Using dynamic content in Elementor can greatly enhance your website by making it more interactive and personalized. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:
1. Enable Dynamic Content
To use dynamic content, you need Elementor Pro. Make sure you have it installed and activated on your WordPress site.
2. Add Dynamic Tags
Dynamic tags allow you to pull content from your WordPress database and display it in your Elementor designs. Here’s how to use them:
- Open Elementor Editor: Edit the page or post where you want to add dynamic content.
- Select a Widget: Choose any widget (e.g., Heading, Text Editor, Image).
- Click on the Dynamic Tags Icon: You’ll see a small database icon next to the content fields. Click on it to open the dynamic tags options.
- Choose Your Dynamic Content: Select the type of dynamic content you want to display, such as post title, post content, custom fields, etc.
3. Use Theme Builder
Elementor’s Theme Builder allows you to create templates for different parts of your site (e.g., headers, footers, single posts, archive pages) and populate them with dynamic content:
- Create a New Template: Go to Templates > Theme Builder and create a new template.
- Add Dynamic Widgets: Use widgets like Post Title, Post Content, Featured Image, etc., and apply dynamic tags to them.
- Set Display Conditions: Define where and when your template should be displayed on your site.
4. Custom Fields Integration
For more advanced dynamic content, you can use custom fields:
- Install a Custom Fields Plugin: Plugins like Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or Toolset can help you create custom fields.
- Create Custom Fields: Define the custom fields you need for your content.
- Add Custom Fields to Elementor: Use the dynamic tags to pull data from your custom fields into your Elementor designs.
5. Dynamic Listings
Create dynamic listings for posts, products, or any custom post types:
- Use the Posts Widget: Drag the Posts widget into your layout.
- Customize the Query: Set the query to display the posts or products you want.
- Style Your Listings: Use Elementor’s styling options to design your listings.
6. Dynamic Popups
Create popups that display dynamic content based on user interactions:
- Create a New Popup: Go to Templates > Popups and create a new popup.
- Add Dynamic Content: Use dynamic tags to display personalized content in your popup.
- Set Triggers and Conditions: Define when and where the popup should appear.
