Creating a Field Group
- Create a Group:

- Click "Add New" to create a new group.
- Enter the Group Name (e.g., "Group1") and the Slug (e.g., "group1").
- Add multiple fields (both Simple and Repeater fields).
- After entering the necessary details, click "Save" to create the group.
Creating and Managing Fields with Ultimate Repeater
After creating the field group, we are provided with several options, including:
- Display on All Post Types/Pages: You can choose to display the field group on all posts and pages.
- Display on Specific Post Types/Pages: You can opt to show the field group on specific pages or posts.
Types of Fields:
-
Simple Fields: These are fields that accept a single entry (e.g.):
- Phone Name: A single text field for the title.
- Phone Image: A field for uploading an image.
-
Repeater Fields: These sub field allow you to add multiple entries under the Main Field (e.g.):
- Features: A repeater field where you can add multiple features with associated details like Title, images, and others.
-
Second-Level Repeater Fields: These nrested sub field allow you to add multiple entries under the Sub Field (e.g.)
- About feature: Under Features information, you can add additional feature details such as Title and images etc.
Adding and Managing Data for Posts/Pages
Simple Fields:
- These fields only accept one entry (e.g., Title, Image, etc.)
- Just fill in the data once.
Repeated Fields:
- These fields allow you to add multiple entries (e.g., Feature Name).
- Click "Add Row" to add more entries under the same field.
Second-Level Repeated Fields:
- These fields allow you to add multiple entries (e.g., Adding multiple Explain feature).
- Use "Add Row" to add more rows for each Explain feature.
Fetching and Displaying Data from a Custom Repeater Field
- The urf_get_repeater_with_labels() function retrieves repeater field data for a specific field group. The 'group1' argument represents the group slug, while get_the_ID() provides the target post ID.
- urf_get_repeater_with_labels('group1', get_the_ID());
The data is now displayed on the frontend, and we can use this data in HTML.
