By default, Loop Grid doesn’t let users filter posts or products easily, that’s where this addon comes in. ### Important This plugin does not currently support Elementor’s Widget Cache feature. Please disable it to ensure proper functionality. It is built specifically for people using **Elementor Pro + ACF** (Advanced Custom Fields), allowing to add **dropdown filters**, show how many posts or products are in each **category**, and even **hide terms** you don’t want to show. Think of it as a missing piece that gives **Elementor Pro** superpowers when working with repeater fields and dynamic layouts. [**View Demo**](https://coolplugins.net/loop-grid-extender-for-elementor-pro/?utm_source=lge_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=demo&utm_content=check_demo) ### KEY FEATURES * **ACF Repeater Field Support with Elementor Pro**: Directly use ACF Pro’s Repeater fields inside Elementor Pro’s dynamic widgets through the Loop Grid widget. It means you can display complex, repeated content without writing any code. * **Dropdown Display for Filters:** You can easily filter posts or products by categories, tags, or custom taxonomies using dropdown menus. * **Post/Product Count Display:** Display the number of posts or products available next to each filter option, helping visitors quickly see how many items are in each category before they choose to filter. * **Exclude Specific Taxonomies or Terms:** Exclude unwanted taxonomy terms like“ Uncategorized” or any other custom terms from the filter list. * **Custom Post Type & ACF Taxonomy Support:** The plugin fully supports custom post types and taxonomies created with ACF, ensuring that all your unique content types work with the filtering system. * **Multilingual + Multi-taxonomy (Pro)**: Build complex, language-aware filters across categories, tags, and custom taxonomies. * **Responsive, Optimized, Code-free**: Lightweight scripts, clean markup, and mobile-first design ensure performance. ### USE CASES * Building **FAQ or testimonial sections** with toggles and pop-ups using ACF repeater data. * Creating **WooCommerce product grids** with filters for size, color, and brand. * Crafting **team member directories**, **event listings**, or **portfolio galleries** with dynamic filter UI. * **Multilingual websites** requiring term-specific filtering. ### From Frustration to Solution Elementor users have been requesting **native support for ACF Repeater fields in Loop Grids, toggle/accordion widgets, and dynamic pop-ups** for years. For example, issue **[#5979](https://github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/5979)** on GitHub was opened 6+ years ago, stated: > _“I’m always frustrated when building a dynamic FAQ section using a custom post > type with ACF fields and Dynamic Pop‑up. Elementor Pro doesn’t support a repeater > functionality yet.”_ **[#5979](https://github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/5979)** **[#23185](https://github.com/orgs/elementor/discussions/23185)** Despite some advances, Elementor still lacks an intuitive way to: * Populate toggles, pop-ups, or loop templates with ACF repeater data, without custom PHP. * Add flexible filter UI (dropdowns or checkboxes) with taxonomy and post-count controls. Our plugin **directly addresses these gaps**. ### Explore More Cool Addons For Elementor * **[Cool FormKit For Elementor](https://coolplugins.net/cool-formkit-for-elementor-forms/?utm_source=lge_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=get_pro&utm_content=cfkef_more_plugins)**: Add advanced fields like conditional logic, range sliders, calculator fields, and country code selection to Elementor forms. * **[Conditional Fields For Elementor Form](https://coolplugins.net/product/conditional-fields-for-elementor-form/?utm_source=lge_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=get_pro&utm_content=cfef_more_plugins)**: An essential addon for Elementor forms that allows you to add conditional logic to input fields, enabling fields to show/hide based user input. * **[Country Code For Elementor Form Telephone Field](https://coolplugins.net/add-country-code-telephone-elementor-form/?utm_source=lge_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=blog&utm_content=ccfef_more_plugins)**: Enhances phone fields with a country code selection feature for accurate data input. * **[Timeline Widget for Elementor](https://cooltimeline.com/plugin/timeline-widget-pro/?utm_source=lge_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=get_pro&utm_content=twae_more_plugins)**: Use this plugin to showcase your history in a stylish vertical or horizontal timeline layout on Elementor pages. * **[Events Widgets for Elementor](https://eventscalendaraddons.com/plugin/events-widgets-pro/?utm_source=lge_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=get_pro&utm_content=ectbe_more_plugins)**: This plugin provides The Events Calendar widgets for Elementor, allowing you to easily display events in a grid, list, or carousel layout. **Use of 3rd Party Services:** This plugin connects to the Cool Plugins feedback server only for optional usage data sharing and voluntary feedback submission (for example, during plugin deactivation).

No. This plugin extends the **Elementor Pro** Loop Grid and requires both **Elementor Pro** and optionally **ACF Pro** for Repeater field support. ### Is ACF Pro required to use the repeater features? Yes. Repeater fields are a **Pro-only feature in ACF**, so you must have **ACF Pro** installed and active to use repeater integration. ### Can I use this with Flexible Content fields from ACF? Not yet. Support is currently limited to ACF Repeater fields. **Flexible Content support is on our roadmap** for future releases. ### Will this slow down my page? No. The plugin is optimized for performance. It loads minimal scripts and clean HTML, and filtering is handled efficiently using Elementor’s native AJAX. ### Can I style the filters (dropdowns/checkboxes)? Yes. The filters inherit your site’s theme styles. You can further customize them using Elementor’s widget settings or custom CSS. ### What happens if I deactivate ACF Pro? ACF-related fields will no longer render correctly. To use repeater functionality, ACF Pro must be active. ### Can I show images or videos inside ACF Repeater fields? Yes. You can display image fields as inline content or even use them in background sections. Video fields may require additional customization. ### How do I control which taxonomy terms show up in the filter? Use the plugin’s **“Exclude Terms”** option in the widget settings to hide specific terms or show only relevant ones. ### Does this plugin support nested repeaters? Currently, **nested repeater fields are not supported.** Support is planned based on demand and feasibility. ### Is this plugin compatible with FSE (Full Site Editing)? This plugin is specifically built for **Elementor Pro**‘s Loop Grid and is not tested with Gutenberg Full Site Editing. ### How can I report security bugs? You can report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team help validate, triage and handle any security vulnerabilities.

Elementor should honestly be paying you a commission for every Pro license they sell, because the fact that this functionality is still missing from paid Elementor Pro is unbelievable. Thank you so much for stepping in and creating such a powerful and truly essential plugin. It fills a huge gap and works brilliantly. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d6fb990e0766776ff3d4dc755fdecb7a126af720659a816da2450589685d517e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works great! Highly recommended](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-highly-recommended-5/)󠁿 [bobmartensen](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bobmartensen/) October 31, 2025 I’ve been using Loop Grid Extender for Elementor Pro and it’s a great addition for anyone working with dynamic content and ACF fields. It makes it much easier to create advanced layouts and custom filters right inside Elementor without touching code. The plugin feels lightweight and stable, and support from the developer has been fast and helpful. Highly recommended if you want more flexibility with Elementor’s Loop Grid! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/69a805b09b19fa7da096c581dc67abc04032a29d89b128488087cdcc2f41301e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It works, easy to use, just so perfect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-works-easy-to-use-just-so-perfect/)󠁿 [tahawahid](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tahawahid/) September 24, 2025 This plugin is a life saviour, its just perfect, while others loot you and compltely useless, this plugin actually solves your problem, trust me its the best plugin out there for repeater ACF fields ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a25ddaa547d2379fe94a6fd46db74c2c904209397ded966858c6655d2155950f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-10572/)󠁿 [ankit3477](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ankit3477/) September 8, 2025 Exactly what I was looking for.
