01 / Interactive demonstration
Compare saved ACF labels, values and grouped choices
Compare actual native-rendered Checkbox and Radio samples: a vertical label list, grouped inline labels with values, a stored value and explicit empty cases. Native Elementor styles drive the customization. The synthetic export is not a live ACF connection to your site.

ACF choice list controls in Elementor
Source chooses One field or Selected fields. Behaviour sets empty hide/message. Display controls labels/values/both, headings, layout and optional icons. Style contains the list surface, responsive spacing/alignment and icon position/color/size/gap; enabled headings reveal a separate Field headings section.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use acf choice list
Selected ACF choices often need a readable list on the page. Display selections from one or several top-level Select, Checkbox or Radio fields, using their choice labels, stored values or both.
Services on a project page
List chosen services from a multi-select field using readable labels. Stored values can be shown when internal codes are useful to readers.
Several grouped attributes
Select several choice fields and show their field labels as headings. A Radio field can supply one category beside a Checkbox feature list.
04 / Installation and setup
How to display ACF choice list in Elementor
Start with Complementor installed and your license connected. Enable this module in the WordPress library, then configure it in Elementor.
Install Complementor and Advanced Custom Fields, connect your license and enable ACF choice list. Supported field types do not need ACF Pro.
Create an active applicable top-level Select, Checkbox or Radio field, define its choices and save actual selections on the source post/page.
Edit the source in Elementor. Add the widget and select One field or an ordered set of Selected fields.
Choose labels, values or both, optional headings, vertical/inline layout and empty hide/message behavior. Optionally enable a native icon.
Style the neutral surface, heading typography and responsive spacing/alignment. Publish, reopen and verify the intended public source.
05 / Content and style controls
Customize acf choice list in Elementor
Configure the settings available for this module to suit the page you are building.
Choose one or several applicable top-level Select, Checkbox or Radio fields. Key/name aliases resolve to actual schema without duplicate groups.
Show labels, stored values or both, with no heading, field label or field name. Groups follow selected-field order; items follow configured choice order.
Choose vertical or wrapping inline layout with responsive item/field spacing and alignment. Optional native icons have before/after placement, color and responsive size/gap.
Hide empty output or use an escaped editable message. Unsaved defaults and undefined stored choices do not create items.
Customize list typography/color, background, border, responsive padding and radius. Native controls can remove the neutral surface.
When headings are enabled, a separate Style section controls heading typography, color and responsive spacing.
06 / Choose the right approach
ACF choice list and Elementor alternatives
Compare the existing Elementor workflow with this Complementor module before choosing your setup.
Elementor Icon List or static text
Icon List suits manually maintained amenities or services. Complementor resolves saved ACF labels/order and groups selected fields, reducing manual duplication when those values change.
An available ACF dynamic tag or maintained template
Elementor documents Select, Checkbox and Radio support through its ACF dynamic content integration. Check the providers and formatting available in your edition first. Complementor adds configured-choice ordering, grouped fields, explicit label/value presentation and empty handling in a dedicated list widget; it is not the only way to display ACF data.
07 / Requirements and compatibility
ACF choice list compatibility with Elementor
- Requires active ACF and classic Elementor. Direct Select, Checkbox and Radio reading does not require Elementor Pro dynamic tags or ACF Pro.
- Uses applicable active local/database groups and persisted top-level values. Raw selections resolve against actual choices consistently across ACF value/label/both return formats.
- Frontend data comes from the current published, publicly viewable post/page without stored password. Authorized native editor preview uses the current saved source/revision parent and edit_post permission.
- Unsaved defaults do not assert a selection. Unknown choices, nested/group/repeater subfields, Options Page data and unrelated types are excluded.
- Unavailable private/missing sources are suppressed before empty fallback. Lists use semantic ul/li markup; optional icons decorate the text.
- This displays data rather than editing fields, submitting forms or hiding other widgets. Pro template/Loop integrations remain unverified; external caches can retain older output.
Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot acf choice list
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
The field is absent from the picker.
Confirm ACF is active, the field has a supported top-level type and its location rules apply to the current editor post. Nested repeater fields and options-page fields are not supported.
No choices appear on the page.
Save actual selections on the public post, verify the selected field and confirm each stored value still exists in its configured choices. A valid source with no matching selections follows your hide/message setting; private, password-protected or missing sources are suppressed entirely.
The published output differs after a field edit.
Refresh page, hosting and CDN caches, then check the published post directly. Verify its visibility, saved field values and ACF location rules before testing template placements.
ACF choice list plugin questions
Can I show ACF checkbox selections as an Elementor list?
Yes. Choose an applicable saved top-level Checkbox field and vertical or inline layout. Only selected defined choices appear.
Can I display labels instead of stored values?
Yes. Choose Labels, Stored values or Labels and values. Saved selections are mapped against the current field’s choice definitions.
Can I group several fields with headings?
Yes. Choose Selected fields and show field labels or names. Heading typography, color and spacing have independent native controls.
Why is an ACF default not shown?
An unsaved default is not a persisted selection. Save actual values on the source; empty saved data follows your hide/message setting.
Do I need Elementor Pro or ACF Pro?
Supported basic field types work through the direct reader with classic Elementor. Pro templates, loops, repeaters and Options Pages are not verified integrations.
Can I change icons and remove the list background?
Yes. Choose an optional native icon and style its position/color/size/gap. Background, border, padding and radius controls restyle or strip back the surface.
