Blocks for ACF Fields vs Repeaters & Relationships Connector with ACF for Elementor

Blocks for ACF Fields lets you effortlessly load and display Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or Secure Custom Fields (SCF) inside the WordPress block editor using a single, flexible block. Whether you’re dealing with text, images, URLs, or complex field types, this plugin makes it simple — all without writing a single line of code. How to Use it Just create your custom fields with the ACF or SCF plugin, then open the WordPress block editor. Add the “ACF Field” block to your page or template, select the field you want to display from the dropdown, and you are done! Your custom field will now appear right inside the editor, exactly where you want it. Want to see it in action? Watch the short demo video below to learn how it works in real time. Features No Code Needed – Display your ACF & SCF fields directly in the editor without building a custom block. One Block for All Fields – Load almost any field type using just a single, versatile block. Smart Field Picker – No need to type field names. Choose from a dropdown that automatically shows only the ACF & SCF fields available for the post, page, or template you’re editing. Flexible Output Control – Style and format your field values directly in the editor, with output that always works correctly regardless of the field’s return setting. Works With Most Field Types – From plain text and numbers to images, links, embeds, dates, and icons — most commonly used ACF/SCF field types render right out of the box. Supports All Field Locations – Works with post fields, options pages, term fields, and user fields. Full Site Editing Ready – Fully compatible with the WordPress Site Editor for building custom templates and theme parts. Dynamic Layouts Ready – Seamlessly works inside Query Loops and reusable patterns for dynamic layouts. In addition to choosing which field to display, you also have control over how it appears. Text-based fields (including multiple-value fields like Select or Checkbox) can be shown as plain text or formatted with typography options. Image fields can be displayed as actual images with the same styling options as core Image blocks. For URL-return fields (such as Link or Post Object), you can render them as clickable buttons that automatically match your theme’s design. Where Your Fields Come From You also have control over where your fields are sourced from, making it easy to connect content dynamically based on the template you’re editing. Post (any post type) – Load fields attached to the post you’re currently editing, whether it’s a post, page, or any custom post type. Option – Pull global option fields, perfect for site-wide settings like logos, contact info, or social links. User – Display fields attached to a user profile. Available when editing author templates, making it easy to showcase author bios, avatars, or custom user data. Taxonomy – Load fields attached to taxonomy terms. Available when editing term archive templates, ideal for creating custom category, tag, or taxonomy layouts.

PRO works exactly the same way — pick a block, pick a field, and you’re done. Nothing you’ve already learned changes. PRO simply gives you more to pick from: more supported field types, more layout options, and new ways to choose where your content comes from. Sooner or later you’ll hit a field the free version can’t display on its own — a Repeater, a Gallery, a list of related posts, an interactive Map, or a nested Group. Normally that’s where the fun stops and the PHP begins. PRO lets you build all of it right in the editor instead. Here’s what you get: Support for Advanced Field Types (no PHP required) Repeater – Turn repeater rows into a styleable layout you compose right in the editor. Each sub field becomes its own block, styled with the controls you already know. Display rows as a List, Grid, Carousel, Accordion, or Tabs. Gallery – Render gallery fields as a Grid, Masonry, or interactive Carousel, complete with a built-in lightbox and responsive options for different screen sizes. Group – Access and display sub fields inside group fields individually, no matter how deeply nested. 20+ Advanced Display Formats PRO doesn’t just add new field types — it unlocks powerful new ways to render the fields you already have. Post Object & Relationship – Display as dynamic post loops (List, Grid, or Carousel), similar to the Query Loop block, with the ability to load custom fields within each post. Also supports Single Post display — perfect for related posts sections and featured post displays. Taxonomy – Render as term loops (List, Grid, or Carousel) with access to custom fields on each term, plus Single Term display. Ideal for flexible category, tag, or custom taxonomy layouts. User – Display as user loops (List, Grid, or Carousel) with custom fields for each user, plus Single User display. Great for user directories, contributor listings, and team pages. Google Map – Display ACF Google Maps fields as an interactive map with custom markers and styling. Perfect for store locators, event venues, or property listings. Embed Popup – Show an oEmbed or URL field inside a lightbox popup that only loads on click — rich media without slowing your pages down. Dynamic Field Sources Lite blocks always read from the current post, term, user, or an Options Page. PRO frees them: Specific Post / Term / User – Pin a block to an entity you hand-pick at edit time. Build an editorially-chosen “Featured Page” promo or an “About the Founder” panel that lives anywhere and updates from a single source. URL Parameter – Let the URL decide the entity at render time. One /profile/ template can serve every user via ?uid=42, ?uid=99, and so on. Optional Match Rules validate the URL value as a Post ID, Post Slug, User ID, Username, Email, Term ID, or Term Slug — so one template powers profile pages, dynamic landing pages, and review tools without registering a custom route. Block Visibility by ACF / SCF Value Show or hide any block — not just ACF blocks, but every Group, Heading, Cover, and third-party block — based on the value of an ACF or SCF field. Build the rules visually in the block sidebar: pick a field, pick a comparison, give it a value. Combine multiple rules with AND (within a group) and OR (across groups), the same shape ACF’s own conditional logic uses. Rules are evaluated server-side at render time, so hidden blocks emit no HTML at all — no empty wrappers, no client-side flash. In the editor, every block stays visible so you can keep editing. Start with the free version, build what you can, and upgrade only when you hit a wall. PRO is a standalone plugin — installing it automatically deactivates Lite to prevent conflicts, and your existing blocks, content, and field configuration are preserved.

This plugin allows you to use ACF Repeater and ACF Relationship fields as data sources for Elementor’s Loop Grid widget. Key Features: New Data Sources: Adds “ACF Repeater” and “ACF Relationship” to the Source dropdown in the Loop Grid’s Query tab. Use Repeater Data: Select any ACF Repeater field from the current post/page to power your Loop Grid. Use Relationship Data: Select any ACF Relationship field to create a grid of related posts in your Loop Grid. Repeater Sub-Field Tag: A dedicated dynamic tag to easily pull and display data (text, images, etc.) from any sub-field within your repeater. Relationship Sub-Field Tag: A dynamic tag to display data from the related posts, such as the post title, content, featured image, and permalink. Taxonomy Archive Support: Use ACF Repeater and Relationship fields on category, tag, and custom taxonomy archive templates. Author Archive Support: Use ACF Repeater and Relationship fields on author archive templates. Requirements Elementor Elementor Pro Advanced Custom Fields Pro (The Repeater and Relationship fields are ACF Pro features) Usage 1. Configure the Loop Grid Add an Elementor Loop Grid widget to your page. In the widget settings, go to the Query tab. From the Source dropdown, select “ACF Repeater” or “ACF Relationship”. A new dropdown will appear below the Source. Select the specific ACF field you wish to use as the data source for the grid. Create or select a template for your loop item. 2. Displaying Data in Your Loop Template (ACF Repeater) Edit the Elementor template you are using for your loop item. Add any standard widget, such as a Heading, Text Editor, or Image widget. Click the Dynamic Tags icon next to a field. Scroll to the “ACF Connector” group and select the ACF Repeater Sub Field tag. Click on the tag name again to open its settings. In the Sub Field dropdown, select the specific sub-field you want to display. The fields are grouped by repeater name for clarity. Note that the preview within the template will not display the sub-field data. This is expected behavior because no applicable preview data can be set in Elementor. 3. Displaying Data in Your Loop Template (ACF Relationship) Edit the Elementor template you are using for your loop item. Your template will be supplied with a standard WordPress Post object, so just create your template as you normally would.
