About Advanced Custom Fields Repeater Field Addon 2.1.0
This is the Repeater add-on for Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), made by Elliot Condon, ACF's author. A repeater field lets an editor add any number of rows, each with the same set of sub-fields, such as a list of team members or price rows. It requires ACF to be installed.
The file on record is version 2.1.0 from September 2017, and the listing says nothing else. Newer ACF PRO releases include the repeater field already, so this standalone add-on is mainly relevant for older ACF setups. Test it with your WordPress and ACF versions on a staging site first.
Requirements
- Advanced Custom Fields (the parent plugin)
Key features
- Repeater field type
- Adds a field that holds repeating rows of sub-fields.
- Rows of sub-fields
- Each row contains the same set of fields, such as text, image or link.
- Works inside ACF
- You create it in the ACF field group editor like other field types.
- Output in your theme
- Template code loops through the rows to display them.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Sites running an older ACF that need repeating groups
- Developers building custom content structures such as lists or tables
Look elsewhere if
- Sites on ACF PRO, which already includes the repeater field
- Anyone who doesn't edit theme templates, since output usually needs code
How to install Advanced Custom Fields Repeater Field Addon 2.1.0
- 1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
- 2
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the zip.
- 3
Install and activate
Click Install Now, then Activate. If an older or free copy is already installed, WordPress offers to replace it with the uploaded version.
Notes for this product
- Install Advanced Custom Fields first. If you use ACF PRO, you already have a repeater, so don't add this.
Setup: using Advanced Custom Fields Repeater Field Addon 2.1.0
- Confirm your ACF version. Check which ACF you run and whether it already has a repeater field.
- Activate the add-on. Activate it on a staging site, with ACF already active.
- Add a Repeater field. Create or edit a field group, add a field and choose Repeater as the type.
- Add sub-fields and output them. Add the sub-fields, fill a few rows in a post, and loop through the rows in your template.
Common problems and fixes
Repeater doesn't appear as a field type
- Why it happens
- ACF isn't active, or the add-on version doesn't match your ACF version.
- How to fix it
- Activate ACF first and check that the add-on matches the ACF release you run.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
