How to create a repeater template

Create a template

  1. Go to the Administration backend and click “Saved templates” below the Templates menu item.
  2. Click the “Add new” button besides the “Saved Templates” title at the top of the page
  3. A modal window is shown. In the “Choose Template Type” drop-down select the “Section” type template.
  4. Enter a descriptive name for your template.
  5. Click “Create template”.

Edit template with Elementor Pro

Points 4-6 are very important. Do not skip them.

  1. After pressing “Create template” you will be taken to the Elementor frontend editor.
  2. In order to get access to Repeater fields you will need to go to “Section Settings”. Press the gear icon.
  3. In the settings view you’ll see an area called “Preview Settings”. Click it and select your post type and which post that shall be used.

    If you are going to use a repeater field that has repeater field as subfield you need to select that field in the Repeater field dropdown.
  4. Click “Apply & preview”
  5. Click “Update”
  6. Refresh page. (This is so all the ACF fields are properly detected. There is no reloading of widgets after selecting a preview page.)
  7. Now you will have access to Repeater fields and more in the Dynamic Tags drop down. See the “Dynamic Tags” page for what tags are available.
  8. Design the template per usual Elementor design

Continue with the Repeater template widget.
