Broken website, garbage plugin

This plugin is garbage, it will break your website after updating, and they won’t take responsibility for it, and instead blame other plugins.

Queremos desactivar la IA completamente

NIMBADA. September 12, 2024 1 reply

Los pasos que está dando Elementor para la IA son horribles. Permitan DESACRTIVAR completamente esa basura en cada rincon de nuestras webs. Se está convirtiendo Elementor en una opción para valorar negativamente si seleccionar Elementor o no. Pensando en alternativas a Elementor seriamente.

Upgrade to 3.24.0 broke theme

September 11, 2024 1 reply

While this was a great plugin, it is trying to do too much, has too many upgrades, and the latest one broke the site’s theme. I had to restore a back up because it was so bad. Why not make upgrades backwards compatible? I don’t want to redesign my entire theme every time there is a major upgrade.

Elementor-Update – Kompatibilit?t Jeg Elementor Kit

mw2022 September 11, 2024 1 reply

Was nützt mir der Hinweis auf Kompatibilit?tsalarm, wenn danach bis dato funktionierende Elemente wie z.B. Progress Bar nicht mehr funktionieren? Wenn ich bisher mit Elementor zufrieden war, dann weil ich bisher den Eindruck hatte, dass man sich Zeit nimmt für neue und getestete Funktionen, die zum Baukasten geh?ren. Die Zeit scheint vorüber und ich werde wohl umschwenken,wenn das die Regel wird.

Biggest annoyance of all times!

eMatt September 10, 2024 1 reply

Don’t even think about using this plugin! It’s the biggest annoyance of all times! It’ll take you 10 times as much time to build a website than without it by creating code 10 times as big (and slow!) without enabling you to address certain recurring elements properly. In addition to that it hinders you to properly optimize a website for SEO/Google. Would give zero stars if possible.
