Hi,
Is there a shortcode for repeater-field?

Regards, Sebastian

Shortcodes in acf are only meant for “Basic” field types.

It is possible to show the value of a basic field type in a repeater if you use the correct field name. Here is how repeater fields are stored

"{$repeater}_{$index}_{$sub_field}"

// $repeater = name of the repeater field
// $index = the row, starting at 0
// $sub_field = name of the sub field

Hey John, thanks for the support.

Could such a solution work?

function acf_shortcode() {
    ob_start();
    ?> 
     custom field php here
    <?php
    return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode( 'shortcode_tag','acf_shortcode' );

Custom shortcodes are always a possible solution. Yes, you could create your own shortcode and supply parameters to output rows of a repeater.
