Loopers

Video Series • March 4, 2021

Have you ever wanted to have full stylistic control over the output of some recent posts on your website? Perhaps you've wanted to showcase a select few featured products from your WooComerce shop on your homepage? Maybe you have a custom post type full of information that you wish you had more flexibility with on the frontend of your site. Whatever the case may be, Loopers can cover all of this and much more!

When working with Loopers, there are different "Provider" types that you can use to access information from your WordPress installation. Follow along as we unpack these Looper Provider Types and explore how and when you might use them in your own designs.

Leveraging multiple Looper Providers in your designs can allow you to explore powerful new layout possibilities with your website. Follow along as we show just how easy it is to setup a "magazine" layout using multiple Looper Providers on our page.

As we have been learning in our Looper Series, the Looper Module is broken up into two different parts: Providers and Consumers. In this video we explore when you would want to approach a design that requires multiple Consumers to output alternate content styles form one Provider.

With the addition of four brand new Looper Providers, we're giving you even more access to information in your WordPress installation that you can pull through and style on your site. Follow along as we dive deep into an all new Design Cloud asset that puts these new-found powers to work!

Have you ever sat up late at night thinking to yourself: "I wonder if I could access data from a Google Sheet and output it on my site using a Looper Provider?" If you have, then you're in luck...follow along with Alex—Themeco's most intrepid code wrangler—on a journey unlike any other!

Loopers, loopers, loopers. It seems to be all anyone is talking about around here lately…and with good reason. Loopers open up so many possibilities when working on design patterns for your website, which is why we are incredibly excited to announce a brand new Looper Provider with this latest release cycle (and it's a biggie): ACF Pro Integration! 🥳 Follow along as we begin our ACF Pro journey with an example template that showcases just a few of the many possibilities opened up to our designs when pairing this industry standard plugin with our powerful Looper feature.

We have arrived! In the third (and final) installment of our series on using Loopers with ACF Pro, we explore the concept of Repeaters, which give us the ability to loop through custom lists of data for our designs. But we don't just stop there. We take things to a whole new level by showing you how (and why) you can nest Repeaters within other Repeaters to create complex datasets to achieve almost any type of output you can imagine.
