Last week our Education department released a video tutorial showing how you can use the Dynamic User Picture and Dynamic Number Tags added in Elementor Pro 2.7
And after getting tens of questions and requests:
We decided to share this little Custom Dynamic Tag that lets you set the ACF Number fields you want to calculate the average of.
Please note: that this is an example custom code snippet that comes with no support or guarantee and it is your responsibility to make sure it has no bad side-effects, meaning: Use at Your Own Risk!
Simply copy this into your functions.php and or custom plugin file and you should be set to go:
// custom Custom_Avg_Tag dynamic tag
add_action( 'elementor/dynamic_tags/register_tags', function( $dynamic_tags ) {
class Custom_ACF_Avg_Tag extends \Elementor\Core\DynamicTags\Tag {
public function get_name() {
return 'Custom_ACF_Avg_Tag';
}
public function get_categories() {
return [ 'number' ];
}
public function get_group() {
return [ 'site' ];
}
public function get_title() {
return 'ACF Average';
}
protected function _register_controls() {
$this->add_control(
'fields',
[
'label' => __( 'Fields', 'text-domain' ),
'type' => 'text',
]
);
}
public function render() {
$fields = $this->get_settings( 'fields' );
$sum = 0;
$count = 0;
$value = 0;
// Make sure that ACF if installed and activated
if ( ! function_exists( 'get_field' ) ) {
echo 0;
return;
}
foreach ( explode( ',', $fields ) as $index => $field_name ) {
$field = get_field( $field_name );
if ( (int) $field > 0 ) {
$sum += (int) $field;
$count++;
}
}
if ( 0 !== $count ) {
$value = $sum / $count;
}
echo $value;
}
}
$dynamic_tags->register_tag( 'Custom_ACF_Avg_Tag' );
} );This simply adds a new dynamic Tag named “ACF Average”:
And to use it, you enter the ACF field names you want to calculate their average, separated by a comma “,”:
Enjoy.

I would like to thank you for providing this custom code snippet to add an ACF Average field! This is super useful, and I’m already putting it to work.
However, I would like to note that I made one modification for my own purposes — rounding off the number so I didn’t end up with numbers like 68.33333333333%, messing up the aesthetic.
Line 71:
echo round($value,0);
This is the only change I made, and wanted to share it with everyone that wants to keep their numbers looking nice!
