Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor vs DynamicTags

Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor is a powerful plugin that bridges the gap between Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) repeater fields and Elementor’s dynamic content capabilities. It allows you to use ACF repeater field values directly in Elementor Loop Items and Loop Grids through Dynamic Tags. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor is an independent third-party plugin by WP Luna. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Elementor. Requirements This plugin requires the following: WordPress 6.0 or higher PHP 7.4 or higher Elementor 3.8 or higher Elementor Pro 3.8 or higher for Loop Grid/Loop Carousel features Secure Custom Fields or Advanced Custom Fields Pro with Repeater/Flexible Content field support Please ensure you have these plugins installed and activated before using Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor. Compatibility boundary Version 2.6.0 is verified with classic Elementor Loop Grid and Loop Carousel widgets. Atomic Elements inside Loop Grids remain an upstream Elementor limitation and are not claimed as supported. Automatic context resolves Elementor’s configured preview post, queried term or author objects, the current post, and the ACF Options page fallback. Free users can also select Current Post, Queried Object, or Options directly. Pro adds Current User and explicit post, user, taxonomy-term, or Options object IDs. The free package boots safely without premium field types, but a compatible Repeater field provider is required before row fields can be created or rendered. Version 2.6.0 was validated with Elementor 4.2.3, Elementor Pro 4.2.2, and Secure Custom Fields 6.9.5. Premium source and premium REST routes are excluded from the free package.
