How templates, widgets and tags work together

A template defines the layout for a site area or page type. Widgets add elements to that layout, and dynamic tags connect those elements to website content and data. The Pro edition includes the free version’s theme-building capabilities and adds dedicated Elementor widgets for navigation, search, content details and store pages.

Areas you can customize

• Create headers and footers from scratch or import them with one click.
• Build single layouts for posts, pages and custom post types.
• Design blog, category, tag, author and custom post archives.
• Customize search and 404 pages.
• Create WooCommerce layouts for single products, carts, checkout, accounts and product categories.

Connect layouts to site data

Dynamic and global tags can draw on ACF, ACF Group, posts, WooCommerce, terms and taxonomies, users, site data and a custom PHP tag. The free widget collection also includes site title and logo, post title and content, featured picture, post grid, taxonomies, author box, and product title, description, price, images, rating, add-to-cart and grid elements.

Pro widgets for content and stores

For navigation and content, the Pro set includes vertical and hamburger menus, post meta, Ajax live search, post comments and post navigation.

WooCommerce widgets include product meta and tabs, cross-sells, upsells, related products, product filtering, product carousel, category grid and carousel, cart, mini cart, checkout, visitor profile, My Account and notices. The Pro offering is listed with access to more than 60 Pro Elementor Widgets.
