How to Move Sections in Elementor

How to Move Sections in Elementor

It is very easy to move an Elementor section above or below another section, in either one of two ways.

Drag and Drop The Section Using the Navigator

The Navigator is a quick and easy way to move sections, and is often preferred, since you don』t have to drag the mouse far up or down a page. Access the Navigator in one of three ways:

Click on the Navigator button in the panel』s footer, or use the Cmd/Ctrl + I keyboard shortcut.Alternately, you can right-click any element and then click on Navigator. This will automatically redirect you to the specific element in the navigation tree.Once the Navigator is open, left-click and hold the mouse button down on the section element you want to move, and drag it up or down, dropping it before or after any other element.

Drag and Drop The Section Via The Section Handle

Click and hold your left mouse button on the handle of the section you wish to move. While you continue to hold the mouse button down, drag the section to its new location.When you see the blue line appear in the correct place, let go of the mouse button. This will place the section into the blue drop zone. The move is now complete.

How To Translate Or Localize Elementor

How To Translate Or Localize Elementor

Elementor comes built in with translating capabilities to any language. Elementor is a project on translate.wordpress.org. We welcome you to  join the team of localizers and help translate Elementor to your language. Here』s how to easily translate Elementor into other languages. You don』t have to download any software, all translation is done online using the GlotPress platform. If Elementor has already been translated 100% to your language, we encourage you to still join the translation team, so you can help with translations in the next versions, or so you can improve the current translation.

1. Log in to WordPress.org

Go to the WordPress login page and login to WordPress using your username and password. If you don』t have an account yet, go ahead and create it, and on the way give us a 5-star rating

2. Enter the translation page

Now go to the plugin translation page, and search for your language.

3. Choose a string to translate

Choose a string you wish to translate. You can also methodically go over each string and translate the whole plugin, but this could take you a while, there are currently 31 pages of strings to sift through.

4. Enter your translation and submit

5. Translate placeholders

Some strings you』ll need to translate will include placeholders. You have to include the placeholder in your output.

For example: Edit {0}

If you were translating to Japanese, you would translate like so: Modifier {0}

「I finished translation, now what?」

Recently. WordPress has changed the way the translation process works. You no longer need to upload any PO files, or do any technical thing for that matter. 

All you have to do is send us a mail once you』ve finished translating to [email protected] and let us know about your translation, so we can get it approved by your language editors. The translation has to go through an approval process, so you can expect to see it after a few days.

6. Update your site』s translations after each update of Elementor

Updating Elementor does not automatically update the translation. When you switch the language from 」 Settings > General「, this changes the language of Elementor and Elementor Pro as well. But there is an additional step to take. 

Go to 「Dashboard > Updates」 and accept the translation of Elementor Pro there by clicking the Update Translations button. 

Note: After each update, there may be new strings to translate, so you should check the Dashboard > Updates panel after each Elementor update.

Go ahead and translate Elementor now. You can learn more about joining the translation team on GlotPress. 

For any further questions, ask us on the GitHub project.

Note: For the translation of Elementor pro elements into your native language, please contact our support: [email protected]

Allow your visitors to download PDF files with a single button click by using the download=」yourfilename」 custom attribute.Implement relations SEO properties such as rel=」noopener」,  rel=」noreferrer」,  rel=」ugc」, and 「rel=sponsored」.
