• I noticed that since v3.18.0, elementor seems to have dropped support for sections and columns…While the frontend display is fine, the backend in the design/development for my older sites built with sections appear broken. The inner columns start from the centre and are floated to the right.:(?Has anyone experienced the same?

  • If the Flexbox has been activated, when you edit a page, go to the gear at the bottom left and click… at the top a button will appear that says CONVERT, click it and it converts the sections of that page that you are editing to the new format called container, you will have to enter all the pages created and do the same.

    Hello,

    Thanks for reaching out! 

    It seems like the issue you’re experiencing with Elementor’s backend design, particularly with sections and columns appearing broken and inner columns floating to the right, isn’t directly addressed as a known widespread issue in the latest updates, including version 3.18.0. The Elementor Pro changelog and developer updates for version 3.18 focus on various enhancements and fixes, such as improvements in editor performance, accessibility, mobile responsiveness, and PHP 8.2 compatibility, but do not explicitly mention changes that would result in the problems you described????.

    However, it’s not uncommon for updates to our plugins to cause conflicts or unexpected behavior, especially if there are third-party addons or customizations involved. 

    Given this, the issue you’re facing might be related to conflicts with other plugins, custom code, or even theme compatibility issues that arose due to the update. It’s worth checking the following:

    • Ensure all plugins and the theme you’re using are up to date and compatible with the latest version of Elementor.
    • Test by deactivating other plugins temporarily to see if the issue resolves, which can help pinpoint a conflict.

    Then, new Elementor websites use containers for page layout. For more information, see What is a Flexbox Container?

    However, there are a large number of existing websites built using sections for layout and web creators who prefer to continue working with sections. These users can deactivate containers.

    Please remember to back up your site before making any substantial changes. 

    Contact Support: If all else fails, and you are an Elementor Pro user, please use our dedicated Pro support.

    To expedite assistance, kindly connect with us through your ‘My Elementor‘ account, and we’ll prioritize resolving your concern swiftly.

    Please note that as per www.ads-software.com guidelines, commercial product support isn’t provided on this platform.

    I appreciate your understanding.

    We are wishing you a pleasant day ahead.

    Kind Regards,
