Repeater2Template Widget for ACF Repeater and Elementor

Description

⚠️ Requires Elementor Pro

Tired of ACF Repeater fields that won’t cooperate with Elementor?
Repeater2Template fixes that — instantly. Connect any repeater data source to any Elementor template and watch every row render exactly how you designed it. No PHP. No shortcodes. No workarounds.

Whether you’re working with ACF Repeater fields, a raw JSON array, or a live API endpoint — this widget loops through your data and outputs each item using your own Elementor saved template. Full design control, fully native experience.

💡 Key Features

• 🔌 3 data sources, one widget — ACF Repeater, JSON Array, or live data from any JSON URL / API.
• 🎨 Design freedom — pick any Elementor Pro saved template to render each row your way.
• 🗂 Flexible ACF sources — current post, any specific post by ID, or a global ACF Options Page.
• 🏷 Subfield-to-dynamic-tag mapping — keeps your templates clean, reusable, and truly dynamic.
• 🌐 Live API rendering — inject dynamic parameters into JSON URLs for real-time, context-aware content.
• 🔢 Row limit control — display only a set number of items from any data source.
• ✅ 100% no-code — built entirely inside Elementor. If you can drag a widget, you can use this.

🔁 Flexible ACF Data Sources

Real-world projects rarely keep all data tied to the current post. That’s why Repeater2Template supports three ACF source types:

• Current Post → repeater data tied to the page being viewed.
• Specific Post (by ID) → use any post as a centralized “data hub” — reuse it across unlimited templates without duplication.
• Options Page → pull from any registered ACF Options Page for global content like team sections, banners, menus, or footers.

Centralize once. Reuse everywhere.

🌐 JSON Array & JSON URL — No ACF Needed

Not an ACF user? No problem. Repeater2Template handles raw JSON just as powerfully.

Two JSON modes:

1. JSON Array — paste your data directly into the widget. Instant, portable, zero setup.

   [
   { “title”: “Book A”, “author”: “Author X”, “image”: “https://example.com/book1.jpg” },
   { “title”: “Book B”, “author”: “Author Y”, “image”: “https://example.com/book2.jpg” }
   ]

2. JSON URL — fetch live data from any internal or external API endpoint.

• Supports dynamic URL parameters (post ID, category, user meta, and more).
• Perfect for product feeds, API-driven testimonials, blog lists, or user-specific content.
• The plugin parses the response automatically and renders each object using your Elementor template.

Example:
https://api.example.com/books?category=fiction&user_id={{user_id}}

How It Works

Step 1: Design Your Item Template

1. Go to Templates → Saved Templates → Add New.
2. Choose Section or Container.
3. Design one item — a team card, a testimonial block, a product tile, anything.
4. Save the template.

Step 2: Drop In the Widget

1. Open your page in Elementor.
2. Search for Repeater2Template and drag it onto the canvas.
3. Select your data source:
   • ACF Repeater — pick your field by key or name.
   • JSON URL / Array — paste your JSON or enter a URL.

Step 3: Connect & Done

Select the Elementor template from Step 1. The widget loops through every item and renders each one using your template — automatically.

No PHP. No shortcodes. No headaches.
