Module 4 of 6
Training / Building with Elementor / Lesson 2 of 9
A widget is a single item on your page, such as a heading, an image or a button. You build a page by dropping widgets into containers.
You'll learn
How to add a new heading, paragraph, image or button to a page
Takes
About 5 minutes
You'll need
A page open in Elementor
Watch: “Add a container with a widget”, an official video from Elementor. It shows the same job on their own demo site, so your screen may look a little different. The written steps below are the ones to follow.
1
Click the plus in the top bar. The panel on the left shows every widget you can use.
2
Type into the search box, for example “heading” or “button”.
3
Hold the mouse button down on the widget, drag it across to the page and let go when a blue line shows where it will land.
4
The widget’s settings open on the left. Add your words or choose your image.
5
Click and drag a widget to a new position, or drag its line in Structure.
6
Right-click the widget and choose Delete.
Don’t start from blank. Duplicate a similar item that’s already on the page and change its contents.
Drag it again and watch for the blue line, or move it in Structure.
Some widgets come with Elementor Pro or with other plugins. Ask us whether your site has it.
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.
