Elementor is one of the most popular WordPress page builders in the WordPress community. It offers users a unique web design experience. In addition, there are a ton of Elementor addons that extend the core of the plugin even further. This article will give some examples of the best Elementor addons that you can install even on the free Elementor version.

Elementor VS Elementor Pro

Elementor does not need to be activated on your site to be able to add an addon. But I think you maybe haven’t integrated Elementor with WordPress yet. If not, then, go quick, install Elementor.

First of all, just to refresh your memory, in the free version, you have access to 30 essential, 10 basics, and 20 more advanced widgets, and more than 100 templates.

Elementor is also available in a pro version.

Important point: Elementor Pro is an extension of Elementor, so you need to have Elementor installed before.

Obviously, when you want to upgrade to the free version of Elementor, it’s the first addon you think of. It may be enough for you. The rate is $ 49 / year for 1 site. It goes to $ 99 / year for 3 sites or $999/year for 1000 sites.

Indeed, you will benefit from twenty additional widgets and 150 free and pro Elementor templates.

You will also have access to widgets to customize your theme :

And, that’s without counting specific WooCommerce widgets :

Upon reflection, I find Elementor to be a real gem. But sometimes you need to make a specific layout. So, we dig into the widgets provided, and, unfortunately, we quickly realize that we do not find our happiness.

So how do you fix this problem quickly?

I first put on my boots, put on a hat, and was armed with a large sieve. Then, I went to explore this long river called the web in search of nuggets to add to Elementor.

I did not come back empty-handed. Look at the 8 treasures that I brought back and that I am sharing with you: the best addons for Elementor.

Ultimate Addons for Elementor

The call price is $ 69 / year or $ 249 for a lifetime license including 44 free templates. There is also the “mini agency pack” at $ 169 / year or $ 499 for a lifetime license. It includes more than 55 pro templates in addition to the 44, Astra Pro Addon, and the WP Portfolio plugin.

First of all, there are some pretty basic widgets:

• In case of your images or videos, you will find galleries, a video player, and a Retina image widget, but also the possible display of two superimposed images for a before/after style comparison, and also, the Hotspots widget which creates points whose contents are revealed on the flyover.
• For your activity, you have access to widgets to display the opening hours, present your team or your members, or even specify your location with Google Maps.
• For the presentation of your products or services, everything is planned: responsive tables, catalogs or lists, details of offers, countdown, pop-ups, as well as several modules for WooCommerce to personalize your products, categories, and your “add to” button. basket”.

Small useful details: You can include an FAQ section on your site, but also, automatically integrate a table of contents and finally, create a mega menu.

But, it is obvious that some widgets stand out. Indeed, it is possible to style the Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WP Forms, and Caldera Forms forms. You can also present your blog posts as a carousel, timeline, or other, with the possibility of filters and pagination.

There are also interesting widgets to personalize the titles. I am thinking more specifically of:

• Dual Color Heading allows mixing 2 colors, 2 fonts, and much more
• Advanced Heading that highlights them with dividers
• Fancy Heading that animates them in typewriter style

And, you will appreciate the toggle buttons, which are handy, for example, displaying monthly/annual prices dynamically.

Besides, I must admit that I am particularly fond of the “Particle Backgrounds” widget to integrate interactive particle backgrounds.

Conclusion

Looking at it more closely, we quickly realize that most of the addons have more or less the same functionalities. On the other hand, some offer almost revolutionary widgets.

• Personally, I recommend that you should test a freemium addon first to see whether or not it is sufficient for your use. And, to be honest, of the eight Addons studied, my preference is Unlimited Elements which I find really complete, even in the free version. Indeed, it already contains 100 widgets which cover a lot of needs.
• Then, it’s up to you to invest in a paid Elementor addon if you flash on several of its widgets. You can favor those that have lifetime prices and those that offer page or section templates. In this game, I think The Plus Addons would be my favorite.

As you know, the abuse of plugins harms the health of your site. It can affect the loading speed of your pages. So I advise you to limit yourself to your needs.
