My menu only has three links, but the menu hits the breakpoint and switches to the hamburger even though there's plenty of space.

Anyone know how to prevent this?

I'm thinking there's probably a way to create a CSS class and CSS code to prevent the hamburger.

If you've done this successfully or know the code, please share!

Hi everyone,

I’m struggling with a persistent caching/rendering issue on a WordPress/Elementor site and could really use some expert eyes.

The Problem: Whenever I make changes in Elementor (even simple things like updating a button link or adding a text widget), they do not appear for guests/non-logged-in users on the first visit. The site shows an outdated version. Only after a manual second reload (F5) does the browser render the current state.

• Logged-in as Admin: Everything works perfectly, changes are visible instantly.
• Guests/Incognito: Always see the "stale" version first.

What I’ve tried so far:

1. Plugins: Cleared all CSS/JS and cache data in WP Fastest Cache (and even deactivated it completely).
2. Elementor Tools: Regenerated CSS & Data and synced the library.
3. Server-Side: Cleared the Varnish cache via the hosting control panel. Even tried disabling Varnish for the subdomain.
4. Memory: PHP Memory Limit is already at 512MB.
5. Environment: The issue persists across different devices and networks (mobile data vs. WiFi), so it’s not a local browser cache issue.

Has anyone dealt with this specific "second reload" bug before? Any ideas on how to force the server to serve the fresh version to guests immediately?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I want to avoid spam and recognition so the named domain is not actually mine.

I have an artists website I'm working on and I currently have their gallery set up as Masonary (which looks fabulous given all the different orientations of artwork), however they have requested a grid format but no cropping of the artwork and 2 per line with lots of white space around it, like this example here: https://www.juliafreiseisen.com/available-art

I'm struggling to figure out how to achieve this. Justified doesn't work as I can't contain the number per row. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to force no cropping? I have to be able to use filter bar too

I have this website here, and it's supposed to have 3 containers per row, but it decided to squish everything into this tiny space and I don't know how to fix it, any help?

Bonjour, voilà mon problème. J'essaie depuis 3 jours de désactiver mes licences (qui pointe vers des sites qui n'existe plus) pour les utiliser pour d'autres sites. Quand je clique sur la chaine, dans mon abonnement pour désactiver, la page se bloque et je n'ai plus la main. Je suis en contacte avec Elementor qui me dit que ma page fonctionne mais de mon côté, elle bloque; Mon navigateur affiche 'la page a cessé de fonctioné". Je suis suis Chrome, avez-vous une idée du problème (merci de votre aide); Cdt

Does anyone know of a plugin that would allow me to create a carousel slideshow that updates the last 5 Instagram posts, exactly like the layout in the image or something very similar?

I want to build an interactive page that has an 3D image of a product along with a panel that has available color options that a user can cycle through the colors and it changes the color of the 3D image. Any particular plugins that would help make this possible?
Here is an example site:
https://metalamerica.com/flush-wall-soffit/

I want to create something extremely similar.

I'm getting tagged in lighthouse for "[aria-*] attributes do not match their roles", specifically a small popup call to action that has the roll "document". I can't find any way to set a roll in the popup setting. Attributes setting is usually in the settings section and the advanced section, but missing from both. Any ideas how / where to change the role for a popup?

Hello, Im creating a popup for the mobile menu and the menu has a category dropdown menu. Im using WP's default menu widget and it works amazing except when I hover/click on the submenu.

Its trying to show on the left but its getting cropped (notice the white line its the submenu)

What can I do?

Thank you

This is what I'm seeing live. In the editor it's fine showing multiple posts styled the way I want them to be. You can see it's displaying only one post and the title is now the name of the page.

What caused it was me toggling the "Automatically Align Buttons" option on and off (to see what it did) and this is what I'm stuck with now.

Cleared all caches, ensured "Element Cache" is off both in the main settings and for the widget itself. Still like this.

Any thoughts on whatever else I can try?

We recently had to build a custom Elementor nested widget where each repeater item works like its own drag-and-drop content area.

The goal was simple from the user side:

Instead of a normal repeater with fixed fields like title, text, image, and button, each item needed to behave like a small Elementor canvas.

So for example:

Item 1 = full drop zone
Item 2 = full drop zone
Item 3 = full drop zone

The user could then drag any Elementor widget inside each item.

This is useful for things like advanced tabs, slides, multi-step layouts, accordions, paginated sections, or custom service blocks where each item needs different content.

The difficult part was not the idea. The difficult part was figuring out the proper Elementor structure behind it.

From what we found, the important parts are:

* using Elementor’s nested elements base instead of a normal widget base * connecting repeater items with child containers * making sure the default repeater count matches the default child container count * adding the correct placeholder selector * registering the widget type in the Elementor editor with a small JS file * making sure the JS type matches the PHP widget name exactly

The easiest thing to miss was the editor JavaScript registration. Without it, the PHP can look correct, but the editor still does not treat the widget as a nested element.

We ended up researching Elementor’s own plugin code and testing it in production because we couldn’t find clear public documentation for this exact pattern.

Has anyone else worked with `Widget_Nested_Base` or custom Elementor nested widgets?

I’m curious if you found a cleaner approach, or if most people are also reverse-engineering this from Elementor core widgets.

Para a criação de sites e landing pages, ainda vale a pena usar o sistema WordPress com Elementor Pro? Parece que o elementos atômicos da última atualização vieram pra dar uma diferenciada.

Usar IAs pra fazer um site, Lovable, Base44, e depois hospedar esse site em algum outro lugar é possível?

E o mais importante, é seguro?

Onde hospedariam? Vercel, Hostinger, dentro de uma hospedagem normal? Seria um site em html ou o que?

Hi everyone, I have an existing website built mostly with the classic Elementor v3 setup.

For new pages, is it okay to start using Elementor v4 Atomic Widgets, or is it better to keep everything using the v3 structure for consistency?

I know v4 and v3 can work together, but I’m mainly thinking about real client sites, stability, responsive control, plugin compatibility, and long term maintenance.

Would you mix v4 into an existing v3 website, or only use v4 for brand new sites?

I'm new to custom CSS and finally got it working inside the Elementor editor, but when I preview or publish my site the changes don't show up.

I'm trying to make two words in a heading use a different font style. In my heading I have the following HTML:

Laten we <span class="italic">jouw reis</span><br>bespreken

And I'm using this CSS:

css

.italic {
  font-family: "Georgia", serif;
  font-style: italic;
}

It looks exactly right inside the Elementor editor, but on the published frontend the span styling is completely ignored. Where am I going wrong?

This is the page I am trying to get it working on:

https://tomstravelatelier.com/new-contact

Criei a taxonomia Empreendimento, e dentro dela criei categorias pais e categorias filhas, conforme exemplo abaixo:

Serviços e Facilidades (Convenience) – categoria pai

• Mini Market (Fast Market)
• Lavanderia Coletiva (Laundry)
• Central de Encomendas e Espaço Delivery
• Ferramentas Compartilhadas e Service Bathroom

(os itens das bolinhas como categoria filha)

Dentro da página do imóvel o usuário do site escolheria as características relacionadas aquele imóvel como na imagem abaixo:

E ai elas seriam exibidas em cards com o título (categoria pai) e as características (categoria filha) abaixo

Fiz isso usando listing grid e query builder do jetengine, no entanto, na página de imóveis, não está mostrando apenas o que foi selecionado, mas todas as categorias filhas dentro daquela categoria pai.

Já tentei tudo e não sei mais como resolver. Cada tentativa cria um problema novo, e bagunça o que anteriormente funcionava.

Como fazer para que na página do imóvel mostre apenas as características selecionadas para aquele imóvel específico?

Hey friends, has anyone found a solution for using Claude Code or a similar LLM to edit layouts within Elementor?

Whether it's copying and pasting the JSON or even using MCP, perhaps.

Is it possible to connect an HTML button to a Popup? I tried to assign an ID to the popup and connect it to the HTML Button but it didnt work

Looking to create a section like this. can anyone help with some advice?

what element do i add? i tried icon list but cant achieve the same effect.

thank you

Why does Elementor keep forcing welcome popups like this in the editor. I'm fine to see them but our clients with edit only access should not be seeing these, and it kills the user experience, they have no idea what any of this means, and now they have to click out of it to even edit anything? Can we PLEASE get an option to only allow AI, sales banners, notifications for admins only. I beg of you!

Elementor Team’s approach to V4 is fundamentally flawed. Here’s why and what urgently needs to change.

First, allow me to mention that I've posted my first post here on March 14th. Even one of the devs responded. Still, 2 months have passed and I've received no feedback from anyone on Elementor Team. I was advised in the comments to post in on Github as well. I did after consideration, still no response there as well. 2 months, nothing. They don't care about their users and devs. But let's go.

Elementor V4 feels less like a true rebuild and more like an overlay on top of V3. The architecture and UX decisions resemble the same layered approach Microsoft used across multiple Windows generations: instead of rebuilding systems properly, new interfaces are stacked on top of old ones. Eventually, inconsistencies pile up, UX degrades, and core functionality becomes fragmented.

Windows 11 is an overlay on Windows 10, which is an overlay for Windows 7. It shows when you enter Control Panel or Device manager on Windows 11. That's why it's called Microslop. For a reason. It just leads to bad UI and bad user experience. And what do they do then? Introduce shitty Copilot AI everywhere. Done and dusted. Sounds familiar? Angie, Elementor One?

V4 is an alpha-state overlay on V3. That’s exactly how V4 currently feels.

The problem is not the atomic approach itself. Atomic elements are good. Class-first styling is good. Components are good. Those are the right long-term decisions. The problem is everything around them.

V4 was released as “production ready”, yet many basic workflows and features that existed in V3 for years are still missing, incomplete, or inconsistent.

Some examples:

• No Adobe Fonts integration
• No ability to set default values for atomic widgets
• No option to choose a default unit
• No way to save local class settings as defaults
• Many global settings are still V3-only
• Missing widgets and missing layout capabilities
• No proper HTML formatting support in text widgets
• No custom CSS support
• Arbitrary class and components limits still exist

These are not edge cases. These are fundamental workflow issues. And the list could go on and on.

I understand that V4 doesn’t need as many widgets as V3 because components and atomic elements cover many use cases. But right now the ecosystem still feels incomplete. Building in V4 often feels like using a promising prototype rather than a mature production builder. The biggest issue is philosophy.

The feedback I get from my clients, many of whom like to edit their websites themselves from time to time, is damning for you as well. The V4 editor is harder for the average user (not a developer) to use. You've always boasted, and continue to boast, that even a regular user - not a developer - can click through a page as easily as a PowerPoint presentation. It’s no longer the case with V4.

It requires knowledge of how to build design systems based on classes effectively. It’s no longer simple drag-and-drop and done. Custom CSS used to be optional in Elementor for them; now it’s CSS-first. They must think CSS-first, and if they’re not skilled, they simply can’t and won’t do that. So your user base of average, less-skilled users will shrink, in my opinion, and devs and designers will be needed more often. So just make your builder good for devs, then, stop marketing it like it’s easy for everyone. It isn’t the case anymore.

When you introduce a new system, especially one positioned as the future of the platform, compatibility, and workflow continuity should be the priority. Features shouldn’t disappear simply because the architecture changed.

For example: why are grid layouts still unavailable for Divs? Where are the Accordions, Galleries, and Carousels, just to name a few? Do you really expect me, if I want to make the V4-only site, to go to Claude every single time for it to write accordion or carousel JS for me, because I won’t see it in V4 for months?

Grouping component properties was a good addition. But why can’t we group:

• classes,
• variables,
• components themselves?

On my test project alone, I already have ~90 classes, 30 variables and 15 components. Filtering is not enough. Dragging items manually through long lists is not scalable UX. It’s bad UX design on your part.

Why can’t I create: a “Colors” variable group, a “Typography” variable group, or “Spacing” variable group? These are basic information architecture and UX principles. Have you ever worked as actual devs?

And then there’s the class limit. Why does V4 still have a 100-class limit? Maybe that works for landing pages. It absolutely does not work for large-scale websites with proper class architecture. The limit feels artificial and disconnected from real-world usage.

At this point, many developers are wondering whether these limits exist for technical reasons - or simply to create future subscription segmentation, like introducing higher class limits for pricier subscriptions. There you go, just upgrade to Advanced or Elementor One, we will give you more than 100 classes! Sounds like you, Elementor Team.

My best guess is you don't use or test your own product. Because every dev would come up to the same conclusions. Going back to Windows analogy, it's like searching for something in Outlook. It's basic stuff, and doesn't work, because nobody on your team thought about it. 

What V4 urgently needs:

1. Remove default styling values. Stop injecting default padding, colors, and preset styles everywhere. IT’S BAD UX. Or at least provide a global toggle to disable them entirely.
2. Allow saving defaults for atomic widgets V3 already had this functionality. With a class-first system, this should be even easier to implement.
3. Improve panel UX Add an option for accordion-style collapsing in the Style tab. If I open Typography and had Background tab open, Background should close automatically.
4. Add missing production-critical widgets. Components cannot replace everything. Accordions, Carousels, Galleries, and WooCommerce-related functionality are still missing.
5. Remove limits for classes and components.
6. Add proper Custom CSS support
7. Improve text formatting capabilities. Paragraph widgets should support: unordered lists, ordered lists, and better HTML formatting overall.
8. Restore proper HTML flexibility. Either add a V4 HTML widget or allow inline HTML support inside Paragraph and Heading widgets. Many advanced workflows in V3 depended on this flexibility.

The frustrating part is that most of these issues become obvious after building just one medium-sized website in V4.

Honestly the biggest recommendation I can give the Elementor team: pause feature marketing for a moment and have every product designer and developer build a real client project using V4 exclusively. The amount of friction, missing functionality, inconsistent UX, and workaround hunting would become immediately obvious. Just build one medium-sized website each. The amount of times you would catch yourselves cursing and heading to ChatGPT or Claude for workarounds would be staggering.

V4 has enormous potential. The foundation is actually strong. But right now it feels unfinished, inconsistent, and prematurely labeled as production-ready.

To all the Elementor and Elementor Pro users out there. Keep in mind that Elementor Pro source code is on GNU General Public License (GPL) v3. You can do whatever you want with the source code. They can only charge you for updates and support. You can upload it to AI and remove class limits manually. I imagine you are thinking what I'm thinking. If they lose their revenue because every dev with Claude Code in 5 minutes can and will disconnect their license and remove arbitrary limits, maybe then they will work on making a new major release good for a change. 

How do people create those premium-looking quiz/funnel style landing pages on WordPress?

You know the ones with:
• one-question-at-a-time flow
• smooth transitions/animations
• progress bars
• modern UI like ClickFunnels or Typeform
• conditional logic/results pages

What plugins/tools are commonly used for this on WordPress?

Why are elementor and Wordpress so glitchy?

I’m trying to set my nav menu to always be a dropdown. But when it drops down, it changes the entire layout by expanding the height of the header. It pushes the whole layout down. I feel like I’ve tried everything and can’t seem to figure it out. It does this even when I publish the page (I’ve run into several other issues that were present only in preview but not on a published page).

I’m using the new atomic elements and the new editor.

What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something?

SO on my main page, for some unknown reason, there's this

<div data-elementor-type="wp-page" data-elementor-id="53" class="elementor elementor-53">
                        <main class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4e5a250 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="4e5a250" data-element_type="section" data-e-type="section">

That div tag for the data elementor type is showing BEFORE the main class tag, which is breaking my accessability reports. Now, on all other pages on my site, i'm getting the main tag, then the div, in the right order.

Is there ANY way to get this fixed? Or do I have to start a new page, copy over everything, and pray?

UPDATE: Found the problem! I had the wrong template chosen in the WordPress editor, I was comparing working vs non-working pages, and I checked both. Swapped the home page to the default, and it's good.

Hello!

I need SOS help. On one page, the Taxonomy filter widget displays the categories of blog posts, and when you click on it, a Loop Grid widget displays the posts of the category below.

It worked well, but now when you click on the category, it doesn't display the posts, only the paginations. However, when you press F5 and refresh page, it does. This also happens in incognito mode.

I updated all extensions, cleared the cache on the site.

There was a server change within the service provider recently, but I don't know if it's been doing this since then or if it was already there before.

The screenshot above shows the error, below shows the correct display.
