How to set up the ACF Repeater Field Type?

Step 1: Add The Repeater Module

Module Options:

• Repeater Type: ACF Repeater Field Type (ACF Pro).
• Repeater Name: Choose the ACF Repeater Field that you have created.

Step 2: Select The Repeater Field Style

Module Options:

• Repeater Field Style: Choose how you want to handle the repeater field type, for example tabs or accordion. Your options are:
  1. Loop Layout
     • Used to repeat a Divi Library layout that you create.
  2. Table
     • Put the ACF values in a table - needs to be basic fields such as text.
  3. Tabs
     • Make tabs from the repeater field.
  4. Accordion
     • Make accordions from the repeater field.

Step 3: Customize The Field Style

This step will change depending on what you are wanting to create (see above).

Field Style: Loop Layout

If you choose “Loop Layout” in the Repeater Field Style, you will see a new setting called “Repeater Loop Layout”. Here you need to select a Divi Library Layout that you have created to repeat for each Repeater ACF Row.

• Create a new Section in the Divi Library.
• Add the ACF Item modules and choose the Repeater children ACF fields.
• Add whatever else you want and style up the layout.

This will now be repeated over and over for each row added in ACF settings.
