Posts Widget (Pro) vs Archive Posts Widget (Pro)

Posts Widget (Pro) vs Archive Posts Widget (Pro)

How do you know when to use the Posts widget and when to use the Archive Posts widget?

Although similar in that both widgets produce a list or grid layout of posts, the Archive Posts Widget (Pro) and the Posts Widget (Pro) are not interchangeable.

When and Where To Use Each Widget

The Archive Posts widget should only be used on Archive templates, which are created in Templates > Theme Builder > Archive. If you attempt to use it on a normal page or post, it will only display the current post.The Posts Widget  is meant to be used on any Single page or post where you would like to display a group of posts.

Which Posts Will Be Displayed?

The Archive Posts widget does not include a query control function, so you have no control over which posts are shown within the widget itself. All posts that satisfy the Display Conditions of the Archive Template will be shown in this widget.The Posts widget includes a robust method of controlling which posts to show in the grid display, using its query control function.

Why Doesn』t The Excerpt Length Work Consistently in Archive Posts widgets or Posts widgets?

When Elementor displays a post, if it has no excerpt, Elementor automatically generates an excerpt from the post』s content. Both the Archive Posts widget and the Posts widget includes an Excerpt Length option to allow you to control the length of this auto-generated excerpt. In both, however, the excerpt length only applies to posts in which no manual excerpt has been entered. The length specified in the Elementor widget is ignored if a manually-generated excerpt exists for a post.

Alert Widget

The Alert widget enables you to display a colored alert box to draw attention to an important message.

How to Fix 404 Page or Page Not Found Error Messages

How to Fix 404 Page or Page Not Found Error Messages

If you are getting a 404 page when you try to navigate to a certain page, or get a 『Page Not Found』 error, this may be caused by a memory issue, an issue with the permalinks or a conflict with another plugin.

Follow these steps:

Check if you can solve this by changing the permalinks in 「Settings > Permalinks」 on your WordPress Dashboard. You should set it to 「Plain」 to troubleshoot.If it does not work, check your memory limit in your system info in 「Elementor > System Info」 and ask your hosting company to raise it to, at least, 128MB by using this guide: https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/#increasing-memory-allocated-to-phpSwitch the front-end editor loader method located in the settings of Elementor on your Dashboard via 「Elementor」 > 「Settings」 >」Advanced」.Ask also your hosting company to deactivate ModSecurity temporarily to rule out an issue with a rule set via this firewall. If it is the issue, checking the ModSecurity logs will help your hosting company to solve this.Your host may need to enable zlib.output_compression module which can compress the data and may help with the loading of the editor when servers have limited resources.Finally, you can also deactivate all your plugins besides Elementor and Elementor Pro, and switch to a default WordPress theme such as Twenty Nineteen to troubleshoot. 

If you receive this error message when you try to save a page, please consult this guide.

If you get this error message after activating Elementor Pro, please read this article.

If you still experience this issue after trying the potential solutions mentioned above, please open a support ticket.

Accordion Widget

Accordion Widget

The Accordion Widget is used to display text in a collapsed, condensed manner, letting you save space while still presenting an abundance of content.

With the Accordion, visitors can scan the item titles, and choose to expand an item only if it is of interest.

A similar widget is the Toggle widget, but there are two main differences between the Accordion widget and the Toggle widget.

When a page is loaded, the first item of the Accordion widget is expanded, while all other items remain collapsed. With the Toggle widget, however, all items are collapsed when a page is first loaded.Only one item of an Accordion can be expanded at one time. As you expand another Accordion item, the previously opened item automatically collapses, looking similar to an accordion. With the Toggle widget, however, as many items as desired can be expanded at the same time.
