Use this when your repeater data is already structured in one of these plugins and you want to render it on the frontend without rebuilding the data structure. - **Multiple Layouts** — Select from multiple predefined layouts to display your repeater data. Use this when you want a consistent visual structure without building a custom layout manually for each field group. - **Multiple Block Support** — Use Heading, Image, Paragraph, Accordion, and other Nexter Blocks inside the Repeater block to render each field type. Use this when your repeater entries include mixed content types such as images, titles, and descriptions that each need a different block. ## How to Use the Repeater Block? To use the Repeater block, you have to add a repeater custom field using [ACF (Pro)](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/), [SCF](https://wordpress.org/plugins/secure-custom-fields/) or [Jet Engine](https://crocoblock.com/plugins/jetengine/). You can use any of these plugins. Here we are using the [SCF (Secure Custom Fields)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/secure-custom-fields/) plugin. For other plugins, the UI might be different, but the process will be similar. ### Create a Repeater Field For example, we will be creating a repeater field called “Steps List” with the following sub fields -  - Step Title (Text)  - Description (Textarea)  - Step Image (Image) 1. In the New Field Group page, add the field group name. 2. Then select the **Field Type** as **Repeater**. 3. After that, add the **Field Label**. 4. Then add the sub fields as per your requirements, for instance, we will be adding Step Title as text, Description as a textarea and Step Image as an image field. 5. After that, set the rules where you want to add these fields, for instance, we’ll be adding them to the blog posts. ### Add Data to Repeater Fields Now you have to add data in the repeater fields. So, edit one of the posts from the post type to which you have assigned the repeater fields, in our case, it is blog posts. ### Display Repeater Data with the Repeater Block Add the Repeater block to the page or post where you want to show the repeater data, then follow the steps -  1. From the **Source** dropdown, you have to select the post type to which you’ve added the repeater fields; in our case, it is Posts. 2. Then, from the **Repeater Field** dropdown, you have to select the appropriate repeater field; in our case, it is Steps List. 3. After that, from the third dropdown, you have to select the post where you’ve added the repeater data. 4. On the next screen, you can select a predefined layout or click the Skip button to create a custom layout using different blocks from Nexter Blocks. For instance, let's select **Standard (Visual + Text)** layout. This will create the layout using the Image, Heading and Dynamic HTML blocks from Nexter Blocks. From the **Content** tab, you can change the Post Type, Repeater Field and Post. From the **Extra Options** tab, you can adjust padding, no of columns, column gap and row gap.  5. To show the image, click on the Image block and click on the Dynamic Field option, then select the appropriate field name from the Dynamic URL dropdown; in our case, it is Step Image. Now you’ll see the image dynamically. 6. Then, for the text, click on the Heading block and click on the Dynamic Field option, then select the appropriate field name from the Dynamic Field dropdown; in our case, it is Step Title. 7. Now for the text area data, click on the Dynamic HTML block and click on the Dynamic Field option, then select the appropriate field name from the Dynamic Field dropdown; in our case, it is Description. > *Note: To show the text area data, you have to use the Dynamic HTML block.* As per our settings, now all the repeater data will show dynamically.
