Loop Carousel
Pro feature: Requires Dynamic ACF Repeater for Elementor Pro.
Pro can provide SCF/ACF rows to Elementor's classic Loop Carousel in addition to Loop Grid.
Setup
- Build and configure the Loop Item schema as described in the Top-level Repeater Guide, Nested Repeater guide, or Flexible Content guide.
- Add Elementor's Loop Carousel widget and select the Loop Item.
- In Query, enable Use ACF Rows.
- Select ACF Row Source and the appropriate Repeater Context.
- Configure the carousel layout and breakpoints with Elementor's normal controls.
The plugin supplies the rows; Elementor owns the carousel's slides, responsive settings, and standard navigation.
Carousel and lightbox navigation
Elementor carousel navigation and Repeater Lightbox navigation are separate:
- Carousel controls move the visible slides on the page.
- Enable Previous/Next Navigation under Repeater Lightbox moves between unique items inside the open overlay.
The lightbox deduplicates cloned carousel slides so Elementor's internal looped-slide copies do not appear as extra lightbox items.
Multiple widgets
Pro supports multiple repeater-powered Loop Grids and Loop Carousels on the same page. Each widget keeps its own source, filter, context, and lightbox state.
Flexible Content
Flexible Content layout mapping uses the same ACF Flexible Content template type when available on the Loop Carousel. Map each layout to a Loop Item and choose the unmapped-layout behavior exactly as you would for a Loop Grid.
