Too many ads and nags
-
While Elementor itself is not a bad pagebuilder, it does LACK FULL ACF support and as of late, the constant push for Elementor AI and Elementor Image Optimization.
These are NOT separate plugins for Elementor, but instead built into the pagebuilder that CANNOT be disabled. Even if you already have an image optimization plugin installed like Smush, Shortpixel, etc., Elementor STILL pushes it’s own Image Optimization plugin throughout the editor, media library, etc.
The AI is also getting out of hand while trying to build pages out. Constant POPUPS to use Elementor AI (even after you close the popup) that interrupt your workflow. Elementor is basically giving it’s pro subscribers/developers the finger all to make a buck.
There are numerous github threads asking Elementor to come up with a better solution. This is where we are directed to suggest new features and what not, so they can be upvoted on and taken into consideration for development.
As of now these threads are where these discussions can be viewed (with some code snippets to disable/hide some of the AI nags):
Github thread #22796 has 69 upvotes
Github thread #22853 has 61 upvotes
Both of these threads have been going on since June 2023, with no responses from Elementor.And all of this can be seen by our clients which prompts concerns and constant explanations which also diminishes the clients trust in us developers.
