@@sachintiwari2289 AEP is a more feature-rich plugin that does a lot of things in addition to creating custom loops.

@@WPTuts Oops I have already buyed Ele custom skin pro. I do have one question here, how to display the repeater field (in the frontend) with an ordered and unordered list. I also have some requests to you , Since I have watched many of your videos and got really confused about many plugins as many of your plugins share some common basic features . So if your make some dedicated video on all the plugin you have used and review them on the basis of their features, complexity, etc then will really help us to decide which one to buy exactly.

I have practiced this lecture four times. At first, I could not fully understand it. As I heard other lectures of Paul C, I've got the picture. I always appreciate all the good works of yours.
Thank You, You have just sorted a great problem I have been fighting for the last month. All your instruction videos have brought me deeper into web from print design THANK YOU!
Nice, I've built an ecommerce site with Woocommerce & Elementor, and I'm customising the single product template. This repeater method will allow me to add things like benefit lists.
Paul, can you explain what Elementor Anywhere is actually achieving here that cannot be achieved without it? Trying to figure out if it's a timesaver or if it's allowing you to do things that Elementor Pro cannot do alone (I understand where ACF is playing into this, but not Elementor Anywhere). Thanks! Great tutorials!
Basically, Elementor Pro doesn't handle repeater regions at all. You could hand code the information into your page code or use AEP to do it for you visually. 👍
Hi Paul C, I heard you say on one of your videos you are always looking for suggestions for new videos. Well I have two for you. 1. A video on how to create a related post section using ACF. I read that many of the plugins are processor intensive and many have been banned by webhosts so something created via ACF hopefully would reduce the load. 2. I want to create a music event/gig festival guide to a site I am currently working on so would like to know how this can be achieved using ACF. Whatever you can do would be appreciated. Keep up the good work as I am getting through a video every 2 days or so as after watching I try to repeat what I have been taught. cheers Paul
Q1: Is there a way to pull some specific Repeater Blocks or specific content inside some specific Repeater block Q2: How to show the galllery through this widget, there's no gallery option only have image option under type dropdown.
Can this be used to display 2 different color multiple markers dynamically on a map for listings. Example for bungalows one color, and apartment another on the same map? Or could you please explain how it's done? Thanks a lot!!
In the past you had videos on other plugins that work similarly. What are your thoughts on the other plugins like JetEngine and Pods, and the others? Pricing is definitely different between them.
JetEngine is a great plugin and used alongside some of the other Jet plugins, offers a fantastic platform for building dynamic WordPress content. I've not really used PODS too much (but will be looking at creating some content on the channel soon), so can't really comment too much on that. It really comes down to your use case and what features you need. If you want a platform that has a lot of features, integrates well with Elementor and provides you with the the ability to create dynamic fields, etc., then Jet (or CrocoBlock) is great. The downside is that you could end up with a lot of plugins installed to get the job done. If you want something a little lighter, then the likes of ACF or PODS may serve you well and are pretty cheap to gain access to the full package). Toolset is another great option, and if you need more power, then may be the perfect option. However, it comes with a fairly steep learning curve and not such complete integration into Elementor and Elementor Pro.
for using repeater acf pro i must use this plugin? because i set repeater and could not see the parameters - do i need to create a loop? or use this or another second plugin - thanks
I have a sports picture gallery site for 20 different schools. The hierarchy would be school -> sport -> football -> gallery thumbnails for each game -> page with gallery from game played on x/x/2022. Would you suggest using this to duplicate this hierarchy for each school and how would you go about doing this?
Does the Template functionality of Elementor Pro basically negate most of the functions of AE Pro? I ask because I only need the repeater function right now and wonder if there is any other uses for the plugin. Reading their site doesn't really tell me a whole lot.
Hello dear Is the repeated fileds supported by jet crocoblocks I will appreciate your reply as I am interested to have the complete package but I need your suggestion.
@@WPTuts so do you suggest me to go with the full package as it will have all what I could need with elementor pro Also what is your review for their dynamic themes. Thank you in advance
Hello! Great video. I wanted to ask, is there a chance that I can somehow make an email reminder connected with a calendar date field that I can edit using ACF? For instance, I want to keep notes of SSL certificates of my employees, dates when they expire, and I want to put them into the calendar and have ACF kind of thing where it reminds me 1 day before expiration and sends me an email about needing to renew the certificate. Then I just go to calendar, set up the new date and easily modify a new ACF reminder. I hope I am saying this clear enough. Also, hoping for your answer!
How to create accordion repeater with ACF and Elementor? I need to create a course modules, module one and inside de accordion i need to put de leassons...
Hi Paul. Firstly thank you, I’ve learned a lot from your videos. However, after watching this one several times, thinking this was my solution, I bought all the plugins.. but still no luck. How can you display fields from ACF on the front end that aren’t text? Ie I don’t want authors to have to type in employee names for projects, they should be able to tick them from a list (ie who worked on what)
Hi, Thanks for your Video. I bought all plugins for that but not works. Can you please tell me if u want how set condition for that because create the theme everything its works perfect but i dont know how set condition for example if put preview in post how open with this template(ae post template with repeater)? because in ae template not have option with condition . Thanks in advance.
But how do we do this with a page template instead of creating a new post type for each one? I just want to use regular pages and set a template to show all the ACF fields and use the design
hi ! thank you for the super complete tutorial... I did it all but when I put the "ae acf repeater" it only shows me only one of the repeater fields... did you now why? thank you!
Hi, love your video! Important question: I don't see the anywhere elementor field in AE templates, tought I installed and activated it as a plug in. So now I can't resume... Any help? :)
Paul, if you knew you were only going to have (or have room for) 3 places of interest per location - You could do this without a repeater field at all, right? Added straight into custom fields.
Absolutely. Repeaters are great if you don't know how many or what info you wanted to include. If you have consistent info then you could just use standard fields.
Great Tutorial. very helpful. is there a way to create filter buttons like as you demonstrated on the portfolio widget. I want to be able to list all flats available but at the top have filters for price range ie:
Hey Paul, this was a great tutorial and it worked exactly as you described, but I have a question. Now that I've created the repeater block and then the single page template that actually does the "repeating," how do I get that page into an actual wordpress menu? Right now, I have the template, which looks exactly the way I want, but how do I make that a top level page that people can see with a properly structured URL? Right now, my page is a template, but not an actual "page." Thank you!
Great video and very informative but doesn't having 3 plugins running for one thing slow down the website? Also, is it possible to get this done with Toolset?
Thank you again for your awesome tutorial. I got a little confused with the use of AE and repeater. I wanted to know if this is the only way of using a repeater with Elementor or you can proceed with Elementor and ACF?
hi, Without anywhere elementor pro is not possible to make it? I have Elementor Pro, ACF Pro, Custom Post Type UI and Ele Custom Skin. Whit this plugins i can not make what you make in the video?
I created a repeater field with Category, Image and Facility. The "Facility" is a repeater field with a field "Facilities". I was able to display Category and Image but i wasn't able to display data from "facilities". In the custom field name i put "facility,facilities" to get the data from facilities but nothing appears. How should i go about doing it?
This video was outstanding. But I used the URL field! The problem is how do I showing the URL text on the frontend . Because this URL field not showing as a text. Please if I give some solutions then it's helpful for me
Thanks for featuring this! I got this working in a couple of instances, but the types of module you can build with these is kind of limiting. Has anyone tried creating nested repeater fields with this? I know this is possible with ACF, but not sure with this.
Thank you Paul for this awesome tutorial ! I was wondering how to deal with empty or optional field in the elementor templates.Let's say for example every POI has one more field which is a external link to a website.Some POI may have such a link and some don't. How do we manage that ? I mean how in the template can we build something like "this POI has an external link so show this button widget to go the link" or "this POI has no link (or empty), don't show the widget".Thank you.
The easiest way is to use dynamic conditions plugin (free) and that will allow you to easily show/hide things in your page or template. Do a search on the channel and there's a tutorial on how to use it. 👍😁
Absolutely! ACF still has more meta field type options as well as a lack of reliance upon Elementor. And it's a more mature product with larger user base.
@@SmDWeed you mean using Elementor Pro? If so, yeah you can. Do a search on the channel for ACF and Elementor Pro 2 and there's videos on how to do it.
Thanks very helpful Hope that Elementor pro Will integrate acf pro repeater field without relying on anywhere Elementor or unlimited addons that would make things easier and faster Hope u agree with me
Great tut, thanks Paul. One thing though... is it gif or jif...you can't cover yourself by saying it both ways, you have to pick a side! Great work, mate.
Nice work! I've needed this explained for ages! Do you think it would be possible within WP / ACF / elementor / EA to set up a number of repeater modules that a content editor could select from in a post? EG: Add "Content X, add "Content Y", Add another "Content X", Add "Content Z", Add another "Content X" so that the editor could mix up the layout or amount of content per post. Does that make sense?
Great tutorial Paul - thank you. I've got the same problem with the repeater field widget. I did everything right but the repeater field content doesn't show up. Your workaround doesn't work for me also. Further on I tried both: placing it into an elementor single post template and into an AE single post template as well - no content. That is really bad ... UPDATE: the latest version of AE fixed it! Such awesome tuts Paul! Thank you so much ...
Hello! Thanks for the great tutorial! Is it possible to create some standard fields for the repeater? For example you could create some standard places of interest which you can delete if you don't need. Finally you got for example three standard places which you can edit or delete if you don't need it. Best regards
I don’t understand why you choose to use AE pro to do what you do, can’t you just use Elementor pro? What does AE pro do that can’t be achieved with Elementor Pro?
4:00 Paul C Tutorial: No real ability to put the central idea into words. So instead just talk as much as possible about the idea and hope that something just falls right. Then a hint of self consciousness and the obligatory "I hope that makes sense". Which it never ever does.
You should really update the beginning of this or put in the top of your description how if you want to do this, Dynamic Content for Elementor is a better option than Anywhere Elementor. I bought AE based on this video and then found that it can't do Nested Repeaters and it can't easily do tables either. This video makes it sounds like AE is the only solution to get this work and you have other videos explaining how to use one that seems superior based on functionality.
I appreciate the feedback, but as I don't mention either nested repeat regions or tables in the tutorial, I can't help it if anyone makes an assumption based on this content that was created almost a year ago. Yes, there are other options available now and things have certainly moved on since this content was created. Sadly it's simply not possible to jump back to each video and update the description, information, etc., every time I release new content on a similar topic. As with all content, the time of release needs to be taken into consideration and a certain level of viewer research is advised to see if the tools used will provide the solution you may need for a given outcome.
