Bug on 3.24.3 Version (DON’T UPDATE)

danmeeriyagalla September 19, 2024

Updated for my both sites and struggled having a broken theme. Pls do the needful to fix this out ASAP. I had to restore to the previous versions since this broke the UI.

So Easy To Use

bikeman91350 September 18, 2024 1 reply

I have tried several website builders since I started building websites in 1998.Nothing is as easy nor as all encompassing as elementor.

Why

SSVapes September 18, 2024 1 reply

What Elementor does well, it does really well. What Elementor does bad it consistently does bad. I use four plugins that make a shiver go down my spine every time I see a pending update for them. Elementor is one of them. The standard answer is always “it’s someone else’s plugin causing the problem.”

Behaves like malware

taropaa September 17, 2024 1 reply

I needed a page builder so I got Elementor and Elementor Pro. Recently, Elementor created an image optimization plugin. Good for them, but I already have one and am using Cloudflare. Now they added a notification icon to my gallery page, took over that page with an elementor top banner (as if the gallery belongs to them) and slapped a massive 1/3 height ad which displays “stats” that are not connected to anything and messages everywhere I seem to click about their image optimization plugin. This should not be allowed since I did not choose to download the image optimizer, and there is no way to turn that off. Elementor is not an image optimization plugin, it is a page builder and that’s all I need from it. I am getting tired of its interference, and of this image optimizer spam littered all over my WP dashboard.

Terrible

Elementor new update destroyed several websites. Not the first time. This plugin is not reliable.

New feature not working

botchco September 15, 2024

I was excited for custom query loop, because I needed an option to loop through categories and custom taxonomies. However my excitement was quickly killed after the feature dropped. As it turns out, you can’t use taxonomy filter on a loop that is set to template “Post taxonomies”. When you add such taxonomy filter and select loop grid with Post taxonomies, when you want to select a source for filters you receive all PRODUCT taxonomies, despite there not being even a single grid for products on the site. Now the feature can be written off as ‘useless’, what a waste
