<li><strong>Dynamic Content</strong>: Automatically populate Elementor elements with ACF repeater data</li>
<li><strong>Flexible Usage</strong>: Works with columns, sections, and individual widgets</li>
<li><strong>Legacy Compatible</strong>: Maintains backward compatibility with existing implementations</li>
<li><strong>Hide Widget on Empty Fields</strong>: Hide elements and containers based on empty ACF fields conditions</li>
</ul>
<h3>🎯 Perfect For</h3>
<ul>
<li>Dynamic testimonial sections</li>
<li>Portfolio galleries</li>
<li>FAQ accordions</li>
<li>Team member listings</li>
<li>Product showcases</li>
<li>Any repeatable content structure</li>
</ul>
<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>
