Loop Grid Extender for Elementor Pro helps you add powerful filter options to Elementor’s Loop Grid widget. By default, Loop Grid doesn’t let users filter posts or products easily, that’s where this addon comes in.
<h3>Important</h3>
This plugin does not currently support Elementor’s Widget Cache feature. Please disable it to ensure proper functionality.

It is built specifically for people using Elementor Pro + ACF (Advanced Custom Fields), allowing to add dropdown filters, show how many posts or products are in each category, and even hide terms you don’t want to show.

Think of it as a missing piece that gives Elementor Pro superpowers when working with repeater fields and dynamic layouts.

<h3>KEY FEATURES</h3>

<li>
Dropdown Display for Filters: You can easily filter posts or products by categories, tags, or custom taxonomies using dropdown menus.

</li>

</li>
<li>
Custom Post Type & ACF Taxonomy Support: The plugin fully supports custom post types and taxonomies created with ACF, ensuring that all your unique content types work with the filtering system.
</li>
<li>

</li>
<li>
Responsive, Optimized, Code-free: Lightweight scripts, clean markup, and mobile-first design ensure performance.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>USE CASES</h3>
<ul>
<li>Building FAQ or testimonial sections with toggles and pop-ups using ACF repeater data.</li>
<li>Creating WooCommerce product grids with filters for size, color, and brand.</li>
<li>Crafting team member directories, event listings, or portfolio galleries with dynamic filter UI.</li>
<li>Multilingual websites requiring term-specific filtering.</li>
</ul>
<h3>From Frustration to Solution</h3>
Elementor users have been requesting native support for ACF Repeater fields in Loop Grids, toggle/accordion widgets, and dynamic pop-ups for years. For example, issue <a href="https://github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/5979" rel="nofollow ugc">#5979</a> on GitHub was opened 6+ years ago, stated:
<blockquote>
“I’m always frustrated when building a dynamic FAQ section using a custom post type with ACF fields and Dynamic Pop‑up. Elementor Pro doesn’t support a repeater functionality yet.”
</blockquote>
<a href="https://github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/5979" rel="nofollow ugc">#5979</a> 
<a href="https://github.com/orgs/elementor/discussions/23185" rel="nofollow ugc">#23185</a>
Despite some advances, Elementor still lacks an intuitive way to:
<ul>
<li>Populate toggles, pop-ups, or loop templates with ACF repeater data, without custom PHP.</li>
<li>Add flexible filter UI (dropdowns or checkboxes) with taxonomy and post-count controls.</li>
</ul>
Our plugin directly addresses these gaps.

Loop Grid Extender for Elementor – ACF Repeater & Smart Filters


Works fine for what I need it to do. Developer is also very responsive, fixing a bug I reported within a couple of days. Thank you!


Nice and free alternative to integrate ACF repeater field


Hi, this plugin is simply outstanding. Elementor should honestly be paying you a commission for every Pro license they sell, because the fact that this functionality is still missing from paid Elementor Pro is unbelievable.



Thank you so much for stepping in and creating such a powerful and truly essential plugin. It fills a huge gap and works brilliantly.


Absolutely fantastic plugin


This plugin is indispensable for using ACF Repeater Fields in Elementor 


Fantastic plugin

Use ACF repeater fields inside Elementor loop items and add smart dynamic dropdown taxonomy filters to the Elementor Loop Grid widget.
