JetEngine<\/em>\u2019s \u201cRepeater\u201d meta field allows you to display multi-value data, such as image galleries, service lists, etc. In this guide, you\u2019ll learn how to create a Listing template<\/strong> using a repeater field and showcase structured content effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Backend Preparations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

The \u201cRepeater\u201d field can be created with the JetEngine<\/em> or ACF <\/em>plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be adjusted for Custom Post Types (CPTs)<\/strong><\/a>, Custom Content Types (CCTs)<\/strong><\/a>, custom taxonomies<\/strong><\/a>, Meta Boxes<\/strong><\/a>, and Options Pages<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an example, we\u2019ll create a \u201cMedical Conferences\u201d CPT <\/strong>with a \u201cSpeakers\u201d repeater field<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create CPT and Repeater meta field<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, you need to create a CPT<\/strong> and fulfill all the needed values. You can find the needed information in the How to Create a Custom Post Type<\/strong><\/a> tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you prepared your CPT<\/strong>, it\u2019s time to create a \u201cRepeater\u201d meta field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We push the \u201cNew Meta Field<\/strong>\u201d button, fill in the Label <\/strong>and Name\/ID<\/strong>, and choose the \u201cRepeater\u201d Field type<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By clicking the \u201cNew Repeater Field<\/strong>\u201d button, we add four fields within the repeater: \u201cSpeaker Name\u201d text field<\/a>, \u201cSpecialization\u201d text field, \u201cPresentation Topic\u201d text field, and \u201cProfile Photo\u201d media field<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, the \u201cAdd\/Update Post Type<\/strong>\u201d button can be pressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fill the fields within posts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Go to the CPT<\/strong> tab on the WordPress Dashboard<\/strong>, edit each needed post, and add the needed information to the repeater fields. Remember to save updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with the Listing Template<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Create a new listing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Go to WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Listings\/Components<\/em><\/strong> and click the \u201cAdd New Item<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the \u201cRepeater Field\u201d as the Listing source<\/strong>. Pay attention to the following parameters you should set:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
