How to Display Data from ACF Repeaters inside an Accordion

For creating a dynamic accordion in Elementor, we first have to design a layout for the content inside an accordion:

Step 1: Create a Repeater Block Layout

• Create a new AE Template and do the following configurations.

• Now save the template and edit with Elementor.
• In Elementor, now select appropriate Elementor widgets, and under the dynamic section select ACF Repeater fields accordingly.
