>Use Repeater Data:</strong> Select any ACF Repeater field from the current post/page to power your Loop Grid.</li>
<li><strong>Use Relationship Data:</strong> Select any ACF Relationship field to create a grid of related posts in your Loop Grid.</li>
<li><strong>Repeater Sub-Field Tag:</strong> A dedicated dynamic tag to easily pull and display data (text, images, etc.) from any sub-field within your repeater.</li>
<li><strong>Relationship Sub-Field Tag:</strong> A dynamic tag to display data from the related posts, such as the post title, content, featured image, and permalink.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Elementor</strong></li>
<li><strong>Elementor Pro</strong></li>
<li><strong>Advanced Custom Fields Pro</strong> (The Repeater and Relationship fields are ACF Pro features)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p><strong>1. Configure the Loop Grid</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Add an Elementor Loop Grid widget to your page.</li>
<li>In the widget settings, go to the <strong>Query</strong> tab.</li>
<li>From the <strong>Source</strong> dropdown, select “ACF Repeater” or “ACF Relationship”.</li>
<li>A new dropdown will appear below the Source. Select the specific ACF field you wish to use as the data source for the grid.</li>
<li>Create or select a template for your loop item.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>2. Displaying Data in Your Loop Template (ACF Repeater)</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Edit the Elementor template you are using for your loop item.</li>
<li>Add any standard widget, such as a Heading, Text Editor, or Image widget.</li>
<li>Click the <strong>Dynamic Tags</strong> icon next to a field.</li>
<li>Scroll to the “ACF Connector” group and select the <strong>ACF Repeater Sub Field</strong> tag.</li>
<li>Click on the tag name again to open its settings.</li>
<li>In the <strong>Sub Field</strong> dropdown, select the specific sub-field you want to display. The fields are grouped by repeater name for clarity.</li>
</ol>
<p>Note that the preview within the template will not display the sub-field data. This is expected behavior because no applicable preview data can be set in Elementor.</p>
<p><strong>3. Displaying Data in Your Loop Template (ACF Relationship)</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Edit the Elementor template you are using for your loop item.</li>
<li>Your template will be supplied with a standard WordPress Post object, so just create your template as you normally would.</li>
</ol>
