✅ Elementor Pro v2.9 Beta 3 (RC) Release 📣 #10718
Comments
Very good job ! |
The expected behavior should be opening the page to edit and having the header or footer section selected by default as the editing area when those links are clicked via the admin toolbar links from the frontend correct? Basically it should jump to the header or footer sections in the editor as shown in the screenshot posted by @shilo-ey above, but you can switch back to editing the main page contents. If it currently is doing the behavior you posted above @rodolphebertozzo then i completely agree it needs to be fixed, the new features behavior/access should be consistent. Trying to edit the header or footer from the front end should jump straight to editing those templates when the link to edit them is clicked within the admin toolbar while still being able to edit the main page contents of the page that the link was clicked on as well. i.e. If i try to edit the header on the homepage, i should immediately be taken to the editor for the header, but i can the click the edit button for the main page contents as in the screenshot above to immediately return to editing the main page contents, rather than have to return to the page via another method. Otherwise we still partially retain the disjointed editing experience that this feature intends to solve. If this is not fixed, the header/footer being editable in the same screen only applies if we choose to open the editor for the page contents first, then hit the edit button for the header/footer within. Elementor should be able to determine which page should appear in the editor based on the url of the page the toolbar link to edit the header or footer was clicked on. @shilo-ey This is something you should be able to patch quickly right? I assume you can just have it pull the content based on the url slug of the page the header/footer editor links were clicked on. That way we can choose to edit the header and footer of the page directly, then return to the main page contents, instead of being forced to load the editor for the main page contents first, then choose to edit the header and footer, saving a step and making the behavior consistent, regardless of whether the mainpage content's editor was opened first. |
Categories Dynamic Colour Support Support dynamic colours assigned to Categories via ACF, i have tested it and it won't pull the colours. Use case:
Steps Took:
Tested on:
|
When assigning a dynamic colour inside the Theme Style panel, the dynamic values (taken from an ACF Options meta field) is not changing the color or saving inside the Theme Styles panel in the Key field of the chosen colour. This is ONLY evident in the Theme Style panel and not in the settings for widgets. To recreate:
This is tested inside the latest version of Chrome browser |
Header edit handle is not showing up: https://hawks.media/GGuNr866 |

How to go back to the post which I created in #1? How can a user see when he is in the template and when he is in the post/page… itself? It would be great to have an obvious info to see that you are in the template. |
I receive an error when I try to update to the Beta version. I am testing in a local environment. "An error occurred while updating Elementor Pro: Could not create directory. elementor-pro/modules/animated-headline/assets" |
If you're using Local by Flywheel this is a known issue. |
"Tweak: Pro widgets are not draggable unless Elementor license has been activated" Tried my darnedest to find where this "tweak" has been requested ;) |
CSS rules. I had to tweak the instruction to get it working. .elementor .roses-headings h1 { color: red; } #h1-violet-heading { background: pink; } If not, it applied background color to all h tags Otherwise, I am enjoying this experience. Used Firefox developer edition |
Upper handle not working. Cannot get out of footer edit mode unless refreshing page |
What exactly is the difference between the Theme Styles Global CSS option and the default WP core Additional CSS option in the Customizer. They look the same to me. |

markhaven-music, On your actual site an error refers to the Zoa theme. Have you tried changing themes? |
Any reason why there is no Pods support for dynamic colour fields? |
In the page settings, I can't put an html tag, so I can't put the tag for my page or are the tags just valid for models? |

You can still access the specific site part (header/single/footer) as a separate part of your site. that's being said, you can now access them from any page. currently we won't block this option. @mohammadr3z commented on Mar 1, 2020, 11:22 PM GMT+2: Thanks @mickviller commented on Mar 2, 2020, 9:02 AM GMT+2:
Thanks, the current scope of this feature is basic dynamic capabilities, although we are working on an option to set the Post colors from the Category it's associated to, but I can't assure it will be included in this release. @Psmeg commented on Mar 2, 2020, 3:35 PM GMT+2:
Dynamic colors won't be supported in Theme Style and maybe will be added in the future. @Tvhawk commented on Mar 3, 2020, 3:14 AM GMT+2:
@steponme82 commented on Mar 4, 2020, 11:08 AM GMT+2:
Thanks. Try updating to Core v2.9.4 and let us know if that solved the issue for you. @haemeulrich commented on Mar 3, 2020, 7:00 PM GMT+2:
It's a bug we are working on resolving, you should be able to access the Post's content from the Header and Footer, not from the Single template. @Jorihlen commented on Mar 4, 2020, 1:12 AM GMT+2:
Please make sure you have sufficient write privileges in your server user. If the issue persists, try changing the folder's write privileges. (thanks @michaelwright74) @Veniko commented on Mar 4, 2020, 12:38 PM GMT+2:
Elementor will add the Global CSS to every page Elementor is loaded on. besides it, much better workflow when editing your site. @kristiangl commented on Mar 5, 2020, 2:48 AM GMT+2:
Currently, we haven't added Pods support, but it will be added in later versions. @rodolphebertozzo commented on Mar 5, 2020, 10:07 AM GMT+2:
You can add HTML tags for Header, Footer, Archive, Single, Product, Products Archive and Popup documents. Thanks. Please try to update to Elementor Core v2.9.4 which addresses some of the issues raised and let us know what do you think. Please keep this related to the Current beta Only! any other Issue Report or Feature Request feel free to open a new issue. Thanks again to everyone for your great feedback. |
@shilo-ey It's absolutely a Local by Flywheel issue as I also experience it with Elementor Extras and ThePlus Addons for Elementor as well as Elementor Pro, other plugins update fine. I have a support thread here about the issue... I was able to install the Beta by trying to do the update through the WP updates page and copying the URL given with the error message and pasting it in a new browser window which downloaded the install zip to my local machine and then doing a manual update. |
The problem mentioned before where you can't see or clicking won't work on the Edit Header is caused by the following as near as I can tell: If I go into developer tools Inspect and set the z-index to 999, the problem is solved. As a temporary work-around you can put this code in the Theme Style, Custom CSS: |
Issue when editing a global button:
PHP: 7.3.15 Elementor v2.9.3 |
Same questions here ! |
The navigator is not updating according to where you are (post / single / header / footer). |
When I'm trying to create a Popup Template or a Header Template the Editor gets stuck:
I'm runing only Elementor 2.9.4 and Elementor 2.9.0-beta1 |
The same with Elementor 2.9.4 and Elementor 2.8.4. And it seems to be not working consistently when trying to add a new Header Template. |
It's been 4 days since anyone has responded from Elementor. It would be nice to get some feedback. |
When will it finally be released? I'm waiting for dynamic colors.. |
No one is talking about using beta software in production, we're talking about doing proper beta testing and reporting errors that need to be fixed before launch, in order to minimise issues with the non-beta using customers - and the product launching with those problems anyway in order to meet a pre-determined deadline. Marketing over engineering. Sheesh - I've been beta testing for 20 years. |
jdub, you beat me to the punch. Obviously I was talking about the past release of Elementor 2.9 Final as well as not addressing the errors when they are brought to the attention of the developers while in beta. |
@godvsgodvs commented on Mar 13, 2020, 6:22 PM GMT+2:
Any current bugs that you can direct us to please (besides the one you described earlier with the z-index issue)? Please note that some of the fixes were implemented on the Core version (v2.9.6) and some in Beta 2 of Elementor Pro. Please let us know, we're here to listen and learn from you guys. Cheers. |
shilo-ey, My recommendation would be to give us updates more often than 4 day intervals. I, and I'm sure others, would like to know we aren't wasting our time. Thank You. |
I complete agree with this. If I am going to test, then I need to know there is fluid comms - that's how it works - and that's how we progress. If glaring issues are left without response, then I feel less inclined to offer feedback. We are here to help improve the product for us - and you. |
So is this issue fixed yet? |
It will be fixed in the RC version that will release soon. |
Beta 3 is now available and the z-index issue is fixed it appears. I haven't checked much else yet. |
We just released a new beta version, please update your version to v2.9 Beta 3. This is our Release Candidate version (issues and bug fixes will be addressed if necessary). This beta release includes:
Please keep this related to the Current beta Only! any other Issue Report or Feature Request feel free to open a new issue. Thanks again to everyone. |

Finally, is Elementor Pro available or not? On the extension details, there is a list of modifications with a release on the 15th (yesterday), so I can't install the official 2.9 version. |
I think availability at the moment depends where you are in the world. It seems to be a slow staged roll out. |
I don't believe so - b3 was a release candidate, but afaik it hasn't gone final yet. |
Thanks @jdub850000 , we issued a fix for this issue. Elementor Pro v2.9 is rolling out, until tomorrow you should see the update in your site. Thanks |
You're a tease lol. I see 2.9.1 is released now but still nothing in the UK. |
I'm getting Elementor Pro 2.9.1 now. I had to turn Beta mode off and then saw reinstall 2.9.1 in version control. |
Yes, all is good! Elementor Pro 2.9 is avaible (with 2.9.1 version) |
Full site editing is currently broken on the header and the styling for the selector on the footer is as well. You'll notice in the screenshot above the circled areas where the design is broken, and you can see the jagged edges. The header section selector is completely broken and unselectable, it does not appear when i mouse over the header, the orange outline however does. It seems like the top part of it is cut off, but the bottom works, as evidenced by the orange outline at the bottom of the header. This is with Elementor pro 2.9.1 and Elementor 2.9.6 |
I'm still waiting for the update (Germany).. |
Thanks for that - appreciated. Upgraded and working as expected! |
Thank you all for your feedback! Elementor v2.9 is out, feel free to update! If you find any other bug, feel free to create a new Issue Report or Feature Request. Thanks again to everyone. |
Can reflect the header footer edit in the navigator? |
===========
Beta 3 UPDATED - PLEASE READ BELOW!
===========
Hi Elementor beta testers,
We׳re getting ready to release Elementor Pro v2.9, with a groundbreaking Full Site Editing feature.
We would like to ask you to help us test Elementor Pro v2.9 Beta, with 4 new features:
Before you test, please make sure you are using:
Introducing Full Site Editing: Design header, footer, and content all in one place! (#4985)
Even in 2020, editing a site is still divided and all over the place.
You edit the header, back to the dashboard screen, then the content page, then the header again, switch over to the footer. Sheesh!
Introducing Full Site Editing, design your entire site, all from one place.
As a designer, you can now enjoy a seamless experience of designing the entire page, header to footer included, all from one screen. It will save you time, effort, and a lot of redundant clicks.
When designers work, they often need to get into the flow, after having their creative juices flowing. In this upcoming version we offer a unified experience in one place, without any interruptions to your workflow mid way to switch to another screen and allowing you to design the site top to bottom. At the same time, we maintained the distinction between the different site parts: header, single, content and footer, so you know exactly what you are editing at each point of the design process.
After you start using the new Full Site Editing feature, you’ll be able to quickly switch between the different site parts. It’s a huge UX improvement, and we hope it will do wonders for your workflow.
How It Works
While editing a page, hover over the area you wish to change and click on the orange handle to edit that site part (header, single post, single page, footer, etc...).
Done editing a certain area? Save your changes and continue to the next one.
Test Flow:
Meet Custom CSS Rules for Your Entire Site (#3345)
Speaking of full site editing, here’s another related time-saver feature that will give you extra flexibility.
One of our most requested features we get is the ability to set Custom CSS globally. With Elementor Pro v2.9, you can add custom CSS rules which will apply to your entire site.
Simply enter the Theme Style menu and open the Custom CSS section. Simple as that!
Test Flow:
roses-headings
in CSS Class andviolet-heading
in CSS ID fields.elementor .roses-headings h2 { color: red; }
and#violet-heading { background: blue; }
to the code fieldNew Dynamic Tag Support: Dynamic Colors (#6485)
The third addition to version 2.9 pro also relates to a global design feature - dynamic content.
If you recall, with Dynamic Content, you can create advanced websites like directories and catalogs without coding. This is done by taking content from custom fields and other sources, and dynamically displaying it on the page.
Until now, dynamic tags were restricted to textual and numeric inputs. With the new ‘Dynamic Color’ option, you can embed dynamic color values in any widget that has a color field. The new Color Dynamic control supports ACF color fields as well as Custom field keys.
Want to create an Ecommerce site where the product pages change color according to which product page is viewed? With this feature, you can!
Test flow:
Wrapper HTML Tags - Set
<header>
,<footer>
,<aside>
,<main>
or<article>
wrapper tags to Your Site Parts (#9293)Until today, when creating a header, footer or a regular page template using Theme Builder, you could only set HTML tags per section. Because most content you create with Elementor consists of several sections, it made it difficult to assign one HTML tag across a whole area.
From now on, you can set HTML tags per theme part. Assign your entire header with
<header>
tag, your entire content area with<main>
tag and your footer with<footer>
tag.By assigning a relevant HTML tag for each theme element, you improve accessibility and HTML semantics and improve your on-page SEO.
Test Flow:
