Description

Sidlane Repeater Templates for ACF and Elementor adds Elementor widgets and dynamic tags for displaying Advanced Custom Fields Repeater and Flexible Content data inside Elementor templates.

The plugin discovers top-level and nested collection fields, traverses every Flexible Content layout, and displays concise options using only the Flexible Content field, layout, Repeater, and field labels. Machine names remain internal selector values and no longer clutter the dropdown.

The collection loop grid and icon list can render either Repeater rows or Flexible Content rows. Flexible Content rows expose acf_fc_layout as a selectable value, and layout fields remain available to the sub-field widget and text, URL, and image dynamic tags.

When a collection widget is used inside a UACFR Elementor template, it reads the active Flexible Content preview row automatically.

This plugin requires Elementor. Some features are intended for Elementor Pro loop templates. Repeater and Flexible Content fields are normally provided by ACF Pro.

Installation

Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/sidlane-repeater-templates-acf-elementor directory, or install the plugin ZIP through the WordPress Plugins screen.
Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
Edit an Elementor template and add the collection widgets or dynamic tags where Repeater or Flexible Content row output is needed.

FAQ
