Since I've spent so many hours in Elementor and I saw that they are redesigning the editor I wanted to share my thoughts as well. I hope they will see some value in some of the ideas. Also guys, share your ideas below because there is a chance that they read the comments! Btw, when I recorded this video the new BETA for the new editor wasn't out yet (it now is, who has seen it?). I will make a video about that soon as well because it's quite interesting what they've came up with so far.

100% agree with all of your points Rino. Hopefully Elementor are listening. I would say they also owe you about $10000 for consultancy!

I have to disagree regarding the background. They nailed it with classic as it allows to choose both color and an image. This comes in play when using a transparent image, and you want to choose its background color

Pleaaaaseee Elementor listen to this guy, he has good advice. As well add the SVG support.

Thank you Rino for your expert explanations in your tutorials. One feature that I’m sure othe users would LOVE to see is the link selection ((the small chain) in the padding and margins. Linked could be one color and not linked another. So many times I think the link is not linked and I go to adjust and all change because I could tell if the tiny chain icon was one way or the other. If that was color coded, you could see at a glance if it was a connected or broken link. This would speed up work flow and I’m sure other users would appreciate it. Thanks again for all you do.

Thanks man, more video to come

I 100% agree with all of your points, Rino. Thank you for making this video.

The term widgets really got me when I first started using them... Since Elementor is for WordPress I thought they were to do with WordPress widgets... they should be called elements. And pretty much everything you said about templates/landing pages etc is spot on. So confusing!

My main problem is probably because my screen is 1920x1080, but I can only see my true desktop layout by collapsing the main toolbar. When I'm working, Elementor resizes and moves some elements to fit in the visible working area in a way that does not preserve the actual proportions of the design. So I can only position elements by trial and error, and then flip back and forth between the open and closed toolbar to check the result. It would be so much better to either let me choose to hover the toolbar over the design and not change the positioning of my design at all, or to shrink the design proportionally to fit my working area so that I can put elements in the correct place. It's so annoying to have to guess where an element is going to land once Elementor shows me the full-screen layout.

Hey Rino, I find your content so valuable as hell. Working as a website designer for 3 yrs I am switching from buying pro templates to subscribe for elementor pro and be more flexible to deliver content I want to, not that one I am restricted by the theme creator. (writing from my travel channel ;-) ) I got an interesting question which might concern lots of people in this business. How and where do you store all the credentials gained from clients? e.g. ftp, login details, database details etc. Thank you!

Bold! I love it!

I really like some things Webflow has. Particularly for margin and padding where you have the box with all the sides and the numbers that you can change by clicking and dragging/sliding or manually. It makes margin and padding more visual and easier for new webbuilders to understand, I know a lot of people struggle with it. Same goes for the flexbox options, some things can be made more visual in the editor itself.

I agree with all of your comments, Rino. The ones that I like most are making the font window larger, Making the global setting more visible (a very big one!), having the responsive modes more visible (and always while in editing mode), going back to the old theme builder as default, and being able to multi select. And, Rino, how far away are you from launching your courses on Elementor Pro and Figma? Can't wait to enroll.

Please make a video how to build this kind of styleguide in elementor where we can edit all the typography stuff

I agree with pretty much everything except for the click to add widget. I prefer to drag, it gives the user the feeling of greater control of widget placement even if it is a bit placebo. Alternatives, we could just have both modes, click and drag for the drag option and simply click and release for the click to add widget.

My problem with the state of elementor is, that it doesnt really know if it wants to be a tool for pros or for beginners. Some of their features are really advanced, some are way to basic and inconsistent. That can be seen in the UI but also functionality wise. For me thats the reason why I prefere bricks.

I just love your videos

No kidding.. As much as I love using Elementor, it's about time that their editor UI gets a well needed revamp.. I'm really excited to see what they come up with. 😆

As I see, you're building websites with Elementor entirely. It is interesting how you optimise the performance and build quality with element containers. If you make a video about it, it would be great. I'm having issues with optimizing Elementor. I may be missing something.

Great video

Hey ! Can you tell me, how you add your living with Pixel logo in top of dashboard option

I would love to have a default measurement unit picker, it's really annoying to switch from pixels to REM in every widget

When previewing a page using the "Preview Changes" button in the lower left corner (to view on front end, not merely hiding the editor), turn off whatever makes it reload the page every few minutes. So often I am in the middle of inspecting the page with devtools, and then it suddenly refreshes on me and I loose all the custom css I was experimenting with. It should only refresh when a change was saved in the editor.

Hey rino can you please make a playlist on figma. Learned alot from your elementor videos

The Global Settings part makes a lot of sense to be visible to access. unfortunately there is a bug that has been happening for more than months when using the global color with dynamic tags, I put a color using options page of the jetEngine or ACF directly in the global color, when setting the color in the constructor it works, but when we go to the front- end the color does not work.

Themify had a feature to adjust margin and padding via drag and drop on the interface itself. Pretty dope UX

100% agree with you rino

Wow! Elementor you better look at this!

Headlines alignment is in the Content tab, while text alignment is in design tab

Heb je misschien een font import type template?

Hey Rino, can you make video about your youtube studio? Lights you use in your room.

Hey Rino. Is that Elementor Pro course available yet? I'm very interested!!

1. SVGs addable in the Editor: What I do not understand is, why i cant upload svgs in the elementor editor. I have to go go the wp dashboard and add SVGs there. Could be generally an elementor function to be able to add svgs without extra plugins. 2. Navigator moving containers I often have the problem that i cant move some container into another one. I bet it has to do with the width or full width settings. 3. Hotkeys, extra bars with custom buttons in it etc would be nice. At the bottom of the editor window you could integrate an optional bar with custom buttons that lead to functions etc. For oxygen there was an addon for a better editor with such a bottom bar which is great. 4. More plugins, icons etc. For tools like figma you can add plugins like icons8, iconify etc. To quickly import icons or even images. You can quickly add lots of different icons, pictures, svgs, animated icons. I develop some sites without a figma design to save time and this would even increase my productivity to be able to add assets to my pages. 5. Cloud features Might be difficult to work on a design with more devs but it might offer new possibilities to be able to work on a page simultaneously. 6. White/dark mode native support This would probably be greatly appreciated by a lot of designers. A state where you can edit colors specifically for white or dark mode. Realizable with a simple toggle. And just another color palette. (You need to be able to select different images for the dark mode and maybe also change other design settings. But i think it is doable and would be great. 7. Responsive images / website speed Would be great if elementor would would store different resolution versions of images for different screen resolutions in a smart way to increase website performance without a lot of fumbling for the webdesigner. 8. Experimental split testing / feedback loops for new functions. You could present different experimental parts of the editor in 2 or 3 versions and you can let the webdesigners individually design their GUI. With that modular approach and taking more feedback from the designers you will get faster, better feedback from the customer base. Elementor support, if my tips are useful, feel free to text me shirts(at)toteb.de I can work as a think tank and maybe give you some ideas.

Rino please bring some Elementor container videos. Also if you can please bring some cool CSS tricks as well.

the best thing can Elementor team try, is making Elementor have many themes and customizations on UI, it makes the designer chose his prefer theme for Elementor.

I would like to see closer together in the menu tree Pages , Temeplates , Globas Settings , Plugins , since we have to travel a lot now

Thank you for your videos. I have a question, how can I use Elementor to display dynamic content on the Taxonomy Archive page, depending on which Taxonomy page we are on? Or is there only one option - to make a unique archive for each taxonomy?

Consider using Bricks Builder Theme

I wanted to apply a kit to a page and it just messed up my whole site it is very confusing when going trough this process. it changed all the colors all the settings of my site , ... , and imported all those images to clutter my library. I wanted to test a kit on a page and see if I like it. then maybe create more pages with that design. It felt like a bucket of paint felt on my whole website and I had to clean all the clutter and go over all my global settings again, fonts , etc ... kits and templates merged together and we could have more control over the general things we apply with clear warnings of what we overwrite / publish or maybe just let us see what we do on some pages then a prompt to apply it. same for pages and landing pages it would be nice to have all the pages grouped together less clicks no loading to go to settings we visit often.

Hi Rino, I also think most of your points should be considered for better user experience and also Elementor should watch Bricks and Breakdance for better product ui/ux design perspective.

I think it would be better to copy specific widget styles as well. Most of the time, I only need to copy the padding or gradient style-not the entire widget styles to another/different widget.

I really want first in global setting choose if I want use px or rem or em etc. Missing this setting global

100% agree

Elementor's days are numbered. The landcape is changing.

i agree

I think the drag and drop in the navigator is also very annoying. You have to be verry precise when you drag the section for example under another section. It would be perfect when you could select the section and just use the arrow keys or command arrow keys to drag the section to somewhere else. You could also make arrows next to the + section of the section, so that is it easy to change the placement of the section

Missing your videos

i just want elementor to become like webflow but keep all the widgets they provide. it would get more famous than any builder

Elementor already has the new UI, availabe in beta version,it's buggy and in alpha state, but you can test it. Also how come you don't use containers? Much more flexible and better performance in my websites for now.

Divi has best Ui

I think the new them builder is cool but lacks some functionality as you said

We need speed improvements, please!

Give the possibility to form inline label + field

I would love for Elementor to Autosave my changes and edits. It's one less thing I have to remember to do

Also the responsive feature with elementor seems like a guessing game

I would love to have more visual and intuitive way to set margin and padding. Webflow may be a good example. The recent design is... Why the hell the field for right padding is left from right?

I don't want more toolbars 😅 I've used more than enough of IE to know I hate them.

Add type to custom code like js css php (inspiration of the plug-in simple js css

Does anyone here use the block editor? I wanted to know if it's worth investing time and effort into getting comfortable with it?

Add variable fonts - we have been waiting for 3 years

@elementor

Combine the layout and advanced omg it’s something so annoying going through all the three tabs looking for something

My #1 request would be to ensure ‘critical error’ white pages regardless of hosting php or WP auto updates could not be ever happening 🤬🙏🏻😃

hide elementor edit button for everyone except designer

As tool which marketing as tool to making beautiful site . Their in house starter site is not really appealing in term of visual aspects

Just modify the rex and everything is solved

I agree with all the things you sad 😂

I would like to stop by to remind you that the long-awaited new Elementor UI turned out to be shit. Nothing against Cor Rosa, but I'm going to stop updating Elementor and switch to Bricks, it's horrible and it hurts my eyes to work with this new interface.

who gives a F
