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

The simplest plugin to render ACF Repeater field data or JSON data (from an array or URL) inside Elementor Loop Grids & Templates.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83c\udfa5 Demo Videos:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

https:\/\/youtu.be\/CCmqQ6F3_sE<\/p>\n\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iHULh_O-Hsk<\/p>\n\n

This plugin enables you to loop through ACF Repeater fields, a local JSON array, or even a remote JSON response (via URL) \u2014 and render each row using an Elementor Template.<\/p>\n\n

It gives you full control over how the data is displayed and supports subfield-to-dynamic-tag mapping \u2014 so your Elementor templates stay dynamic, flexible, and clean.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Key Features<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  • Select any ACF Pro Repeater field or provide a JSON array \/ JSON URL as a data source.<\/li>\n
  • Choose an Elementor Pro template to render each row.<\/li>\n
  • Define subfield-to-dynamic-tag mappings for flexible display.<\/li>\n
  • Supports text, image, URL, and media fields.<\/li>\n
  • Fetch JSON dynamically from any API or custom endpoint with parameters.<\/li>\n
  • 100% no-code setup \u2014 fully Elementor-native experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    \ud83d\udd01 Flexible Data Sources for Repeater Fields<\/h4>\n\n

    In many real-world projects, repeater fields aren't always tied to the current post. You might have:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • A Global Options Page<\/strong> (like \"Site Settings\" or \"Theme Settings\") with repeatable content shared site-wide.<\/li>\n
    • A Specific Post\/Page<\/strong> that acts as a \"data hub\" reused across multiple templates.<\/li>\n
    • The default Current Post<\/strong> source for page-specific content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      This plugin supports all three inside Elementor:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • Current Post<\/strong> \u2192 Fetches repeater data from the current post\/page.<\/li>\n
      • Specific Post (by ID)<\/strong> \u2192 Pulls repeater data from any post type \u2014 ideal for master content reuse.<\/li>\n
      • Options Page<\/strong> \u2192 Fetches repeater data from any registered ACF Options Page (like global footers, menus, banners, or team sections).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        This feature lets you centralize repeater content and reuse it across templates without duplication.<\/p>\n\n

        \ud83c\udf10 JSON Array & JSON URL Support<\/h4>\n\n

        Not using ACF? No problem.\nYou can display dynamic JSON data instead \u2014 perfect for API-driven content or structured data from external sources.<\/p>\n\n

        \ud83e\uddf1 Two JSON Data Modes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

          \n

        1. JSON Array<\/strong> \u2014 Paste your JSON array directly inside the widget settings.<\/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 (New in v1.0.3)<\/strong> \u2014 Fetch data dynamically from any endpoint or API URL.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

            \n
          • The URL can include dynamic parameters (like post ID, category, or user meta).<\/li>\n
          • Ideal for remote product feeds, API-based testimonials, blog lists, or user data.<\/li>\n
          • The plugin automatically parses the JSON response and renders each object as a loop item using your chosen Elementor template.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

            https:\/\/api.example.com\/books?category=fiction&user_id={{user_id}}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
            Use dynamic tags to inject values into the URL, making your data source truly dynamic.<\/p>\n\n
            How It Works<\/h3>\n\n
            Step 1: Create a Template for Each Item<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            1. Go to Templates \u2192 Saved Templates \u2192 Add New<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
            2. Choose Section<\/strong> or Container<\/strong> type.<\/li>\n
            3. Design how a single repeater item should look (e.g., team card, testimonial block, etc.).<\/li>\n
            4. Save the template.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
              Step 2: Add the Repeater2Template Widget<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              1. Edit the page with Elementor<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
              2. Search for Repeater2Template<\/strong> widget and drop it on your page.<\/li>\n
              3. Choose the data source<\/strong>:\n\n
                  \n
                • ACF Repeater<\/code> \u2013 Select your field key or name.<\/li>\n
                • JSON URL \/ Array<\/code> \u2013 Paste JSON directly or provide a URL.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
                  Step 3: Choose Template<\/h4>\n\n
                    \n
                  • Select the Elementor template<\/strong> created in Step 1.<\/li>\n
                  • The widget will automatically loop through all repeater or JSON items and render each using that template.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
                      \n
                    1. Upload the plugin files to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> or install via the WordPress Admin Panel.<\/li>\n
                    2. Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
                    3. Ensure Elementor Pro and ACF Pro are installed if using ACF.<\/li>\n
                    4. Create your ACF Repeater field or prepare JSON\/URL data.<\/li>\n
                    5. Create an Elementor Pro Saved Template for rendering.<\/li>\n
                    6. Add the Repeater2Template Widget to your layout and choose:\n\n
                        \n
                      • ACF Repeater<\/li>\n
                      • Specific Post \/ 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 if you're using repeater fields. JSON and JSON URL sources work without ACF.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                        Can it fetch live data from APIs?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                        Yes! Use the JSON URL option to fetch and render data from any external or internal API endpoint.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                        Does it cache data from the URL?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                        Currently, data is fetched fresh on every render. Future versions may include caching options.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                        Can I use Elementor Free?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                        No. Elementor Pro is required for dynamic tag and template integration.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                        What data types are supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                        Text, images, URLs, media fields \u2014 plus automatic <img><\/code> tag handling for image URLs.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
                        1.0.4<\/h4>\n\n
                          \n
                        • Added: Control to limit the number of rows displayed from ACF Repeater or JSON data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                            \n
                          • Added support for JSON from URL \u2014 fetch data dynamically from APIs or custom endpoints with optional dynamic parameters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
                            1.0.2<\/h4>\n\n
                              \n
                            • Added flexible ACF repeater data sources (Current Post, Specific Post, Options Page).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
                              1.0.1<\/h4>\n\n
                                \n
                              • Added JSON Array as a data source.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
