Websites is a grid of all of your Elementor websites, including the websites in which Elementor Pro has been activated/ connected and those in which the Elementor Library has been connected. 

Any sites activated or connected with a Pro license will have the Pro label on the website card. Any site without the Pro label will be one in which it was connected to via the Elementor Library.

Note: If a site is connected to your account via library connect, it will NOT appear as Pro, regardless of whether it has Pro or not. (i.e. If the user connected via Library connect to a site that is connected to Pro via someone else』s subscription, it will NOT appear as Pro).

For security reasons, your website』s WordPress based Admin system has its own credentials, in addition to your Elementor credentials. 

Your site』s WordPress username is automatically created while you create your site and is a derivative of your email.  The email associated with your site, with which you can login to your site, receive email notifications and retrieve password is, of course, the email address associated with your Elementor account.  The password is set by you, and should be kept somewhere safe.

Hosted Elementor Websites limit the number of times a user attempts to log into WordPress. When a user fails to login more than 5 times, that user』s IP address is placed into the locked-out list for a time period of 1 hour. Attempts to login from that IP address will be automatically rejected during that time period. When the lockout period expires, the IP address is automatically removed from the locked-out list, giving the user another 5 chances to login with the correct credentials.

Landing Page Builder (Experiment)

Landing Page Builder (Experiment)

Landing pages optimized for conversion, and are often used to create lead capture pages, sales pages, splash pages, squeeze pages, and more. Elementor』s Landing Page Builder flow coupled with the landing page templates found in the Template Library enables you to quickly and easily create landing pages either from a set of pre-designed templates provided by Elementor or those that you design yourself. 

To Manage Landing Pages

Go to Templates > Landing PagesClick Add New Landing Page to view a set of pre-designed landing page templates.Click the magnifying glass icon to preview a template.Click Insert to select a template to use.

Note: Elementor Landing Pages are a Custom Post Type in terms of WP hierarchy. You cannot set these as the homepage of your website in Settings > Reading or your Customizer as they are not WP pages. You may save your created landing page as a Template in your library, then create or edit a WP page called 「Home」 and import that template to the page. This new page can be set as the homepage.

Tip: If you prefer to start from scratch rather than using a pre-designed template, press the X in the upper right corner of the template library to close the window and start with a new blank page.

How to Change the Slug of the Landing Page

After publishing your Landing Page, you may notice that the Page name or Permalink Slug needs to be edited. To change the page name, or slug follow these steps.

Please also note that some user-supplied custom CSS code may interfere or conflict with Elementor and cause issues such as being unable to use Elementor to edit fonts, or other styling options. If you find yourself having some of these issues, copy your custom CSS code to a safe place, temporarily remove your custom CSS code from the page, and check to see if that code was causing the problem.
