In this article, we explain how to easily integrate MailPoet and Elementor forms, so every form automatically adds a subscriber to your MailPoet list.

Drag a Form widget into the Elementor editing screen.Click the pencil on the top upper right of the widget window to open the panel. Then, in the panel, under Content go down to Actions After Submit.You will see 『email』 already inside the box. Add 『MailPoet』, press the green 『Save』 button in the panel. Now that you have added MailPoet, it will appear under Content. Close Actions after Submit by clicking on it again.Now Go to Form Fields and change the wording of the fields to 『First Name』, Add another field called 『Last Name』. Under type be sure to choose 『text』 for the last name field.Still in Content > MailPoet3, in the drop-down menu choose LIST. Here you can add a pre-existing list – e.g. 『subscribers』.Now, go back down to MailPoet3, under Field Mapping, and add name and email.Click the middle arrow in the editing screen to view your page live and test sending an email.

That』s it.Now you can send a newsletter or other communications to specific lists such as subscribers etc. Email marketing is a great way to send everyone email updates to promote your business. Try it out!

MailPoet 「Server error. Form not sent. This Message is not visible for site visitors.」 when submitting a form linked to a MailPoet account.It happens if any custom field added in MailPoet has not been mapped in Elementor Form widget (via the MailPoet3 tab). If a single field is not mapped, it will throw this validation error.In this case, the form redirect of the form won』t work as well, naturally.Once all form fields are mapped correctly to all MailPoet fields everything should work fine.Example of field mapping properly done:

Considerations for Theme Builder Compatibility

Considerations for Theme Builder Compatibility

Although Elementor Pro』s Theme Builder feature can be used with any WordPress theme that adheres to WordPress coding standards, there are some things to consider which may affect how well any particular theme will integrate with our Theme Builder.

If You Are Unsure If Your Theme Is Fully Compatible, Design Your Headers and Footers Together

If you decide to use Elementor Theme Builder to create a header or a footer, you should ideally use it to create both, rather than one or the other. If you would prefer to use Theme Builder to create just the header but keep your theme』s existing footer, or vice-versa, you want to use Theme Builder to design a new footer, but keep your theme』s existing header, you should send this guide to the developer of your theme.

What Is The Developer Guide All About?

Elementor provides a Theme Locations API for theme developers. Although Elementor can edit headers and footers by default on most themes, it is still necessary for themes to register additional locations to allow users to edit other theme components with Elementor Theme Builder. Theme developers can choose to support all core locations, just some locations or even create their own custom locations. For example, if theme developers want to allow users to edit the sidebars with Elementor, they can simply register the sidebar location via our API.

What Could Happen If You Only Design A Header But Not A Footer With Elementor Theme Builder (Or Vice-Versa)?

WordPress theme developers often tie the header and footer code together by opening a div in the header and then closing that div in the footer. If Theme Builder replaces the header but not the footer, or vice-versa, it is possible that the opening and closing tags will become mis-matched. If a tag is not closed, the structure of the code breaks and the page will break as well.

Summary

Many themes have chosen to fully integrate Elementor locations into their themes. You can see a list of themes that have been specifically designed to work well with Elementor.

Elementor Theme Builder can enable you to replace headers and footers of almost any theme that has been written with WordPress coding standards in place. If these themes haven』t yet used the Elementor Theme API to register Elementor locations, you should probably use Theme Builder to replace the the theme』s header and its footer at the same time. Replacing only one or the other with Theme Builder could cause your page to break.

However, if you design both your header and your footer with Theme Builder, your newly designed header and footer will replace both the theme』s header and its footer code. This ensures that all div tags in the header and footer will be opened and closed appropriately, and your page should not break.

If you prefer to only design the header or only design the footer with Theme Builder, then you should ask the theme developer to use our Theme Locations API to register locations. Likewise, if you would like to use Elementor Theme Builder to design other areas of the theme such as the sidebar, ask your theme developer to register those locations as well, using the Theme Locations API.

Popups: Full Screen

Popups: Full Screen

Full Screen Popups are great for directing your user』s attention to only one Call To Action or Promotion. In this example, we』ll wait for the user to be inactive for a while, at which time, we』ll display a full screen popup that uses a Countdown widget to help change that user』s inaction to immediate action.

Although there are many uses for the classic popup, it traditionally places an opt-in form in the middle of the screen, with an overlay that obscures the background. For this example, we』ll trigger the popup sitewide when the user shows intent to exit the page.

Migration to Font Awesome 5

Migration to Font Awesome 5

Elementor v2.6 introduces the Icon Library, which includes an update to the Font Awesome 5 library. 

The first time you attempt to use a widget that includes the Icon Library, you』ll be presented with a Font Awesome Migration popup.

This popup explains that Elementor v2.6 has moved from FA4 to FA5 – which includes more than 1500 icons. It also lets you know that some FA4 icons design has changed when updated to FA5.

When hitting Update you』ll be redirected to Elementor > Tools page (No worries, your work will be automatically saved):

Here you will be warned that by clicking the Migrate to Font Awesome 5 button, you understand that this action is not reversible and cannot be undone by rolling back to a previous version. 

If you agree, click the Migrate to Font Awesome 5 button, where you』ll be prompted with the last popup reminding you this action is irreversible:

Click Continue. You』ll be redirected back to your page.

This will complete the migration process, and you are now free to use the new Icon Library on any widget that has icon controls. Once the Font Awesome upgrade is completed, the Font Awesome Upgrade TAB under  Elementor > Tools will disappear.

Tip: Go to Elementor > Settings > Advanced and make sure Load Font Awesome 4 Support is set to Yes  so that your Font Awesome 4 icons will still display properly when using Font Awesome 5.

See the full widgets list below.

Note: If you don』t update to FA5, Elementor widgets that use FA4 icons will still continue to work, but you wouldn』t be able to edit them.

List of Elementor widgets that use the Icon Library:

Button Widget (Free)Accordion Widget (Free)Icon Box Widget (Free)Icon List Widget (Free)Icon Widget (Free)Social Icons Widget (Free)Toggle Widget (Free)Call to Action Widget (Pro)Reviews Widget (Pro)Flip Box Widget (Pro)Form Widget (Pro)Price Table Widget (Pro)Post Info Widget (Pro)

Good to know:

1. FA4 was first launched in 2013 and used 675 icons. FA5 was released in 2017 and is newer with better speed, more icons, font families and more. 

2. What is shim.js? Font Awesome version 5 changed some icon names. There is a JavaScript code that runs in every page and converts the FA4 icons to FA5. It allows you to keep v4 icon names on v5.

3. You must upgrade to enjoy the Icons library and keep adding new icons.
