I updated the code to run as I mentioned above. You can find it here:

https://gist.github.com/FranciscoG/c393d9bc6e0a89cd79d1fd531eccf627

I also forgot to mention that it will parse shortcodes within the repeater rows

[acf_repeater field="my-row" sub_fields="full-name,phone-num"]
name: %full-name%
[another_shortcode]phone: %phone-num%[/another_shortcode]
[/acf_repeater]

Caveat: You can not do nested repeater rows. However you need to you can just duplicate the add_shortcode and add more shortcode repeaters shortcodes and it will work. There’s probably a much better way to handle unrestricted amount of sub-repeaters but that’s a lot more work and testing for another day

add_shortcode("acf_repeater", "my_acf_repeater");
add_shortcode("acf_sub_repeater", "my_acf_repeater");

[acf field="{$repeater_name}_{$row}_{$sub_field_name}"]

I found this thread searching for ACF Repeater Shortcode and it was very helpful because I didn’t know that syntax above and it helped me created a shortcode to implement a loop that I think you all might find helpful.

function my_acf_repeater($atts, $content='') {
  extract(shortcode_atts(array(
    "field" => null,
    "post_id" => null
  ), $atts));
  
  $_content = '';
  $row = 0;
  if( have_rows($field, $post_id) ):
    while ( have_rows($field, $post_id) ) : the_row();
      $_tmp = str_replace('%ROW%', $row, $content);
      $_content .= do_shortcode( $_tmp ) . '<br>';
      $row++;
    endwhile;
  else :  
    $_content = "$field does not have any rows";
  endif;

  return $_content;
}

add_shortcode("acf_repeater", "my_acf_repeater");

and you can use it like this:

[acf_repeater field="my-row"]
name: [acf field='my-row_%ROW%_full-name']
phone: [acf field='my-row_%ROW%_phone-num']
[/acf_repeater]

%ROW% will be replaced with current row number.

What I’m working on next is updating the shortcode so that it can work like this:

[acf_repeater field="my-row" sub_fields="full-name,phone-num"]
name: %full-name%
phone: %phone-num%
[/acf_repeater]

This will make it a little easier to read
