Hello,

I purchased Options Page and Repeater Field in hopes of tackling a pending problem I have within WordPress.

Can someone please offer some advice in regards to achieving this in WordPress?

• Main Product page (1) that lists Product Families
– Next level is individual Product Family page (2) that
lists all the products that make up a Family
• Third level is the individual Product Page (3)

• My goal is to have the user enter the data once
via fields on the Product page and have that
flow to the Family and Main product pages.

• The other question is how to get the fields on
the Main Product page and the Family page to
loop?

I’ve included a .pdf with an example.

Thanks so much to anyone who may offer a solution for this problem.

Hi @mcaus

It sounds like you want to create a product archive with categories.

I would do this:

1. Create a post type called ‘product’
2. Create a taxonomy called ‘product-category’ and connect it to ‘product’
3. Create a template file from the product archive ‘product-archive’ and create a custom loop that loops through all the categories. Each category should have a thumbnail which you can use ACF for
4. Create a template field for the taxonomy archive ‘taxonomy-product-category’ and allow this to loop through and render out the products in this category
5. Create a template for a sibgle product ‘single-product’ and this renders a single view. You can use ACF to populate field data for this product.

I don’t think you will need the options page for this.

Good luck

Cheers
