How to open the editor and what each part of the screen is for
Takes
About 5 minutes
You'll need
To be logged in to your website
1
In the dashboard, click Pages. Hover over the page you want and click Edit with Elementor. Give it a few seconds to load.
2
The large area on the right is your page. Move your mouse over it and you’ll see outlines appear around each part. Click something to select it.
3
When you click something on the page, its settings appear here. Most things have three tabs: Content for what it says, Style for how it looks, and Advanced for spacing.
4
This holds the main tools. The plus adds new items, Structure shows a list of everything on the page, the screen icon switches between desktop, tablet and phone, the eye previews the page, and Publish makes your changes live.
5
Click the Elementor logo at the top left and choose Exit to WordPress. If you haven’t published, nothing on your live site has changed.
That page may not be built with Elementor, or your login may not have permission. Ask us.
Refresh the page. If it still sticks, try a different browser such as Chrome, and tell us if it keeps happening.
Move your mouse to the far left edge of the screen and click the small arrow to bring it back.
Tell us which page it’s on and what you’re trying to do. We can talk you through it or make the change for you.
