\u26a0\ufe0f Requires Elementor Pro<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Tired of ACF Repeater fields that won't cooperate with Elementor?<\/strong>\nRepeater2Template fixes that \u2014 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.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Key Features<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  • \ud83d\udd0c 3 data sources, one widget<\/strong> \u2014 ACF Repeater, JSON Array, or live data from any JSON URL \/ API.<\/li>\n
  • \ud83c\udfa8 Design freedom<\/strong> \u2014 pick any Elementor Pro saved template to render each row your way.<\/li>\n
  • \ud83d\uddc2 Flexible ACF sources<\/strong> \u2014 current post, any specific post by ID, or a global ACF Options Page.<\/li>\n
  • \ud83c\udff7 Subfield-to-dynamic-tag mapping<\/strong> \u2014 keeps your templates clean, reusable, and truly dynamic.<\/li>\n
  • \ud83c\udf10 Live API rendering<\/strong> \u2014 inject dynamic parameters into JSON URLs for real-time, context-aware content.<\/li>\n
  • \ud83d\udd22 Row limit control<\/strong> \u2014 display only a set number of items from any data source.<\/li>\n
  • \u2705 100% no-code<\/strong> \u2014 built entirely inside Elementor. If you can drag a widget, you can use this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    \ud83d\udd01 Flexible ACF Data Sources<\/h4>\n\n

    Real-world projects rarely keep all data tied to the current post. That's why Repeater2Template supports three ACF source types:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Current Post<\/strong> \u2192 repeater data tied to the page being viewed.<\/li>\n
    • Specific Post (by ID)<\/strong> \u2192 use any post as a centralized \"data hub\" \u2014 reuse it across unlimited templates without duplication.<\/li>\n
    • Options Page<\/strong> \u2192 pull from any registered ACF Options Page for global content like team sections, banners, menus, or footers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      Centralize once. Reuse everywhere.<\/p>\n\n

      \ud83c\udf10 JSON Array & JSON URL \u2014 No ACF Needed<\/h4>\n\n

      Not an ACF user? No problem. Repeater2Template handles raw JSON just as powerfully.<\/p>\n\n

      Two JSON modes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

        \n

      1. JSON Array<\/strong> \u2014 paste your data directly into the widget. Instant, portable, zero setup.<\/p>\n\n

        [\n { \"title\": \"Book A\", \"author\": \"Author X\", \"image\": \"https:\/\/example.com\/book1.jpg\" },\n { \"title\": \"Book B\", \"author\": \"Author Y\", \"image\": \"https:\/\/example.com\/book2.jpg\" }\n]<\/p><\/li>\n

      2. JSON URL<\/strong> \u2014 fetch live data from any internal or external API endpoint.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

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

          Example:<\/strong>\n https:\/\/api.example.com\/books?category=fiction&user_id={{user_id}}<\/p>\n\n

          \u2b50 What Builders Are Saying<\/h4>\n\n

          How It Works<\/h3>\n\n

          Step 1: Design Your Item Template<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          1. Go to Templates \u2192 Saved Templates \u2192 Add New<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
          2. Choose Section<\/strong> or Container<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
          3. Design one item \u2014 a team card, a testimonial block, a product tile, anything.<\/li>\n
          4. Save the template.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

            Step 2: Drop In the Widget<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            1. Open your page in Elementor<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
            2. Search for Repeater2Template<\/strong> and drag it onto the canvas.<\/li>\n
            3. Select your data source:\n\n
                \n
              • ACF Repeater<\/code> \u2014 pick your field by key or name.<\/li>\n
              • JSON URL \/ Array<\/code> \u2014 paste your JSON or enter a URL.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

                Step 3: Connect & Done<\/h4>\n\n

                Select the Elementor template from Step 1. The widget loops through every item and renders each one using your template \u2014 automatically.<\/p>\n\n

                No PHP. No shortcodes. No headaches.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Upload plugin files to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> or install directly via the WordPress Admin Panel.<\/li>\n
                2. Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
                3. Ensure Elementor Pro is active (ACF Pro only needed for repeater fields).<\/li>\n
                4. Set up your ACF Repeater field \u2014 or prepare your JSON array \/ API URL.<\/li>\n
                5. Create an Elementor Pro Saved Template for how a single item should look.<\/li>\n
                6. Add the Repeater2Template Widget<\/strong> to your page and select your data source:\n\n
                    \n
                  • ACF Repeater (Current Post, Specific Post by ID, or Options Page)<\/li>\n
                  • JSON Array<\/li>\n
                  • JSON from URL<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                    \n

                    Does it require ACF Pro?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                    Only for ACF Repeater fields. JSON Array and JSON URL modes work completely independently \u2014 no ACF required.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                    Can it pull live data from external APIs?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                    Yes. The JSON URL mode fetches from any API endpoint and supports dynamic parameters, so content updates contextually per page or user.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                    Does it cache remote JSON data?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                    Data is fetched fresh on every render. Caching options are planned for a future release.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                    Can I use this with Elementor Free?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                    No \u2014 Elementor Pro is required for saved template and dynamic tag support.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                    What field types are supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                    Text, images, URLs, and media fields. Image URLs are handled automatically with proper <img><\/code> tag output.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
