Dynamic Repeater

Connect any Elementor repeater widget to a live data source. Map fields, apply in one click, and bind pages to update automatically at render time.

How it works

The Dynamic Repeater Builder adds a ✦ Dynamic Populate button next to every repeater control. Clicking it opens a modal where you:

Choose a source (WordPress Posts, Taxonomy Terms, ACF Repeater, or raw JSON).
Configure the source.
Open the Mapping tab and connect source fields to repeater sub-fields.
Hit Apply.

INFO

Runtime binding goes further: bind a widget on a Loop Item template and ECS injects the correct rows per post at render time.

Data sources

WordPress Posts

Config	Description
Post Type	Any registered post type
Posts per page	Row limit. `-1` for all.
Order by	date / title / menu_order / modified / rand
Order	ASC / DESC
Taxonomy filter	Filter by taxonomy and terms

Tokens: {post_title}, {post_excerpt}, {post_date}, {post_author}, {permalink}, {thumbnail_url}, {thumbnail_id}

Taxonomy Terms

Tokens: {name}, {slug}, {description}, {count}, {term_link}

ACF Repeater

INFO

Requires ACF Pro.

Config	Description
Field name	The ACF field slug. Autocomplete dropdown.
Post ID	Optional. Empty = currently queried post.

Raw JSON

[
  { "title": "Starter", "price": "$0",  "cta": "Get Free" },
  { "title": "Pro",     "price": "$49", "cta": "Buy Now"  }
]

Field mapping

Column	Description
Expression	Token like `{post_title}`, combination `{first} {last}`, or literal
Fallback	Static value when expression resolves to empty
Skip if empty	Omit the field if the value is empty

{post_title}                   ← single field
{first_name} {last_name}       ← concatenation
Designed by {author}           ← mixed static + dynamic
{thumbnail_id}                 ← numeric ID (for image[id])

Apply vs Runtime Binding

Apply (one-time)

Generates rows now and writes them into the widget's repeater data. Re-apply to re-sync.

Runtime Binding

Intercepts Elementor's page data at render time and injects the correct rows for the queried post. A Slides widget on a Loop Item template shows the ACF repeater data for each post.

WARN

Runtime binding disables the Elementor element cache for bound documents to prevent cross-post contamination.

Caching

Option	Default	Description
Use cache	On	Caches source rows in a transient
Cache TTL	300s	Set 0 to always fetch fresh
Apply mode	Replace	Replace or Append
Empty state	Keep	When source returns zero rows
