Display ACF repeater field

Advanced Custom Fields Repeaters are infinitely useful, but notoriously hard to display. Many plugins and page builders that allow ACF fields don’t support repeaters.

Faced with having to install and support a reasonably complex plugin only for this one feature, I wrote a shortcode to simply display the fields. It’s pretty simple, and this repeater only has one field.

/* shortcode for displaying required posting repeater field from ACF*/

add_shortcode ('show-required', 'dnlt_show_required');
  function dnlt_show_required() {
    $pageID = get_the_ID(); // not required if within loop, but doesn't hurt 
    $content= '';
    if( have_rows('required_posting', $pageID) ) {
      $content .= '<ul>';
      while( have_rows('required_posting', $pageID) ) { 
        the_row();
          $content .= '<li>' .  get_sub_field('section_title') . '</li>';
        }
        $content .= '</ul>';
    }
    return $content;
}

To display this repeater in Elementor, use the shortcode widget, and enter: [show-required]
It can also be used anywhere else shortcodes are allowed.
