    I have 30 years’ experience authoring websites and 10 years with WordPress. But this plugin is a whole new challenge for me. I know many users rave about the plugin, but they all must have a lot of experience with CSS and/or JavaScripting.

    I honestly do not find any in-depth tutorial on creating and changing the way the text is displayed nor do I find any solutions on how to fix the poor display in the referenced link.

    This is my first time using blocks and from looking at the Property Hive YouTube tutorials, I’m getting the impression that it would be in my best interest to subscribe to the full version of Elementor and ditch WPBakery.

    I do want to learn this plugin but my WordPress experience has only involved the Total WordPress theme by WPExplorer.com and Visual Composer.

    Can support provide a comprehensive tutorial or docs on how to make this page

    look more like how the properties are displayed on this site?

    Frank, I would also like to see more documentation of building a custom property loop with Elementor.

    However, the property search page you provided appears to be custom-built most likely using the global property object rather than created using Elementor. I would also like to see more documentation on how to set that up with property hive.

    1. Unique Class Names and Styles: The class names and inline styles like “grid-box-card,” “grid-content-inner,” and “wow fadeInUp animated” do not directly correspond to Elementor’s standard naming conventions.
    2. HTML Structure: The nested structure of the HTML, including the way the property details and images are organized, looks more bespoke. Elementor’s HTML structure is typically more modular and includes many wrapper elements with Elementor-specific classes.
    3. Custom Button and Image Handling: The button with the class “property-more-details” and the way images are handled with inline styles for scaling (“style=”transform: scale(1);”) point towards a custom implementation.

    The individual property page listing appears to be similar with the property-tabs-container and property-description-icons-container, with the data being pulled from property object I assume.

    Thanks for your insight bkas24. It does help me move forward. I had my friend purchase/subscribe to Elementor Pro, which I just installed. I inherited a mess with the site tat I am in the process of cleaning up, but I’m looking forward to learning and implementing Elementor.
