When designing the archive template, the condition was set to author archive. But after publishing, the archive page still uses the default style of the original Theme, and the self-designed archive template did not take effect. I don't know the reason. When the condition is switched to date, the template works. It's really strange. Hope Naiba can explain.
I tested it, and there is no problem after setting it up. Maybe you set something incorrectly. Query settings filter by author, all dates, sorted by date, descending order. After setting, multi-user only displays the article archive of the user you set.
Problem solved, it was a static issue.
After installing the Essential Addons Plugin, the Elementor panel on the left turned gray and cannot be dragged. Then, after disabling the Essential Addons Plugin, it returned to normal. What is the reason for this?
This kind of problem is usually caused by Plugin compatibility and requires specific analysis to determine the cause.
Can you share the Chinese version?
The official version comes with Chinese localization, just purchase the Pro version.
Elementor is a page editor. I don't quite understand the relationship between Elementor and a Theme:
I want to build a B2B foreign trade website, mainly to receive inquiries.
1) Is the free version of Elementor alone sufficient? Since it allows drag-and-drop editing, why still use a Theme?
2) Can Elementor Pro replace a Theme?
3) If using Flatsome, do I still need to install Elementor?
4) For a B2B website, is WooCommerce necessary?
5) For a B2B website, what combination is good? Elementor + Astra?
I really haven't grasped the concepts clearly. Please, Naiba, answer and clarify. Thank you.
1. Yes, it can.
2. Yes, but it's not recommended for beginners.
3. No, Flatsome comes with its own builder.
4. It depends; you can use it or not.
5. What suits you best is the most suitable.
Elementor is like a renovation team, and a Theme is like a house with different layouts. If you want to arrange the room layout yourself, then install Elementor's official Hello Theme and design the layout and style of each room yourself.
Thank you very much. Your reply was so quick. Thanks a lot.
1) For a B2C website, using Flatsome + WooCommerce, is there any problem? Do these two overlap?
2) I just browsed another website, which mentioned using Elementor Pro + Astra free version (said to be the lightest). For a B2B website, how much difference does this combination have compared to using only Elementor Pro in terms of website building difficulty, aesthetics, and functionality?
For B2C, no matter what Theme you use, WooCommerce must be installed.
Website building difficulty, aesthetics, and functionality cannot be unified.
„Website building difficulty, aesthetics, and functionality cannot be unified“ ??
Sorry, I don't understand...
It means there isn't an option that is low difficulty, aesthetically pleasing, and feature-rich. Powerful features definitely come with high difficulty. Good aesthetics also require design skills, so it's not simple either.
Thank you very much. One last question: for a B2B website, if I want to do multi-product package inquiries, like a quote cart, is the combination of Elementor Pro + WooCommerce + YITH WooCommerce Request a Quote okay? Is WooCommerce a must? Since it's only B2B and no actual transaction is needed, if Elementor Pro can 'add to cart', can I not use WooCommerce? Sorry if my question sounds silly, but I'm genuinely confused. Please advise, thank you.
You'll know once you try it. No explanation from others is as clear as trying it yourself once.
You're right. Thank you very much.
I have a question. After installing Elementor, it fails to load, and even safe mode doesn't work. What could be the reason?
This situation is usually due to network or compatibility issues. Where is your website server located? You can also try activating only Elementor to see if it works.
Let me try switching networks. If I want to add text on an image, how should I do it? Or, if I want to place a question on an image, how should I set it up?
Set a background image for a certain area, then add text in front of it; it won't be affected.
Okay, I'll give it a try. Thank you very much for your help.
Hello Naiba, when I was building my site, whether I click on the homepage, About Us, Contact Us, or any other page, they all open as the homepage. I don't know where the problem is. Then, following an online tutorial, I changed the reading settings, and now the homepage has become uneditable. Also, it often freezes and I can't access the website, showing a 504 error. Now I'm confused.
This kind of issue can't be identified just from your description. It's likely caused by something wrong with the server or website settings.
The 504 error it shows will automatically resolve after a few hours, and then I can access the homepage again.
A 504 error indicates a Gateway Timeout, meaning the server acting as a gateway or proxy did not receive a timely response from the upstream server.
A 504 error is usually caused by improper server configuration or abnormal resource usage leading to server crashes; there can be many reasons.
When using Elementor to design a website, the homepage calls a post list. How can I make the post title and post date display horizontally? I can't find the setting in Elementor. Please advise.
This depends on whether the Elementor add-ons you installed or the elements that come with your Theme support horizontal layout. If they don't, then you can't set it up that way. Elementor itself visualizes some code content, but if that code isn't there, you can't visualize the desired effect.
May I ask how to remove the 'download app' on the page?
This is likely something that comes with your website Theme's demo. Without seeing the actual page, I don't know how to handle it.
Hello Naiba, when I was downloading the Elementor Plugin, I encountered an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. I also encountered an error when registering an account on the Elementor official website. How can I resolve this? I am building the site locally using the phpStudy integrated environment.
For local environments, the network may be unstable; it is recommended to use an online environment for testing.
Hello, I am preparing to join a company to write web content. The company already has its own B2B website. Can the Elementor Plugin be used?
This depends on what platform your company's current website is built on.
Why does the Elementor account registration always fail?
Generally, if you cannot register, it's due to poor network connectivity. You can try registering using a proxy.
Hello, it always prompts 'Something went wrong, please try again.' I will try a few more times here. It might also be related to difficulties accessing some Google-related services.
Hello, after importing the Theme template, I am editing the webpage with Elementor. The original webpage had the template's logo in the top right corner. However, when I open it for editing with Elementor, Elementor's menu bar covers the logo area, making it impossible to edit or replace the logo image. How can this issue be resolved? Thank you.
The logo is usually set in the Theme settings or in a separate header editor; it is not modified when editing a specific Page.
Naiba, hello, I'm new to Elementor and not sure what's happening.
When I select a title or image area that needs editing, and then choose a style on the left, the style menu does not display. I've tried deleting and reinstalling, but it still gets stuck when selecting a style.
However, I can add information. Every time I add information, it prompts for an update. Do I need to update every time?
Your issue is quite complex; I haven't encountered it before. It likely cannot be resolved through verbal description alone.
Hello, I would like to ask about the „Shortcode“ issue:
I downloaded and installed the YITH Plugin in the WP Admin Dashboard, and inserted the shortcode via Elementor editing: [yith_ywraq_button_quote]
However, the page did not generate a button; it only displayed the shortcode I entered: [yith_ywraq_button_quote]
How can I troubleshoot and fix this issue? Thank you!
Did you add it using the code module in Elementor?
Is there any introduction about GenerateBlocks and GeneratePress?
No, after all, they all require purchasing. Currently, the free version of Elementor is sufficient for many websites. Those effects from GenerateBlocks can basically also be achieved using Elementor.
Hello, what's the difference between the cracked version on the website and the genuine version where one Elementor account can support multiple websites?
The cracked version can be uploaded and used on any website, but you can only use its Pro features, not its online template assets. The genuine version binds one license to one website, allowing you to use both the features and the online template library. The template library provides you with ready-made templates that you can directly click to import and use on your website.
If I purchase the genuine version now and don't renew after it expires, will the Pro version elements and templates used during website building become unusable?
If you don't renew, you won't be able to edit or upgrade, but what's already built won't be affected and will remain usable.
Naiba, hello, after finishing the frontend page with Elementor, how do I fetch data from the database? For example, how to implement dynamic data for a news list and detail pages?
Pro seems to be able to call dynamic data.
