  1. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 2.6.0Latest

    • Accordion rows as one accordion (Pro)
    • Added Treat rows as one accordion to a Loop Grid’s new Accordion Rows section (shown when ACF Rows is on, default off). Each row’s Elementor Accordion widget keeps rendering on its own, and the plugin links the rows as they render.
    • Made every generated accordion item ID unique to its row, together with the aria-controls and aria-labelledby pairs that reference it; custom CSS IDs on items are left as authored.
    • Kept the widget’s default state only for the list’s first accordion, so First expanded opens one item for the whole list and the list has one tab stop.
    • Removed the per-row FAQ schema blocks and printed one FAQPage block for all rows after the Loop Grid; background renders (editor previews, AJAX and REST refreshes) rewrite rows but print no schema.
    • Added a frontend script that closes the open item in other rows when an item opens (unless the widget allows multiple), moves focus through every row with the arrow keys, Home, and End, keeps a single roving tab stop, and folds rows added by Load More or filters into the list closed.
    • Supported Flexible Content row sources: only layouts mapped to an accordion Loop Item take part, the first accordion row starts open even when another layout precedes it, and every row keeps its own layout template.
    • Kept a Loop Grid nested inside a grouped row as its own list, and gave an accordion nested inside a row’s accordion item unique IDs without changing its state.
    • Showed the switch disabled with an upgrade notice in the free build. The mode is offered on Loop Grid only.
    • ACF Repeater Text tag
    • Listed Post Object and Relationship sub-fields in the tag’s Repeater Field dropdown. A post value resolves to its title, so one Post Object sub-field can drive a linked title with the Text tag and its permalink with the Url tag. A sub-field returning Post ID still renders the numeric ID; prefer the…
    • Compatibility
    • Verified with Elementor 4.2.3, Elementor Pro 4.2.2, and Secure Custom Fields 6.9.5. The legacy Accordion widget (hidden from the panel since Elementor 3.15) has no dynamic content field and is not part of this mode.
    • Validation
    • Added unit coverage for ID and aria rewriting, custom IDs, collapse and tab-stop handling, schema extraction and aggregation, Flexible Content rows without an accordion, nested rows and multi-source rows, nested loops, nested accordions, background renders, and untouched grids.
    • Added Playwright coverage for cross-row closing, Enter and Space activation, multiple-open widgets, keyboard navigation, nested loops, appended and replaced rows, and unmarked containers, plus a marked LocalWP fixture with a grouped Repeater grid, a grouped Flexible Content grid mixing FAQ and Note…

  2. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 2.5.0

    • Row-scoped nested Repeater loops
    • Scoped a nested Repeater row source rendered by a Loop Grid or Loop Carousel inside a Repeater or Flexible Content Loop Item to the parent row that owns those nested rows.
    • Preserved ACF row order and the complete row index path for every scoped row so deeper nesting, row-value tags, and row-scoped Relationship queries keep working inside the inner loop.
    • Kept a parent row without nested rows authoritative so its inner loop renders empty instead of showing another row’s children.
    • Matched parent rows produced by the classic top-level Repeater source (including Repeaters inside Groups) as well as registry-based nested and Flexible Content sources.
    • Loop Item editing
    • Added the opt-in Allow nested Loop widgets setting to a Loop Item’s ACF Repeater Loop Settings; it puts Elementor’s Loop Grid and Loop Carousel back in that template’s widget panel immediately, and only for that template.
    • Previewed the nested rows of the representative parent row when a Loop Item that contains a nested Loop widget is edited on its own, matching the row its Repeater dynamic tags preview.
    • Row-scoped Relationship queries
    • Extended active-row scoping to parent rows produced by the classic top-level Repeater source, so a Relationship Loop Grid inside a Repeater Loop Item now follows its own row instead of aggregating every row.
    • Nested Elementor loops
    • Fixed one virtual row per request rendering as the site’s front page (or another template preview post) when Elementor’s preview manager resolved the row’s virtual ID to a Theme Builder template with a configured preview. Every such switch is now unwound, not only a switch that landed on the same p…
    • Rebound the outer Loop Grid or Loop Carousel to Elementor’s shared skin after a nested Loop widget of the same type renders, so later outer rows keep their own Loop Item and settings instead of the inner widget’s.
    • Rendered a Loop widget empty when its Loop Item is already rendering one of that widget’s own rows, preventing self-referencing Loop Items from recursing without end.
    • Reported a current-object query without rows as empty so Elementor’s Nothing Found message renders instead of an empty loop container.
    • Compatibility
    • A nested source rendered outside a matching parent row, at the same depth as the parent row, or from another ACF object keeps its flattened whole-object behavior.
    • The inner loop must resolve the same ACF object as the outer loop; Automatic context does this on the object that owns the fields, and explicit contexts must match.
    • No saved Elementor settings are renamed or migrated, and no custom PHP is required for the nested row workflow.
    • Validation
    • Added unit coverage for row-scoped nested sources, classic and group-prefixed parent paths, layout isolation, empty parent rows, standalone Loop Item preview rows, shared-skin rebinding, and the self-referencing render guard.
    • Added a marked LocalWP fixture with three parent rows of two, one, and zero nested rows plus real WordPress frontend, Loop Item editor, desktop, and mobile browser coverage.

  3. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 2.4.9

    • Row-scoped Relationship/Post Object queries
    • Scoped nested Loop Grid and Loop Carousel Relationship queries to the active Repeater or Flexible Content row that owns the selected field path.
    • Preserved the order configured in ACF or Secure Custom Fields for every row, including repeated instances of the same Flexible Content layout.
    • Kept an empty active row authoritative so it cannot inherit posts selected by another row.
    • Nested Elementor loops
    • Preserved real related-post context while a Relationship Loop Grid renders inside a virtual row Loop Item.
    • Pinned Flexible Content skin settings through nested Loop Grid rendering so later rows retain their own layout-to-template mappings.
    • Compatibility
    • Top-level and out-of-row Relationship queries keep their existing source-object aggregation behavior.
    • No saved Elementor settings are renamed or migrated, and no custom PHP is required for the nested row workflow.
    • Validation
    • Added unit coverage for repeated layouts, layout isolation, empty rows, top-level fallback, and nested real-post context.
    • Added a marked LocalWP fixture plus real WordPress, Elementor editor, desktop, and mobile browser coverage.

  4. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 2.4.8

    • Elementor dynamic-tag controls
    • Restored the ACF Repeater Text Advanced section when the plugin prebuilds Elementor’s dynamic-tag control stack.
    • Before, After, and Fallback now appear in the actual Elementor editor registration path.
    • Options-page Loop Item previews
    • Repeated a saved row-schema lookup against the ACF Options page when the selected Elementor preview post has no rows.
    • Kept post-specific preview rows authoritative whenever the preview object contains data.

  5. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 2.4.7

    • ACF Repeater Text output controls
    • Added native Before, After, and Fallback controls under the dynamic tag’s Advanced section.
    • Applied Before and After only when the selected field has a value, and returned Fallback by itself when it is empty.
    • Preserved zero as a populated value and retained the existing output when all three controls are blank.
    • Compatibility
    • Kept ACF Repeater Text as a plain Elementor Data Tag and left image, URL, gallery, file, and other structured-value tags unchanged.

  6. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 2.4.6

    • Fragment and relative Repeater URLs
    • Fixed ACF Link subfields using the Link URL return format dropping fragment-only links such as #information-we-collect.
    • Preserved root-relative URLs while continuing to sanitize all scalar URL values through WordPress.
    • Compatibility
    • Absolute URLs, email links, media fields, relationships, taxonomy links, Loop Item editor previews, and frontend row context behavior remain unchanged.

  7. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 2.4.5

    • Frontend context isolation
    • Fixed Automatic context using a Loop Item’s saved Preview Post on normal frontend requests instead of the actual queried post.
    • Limited saved Elementor Preview Post resolution to Elementor edit and preview modes.
    • Compatibility
    • Loop Item editor previews continue to use their selected sample post, while frontend Loop Grids and Loop Carousels use each viewed post’s own rows.

  8. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 2.4.4

    • Loop Item autosave preview
    • Fixed Repeater dynamic tags rendering empty values when the selected Preview Post existed only in the current editor user’s Elementor autosave.
    • Resolved the active Loop Item through Elementor’s autosave-aware document API while preserving the published-document fallback.
    • Compatibility
    • The override remains limited to authenticated Elementor AJAX requests for this plugin’s Repeater tags; frontend rendering and unrelated dynamic tags are unchanged.

  9. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 2.4.1

    • Trial and pricing alignment
    • Updated the paid Pro trial from 3 days to 7 days to match the current Freemius checkout configuration.
    • Kept the payment-method requirement and existing plan, license, and entitlement behavior unchanged.
    • Compatibility
    • No Loop Grid, Loop Carousel, field-provider, editor-control, saved-setting, or frontend-rendering behavior changed.

  10. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 2.4.0

    • Editor-only Context Inspector
    • Added an opt-in Troubleshooting panel to Elementor Loop Grid and Loop Carousel widgets that use ACF or Secure Custom Fields rows.
    • Reports the resolved field provider, object context, row source, row count, and representative-row metadata without exposing row values.
    • Pro also reports stable source paths, Flexible Content template mappings, Relationship/Post Object paths and counts, row search/sort state, filtering, pagination, and public-refresh security.
    • Privacy, security, and compatibility
    • Keeps the inspector disabled by default and sends no request until it is enabled on the current widget.
    • Requires an authenticated nonce plus permission to edit the active Elementor document and accepts only a strict settings allowlist.
    • Adds no inspector markup, buttons, styles, or visual changes to the preview canvas or frontend.
    • Adds no setting renames, removals, automatic migrations, or behavior changes to existing widgets.
    • Validation
    • Added metadata-leakage, provider, context, Options fallback, all-posts, Flexible Content, row-query, and Relationship/Post Object unit coverage.
    • Added real Elementor Loop Grid and Loop Carousel browser coverage for default-off behavior, context resolution, AJAX results, toggle cycling, visual quality, and zero canvas/frontend output.

  11. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 2.3.0

    • Row discovery controls (Pro)
    • Added opt-in search across selected scalar Repeater or Flexible Content row fields.
    • Added stable text, number, and date sort options with configurable labels and default direction.
    • Added number/date minimum and maximum filters plus Flexible Content layout filtering.
    • Added isolated, optional URL state and support for multiple independently controlled Loop Grids or Loop Carousels.
    • Compatibility and behavior
    • Applied taxonomy filtering, row search, ranges, and sorting before one final pagination step.
    • Kept every new control disabled by default; no existing widget settings or Loop Item markup are changed.
    • Added Elementor Style controls for the opt-in public control group.
    • Validation
    • Added unit coverage for field discovery, Group paths, search, stable sorting, ranges, invalid bounds, layout filtering, widget isolation, and taxonomy-filter composition.
    • Added isolated browser coverage for state transport, stale-request cancellation, URL isolation, and 500-row response performance.

  12. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 2.2.0

    • Product name
    • Renamed the customer-facing product to Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor, following Elementor’s trademark guidance.
    • Preserved the existing plugin folder, main file, WordPress.org slug, text domain, Freemius identity, saved settings, and internal identifiers so updates remain backward-compatible.
    • Deep Relationship/Post Object queries (Pro)
    • Added stable field-key paths through Groups, Flexible Content layouts, nested Repeaters, and mixed container combinations.
    • Flattened posts selected across multiple nested rows, removed duplicates, and preserved the first configured occurrence and field order.
    • Added Relationship query controls to Loop Carousel as well as Loop Grid.
    • Backward compatibility
    • Preserved existing top-level field-name and repeater:subfield settings without automatic migrations.
    • Kept legacy saved selectors visible while editing existing widgets without offering name-based paths to new widgets.
    • Added no frontend controls, panels, or visual markup.

  13. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 2.1.0

    • Elementor Pro Taxonomy Filter integration (Pro)
    • Added an opt-in bridge from Elementor Pro’s Taxonomy Filter widget to taxonomy fields stored in Repeater rows.
    • Preserved Elementor Pro’s Taxonomy Filter markup, styling, URL state, multi-select behavior, and pagination/Load More controls.
    • Limited Taxonomy Filter term choices to terms used by the configured current-object rows when empty terms are hidden.
    • Applied row filtering before pagination so matches from later pages remain available.
    • Backward compatibility
    • Kept the existing built-in custom filter, saved controls, URL parameters, and frontend markup unchanged when the Elementor Pro integration is not enabled.
    • Made the Elementor Pro integration explicitly opt-in and mutually exclusive with the existing custom filter for each Loop Grid.
    • Added no setting renames, removals, or automatic migrations.
    • Validation
    • Added unit coverage for query isolation, multi-term OR, AND, NOT IN, child terms, and filter-before-pagination behavior.
    • Added real Elementor browser coverage for Taxonomy Filter term discovery, REST refresh, Load More, multi-select, empty results, and mobile viewport fit.

  14. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 2.0.1

    • Compatibility
    • Restored the established field-provider behavior: Secure Custom Fields and Advanced Custom Fields Pro are both supported through their shared runtime API.
    • Kept Elementor as the only hard WordPress.org plugin dependency because the dependency header cannot express alternative providers.

  15. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 1.2.1

    • Lightbox visual compatibility
    • Removed plugin-generated buttons from Loop items and removed the editor diagnostic overlay.
    • Restored the lightbox to a dim overlay containing the cloned Loop item, with no generated title, white panel, toolbar, or footer.
    • Kept nested links and form controls interactive while non-interactive card clicks open the lightbox.
    • Prevented site-wide button styles from adding backgrounds, borders, or rounded shapes to close and previous/next controls.
    • Elementor editor
    • Applied width, height, padding, background, navigation, and close-control changes to an already-open lightbox preview.
    • Restored Content Height sizing on the cloned Loop item and its background-bearing Elementor root instead of sizing only the modal wrapper.
    • Preserved Loop Carousel item deduplication and editor document-handle access without adding template markup.
    • Packaging
    • Kept the Freemius source header neutral while labeling licensed premium installs as PRO without duplicating an existing suffix.

  16. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 1.2.0

    • Context controls
    • Added one normalized ACF context resolver for Loop Grid, Loop Carousel, relationship queries, filters, and signed filter refreshes.
    • Added Automatic, Current Post, Queried Object, and Options selectors to Free; Pro also supports Current User and explicit post, user, taxonomy-term, or Options IDs.
    • Added editor context diagnostics; these were removed in 1.2.1 because they imposed visible UI on the canvas.
    • Elementor editor
    • Restored lightbox opening inside AJAX-rendered Loop Grid and Loop Carousel previews.
    • Added per-item lightbox trigger buttons; these were removed in 1.2.1 in favor of the existing card click surface.
    • Restored all Pro lightbox Style controls for both Loop Grid and Loop Carousel.
    • Reliability
    • Preserved non-post ACF object IDs through virtual rows and signed filter requests.
    • Avoided enqueueing frontend dependencies inside editor AJAX and REST render responses.

  17. Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor 1.1.0

    • Security
    • Replaced arbitrary public document rendering with signed, expiring render contexts bound to published content and an owned Loop Grid/Carousel widget.
    • Blocked anonymous private, draft, password-protected, malformed, and cross-document render requests with controlled REST errors.
    • Changed editor REST permissions from generic edit_posts checks to edit_post checks for the requested document.
    • Correctness
    • Removed the site-wide SQL rewrite that stripped post__not_in exclusions from unrelated queries.
    • Added request-local, collision-safe virtual row IDs and row-level pagination for current-object repeaters.
    • Fixed empty relationship queries, preserved ACF relationship order, and corrected multi-term OR filtering.
    • Corrected media, URL, relationship, taxonomy, and multi-value dynamic-tag formatting.
    • Premium
    • Scoped multiple filters to their owning widget, localized the REST URL, and prevented stale responses from replacing newer results.
    • Consolidated feature registration behind the active Freemius entitlement and updated Freemius SDK to 2.13.4.
    • Reworked the lightbox to preserve interactive content and provide buttons, accessible names, focus management, keyboard controls, and reduced-motion support.
    • Compatibility and maintenance
    • Raised the Elementor/Elementor Pro minimum to 3.8, added Requires Plugins headers, dependency notices, scoped asset loading, uninstall cleanup, and graceful missing-SDK behavior.
    • Added PHPUnit, WordPress runtime, package-boundary, and Playwright regression suites for free and premium builds.
