Background of the issue:
I’ve created a custom post type using ACF to display exhibitions for an art gallery. The layout for each exhibition is built using Beaver Themer. For each exhibition, I use an ACF Repeater field to list all participating artists, and I display their information using the Beaver Builder Loop module. The site is primarily in French, with English translations managed via WPML. Everything works as expected in French, but in the English version, the Loop module does not display any content. As a workaround, I used a Beaver Builder HTML module with the [wpbb-acf-repeater] shortcode to manually code the output, and that works perfectly — even in English. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

Symptoms:
In the English version, the Loop module does not display any content. Only the background of the Loop module is displayed in the English version — the actual content is missing.

Questions:
Why does the Beaver Builder Loop module not display content in the English version?
How can I ensure the ACF repeater field content is displayed in both languages using the Loop module?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us.

It's not clear to me what is the configuration for the ACF fields group, can you share some screenshots?

Hi Laura,

Here you go:
Image 1 – hidden link

Basically, we have four “regular” ACF fields, followed by a repeater field that contains five subfields.

These are displayed using a Beaver Themer layout. Here’s an example in French:

We’re using a Loop module to display the repeater content:
Image 3 – hidden link

It works fine in French, but the repeater content doesn’t display in the English version. To make it work in English, we had to fall back on hardcoding it using an HTML module and the [wpbb-acf-repeater] shortcode.

Thanks for your help!

Best,
Claude

I see we have some open issues with Beaver Builder, even if not specifically the one you describe. But it might fall under the same umbrella.

If I provide you a clean Sandbox, could you install BB and try to reproduce?
