ACF Field For CF7 vs Repeater2Template Widget for ACF Repeater and Elementor

Ever struggled with placing Contact Form 7 forms exactly where you want on your web site? Normally, to display a Contact Form 7 form, you need to copy a shortcode like [contact-form-7 id="123"] and paste it in the right place. One wrong character and the form breaks. If you have 10 pages with different forms, managing all those shortcodes becomes a headache. ACF Field for CF7 solves this. It adds a simple dropdown field with help of Advanced Custom Fields to your page editor that lists all your Contact Form 7 forms. Just pick the form you want and it’s done. It shows up on your page. No shortcodes to copy. No code to write. No mistakes. Before vs After This Plugin Without this plugin: 1. Create a form in Contact Form 7. 2. Copy the shortcode. 3. Paste it into your page, widget, or template. 4. Hope you didn’t mistype anything. 5. Repeat for every page that needs a different form. With this plugin: 1. Create a form in Contact Form 7. 2. Add a Advanced Custom Field for Contact Form 7 to your desired location. 3. Pick Contact Form from a dropdown field. 4. Done.

For Developers: Quick Start Register an ACF field with type contact_form_7, then output it in your template: // Display the form directly echo get_field( 'your_form_field' ); Need the CF7 form object instead of rendered HTML? Use this filter: add_filter( 'acf_cf7_object', '__return_true' ); Now get_field() returns the WPCF7_ContactForm object for full control over the output. Real-World Examples • Landing Pages — Each landing page has its own lead capture form. Editors pick which form appears — no developer needed. • Service Pages — A web agency builds one template for all service pages. Each page shows a different inquiry form selected by the client. • Site-Wide Default Form — Use with ACF option pages to set one global “Contact Us” form across headers, footers, or sidebars. • Multi-Language Sites — Different forms for different languages, each selected per page through the editor.

⚠️ Requires Elementor Pro Tired of ACF Repeater fields that won’t cooperate with Elementor? Repeater2Template fixes that — instantly. Connect any repeater data source to any Elementor template and watch every row render exactly how you designed it. No PHP. No shortcodes. No workarounds. Whether you’re working with ACF Repeater fields, a raw JSON array, or a live API endpoint — this widget loops through your data and outputs each item using your own Elementor saved template. Full design control, fully native experience. 🎥 See It In Action: 💡 Key Features 🔌 3 data sources, one widget — ACF Repeater, JSON Array, or live data from any JSON URL / API. 🎨 Design freedom — pick any Elementor Pro saved template to render each row your way. 🗂 Flexible ACF sources — current post, any specific post by ID, or a global ACF Options Page. 🏷 Subfield-to-dynamic-tag mapping — keeps your templates clean, reusable, and truly dynamic. 🌐 Live API rendering — inject dynamic parameters into JSON URLs for real-time, context-aware content. 🔢 Row limit control — display only a set number of items from any data source. ✅ 100% no-code — built entirely inside Elementor. If you can drag a widget, you can use this. 🔁 Flexible ACF Data Sources Real-world projects rarely keep all data tied to the current post. That’s why Repeater2Template supports three ACF source types: Current Post → repeater data tied to the page being viewed. Specific Post (by ID) → use any post as a centralized “data hub” — reuse it across unlimited templates without duplication. Options Page → pull from any registered ACF Options Page for global content like team sections, banners, menus, or footers. Centralize once. Reuse everywhere. 🌐 JSON Array & JSON URL — No ACF Needed Not an ACF user? No problem. Repeater2Template handles raw JSON just as powerfully. Two JSON modes: JSON Array — paste your data directly into the widget. Instant, portable, zero setup. [ { “title”: “Book A”, “author”: “Author X”, “image”: “https://example.com/book1.jpg” }, { “title”: “Book B”, “author”: “Author Y”, “image”: “https://example.com/book2.jpg” } ] JSON URL — fetch live data from any internal or external API endpoint. Supports dynamic URL parameters (post ID, category, user meta, and more). Perfect for product feeds, API-driven testimonials, blog lists, or user-specific content. The plugin parses the response automatically and renders each object using your Elementor template. Example: https://api.example.com/books?category=fiction&user_id={{user_id}} ⭐ What Builders Are Saying “Extremely simple and yet so powerful!” — davidedev “Saves tons of time and just works — super intuitive!” — akhileshtenguriya “This is literally a gem.

Select your data source: ACF Repeater — pick your field by key or name. JSON URL / Array — paste your JSON or enter a URL. Step 3: Connect & Done Select the Elementor template from Step 1. The widget loops through every item and renders each one using your template — automatically. No PHP. No shortcodes. No headaches.
