What Is A Section/Column/Widget? Print

  • 0

  • Elementor uses three main building blocks: Sections, Columns, and Widgets.
  • Sections are the largest building blocks, and inside them are groups of Columns.
  • Columns sit inside of Sections and are used to house the Widgets.
  • Widgets are placed inside of Columns.
  • You control the Section, Column, and Widgets with their handle.

 

  • You can choose to show or hide the editing handles by clicking the hamburger menu to open Elementor's Style & Settings Configuration menu.
