By purchasing Essentials you are making an investment. This package becomes more valuable with the release of each update, and you will receive all future updates for free.
Marquee Templates
You can now use custom saved templates built with Elementor or WPBakery directly as items inside the Marquee element. This new option allows you to move beyond simple text, icons or images and create fully custom marquee content using your own layouts, designs, and components — all managed directly from the page builder.
With Marquee Templates, you can create a wide range of unique layouts such as cards, feature sections, testimonials, content blocks, and more — all scrolling smoothly inside the Marquee.
Explore examples and see what you can build:
Copy & Paste Header Elements
Editing headers is now faster with new right-click Copy, Paste, and Delete actions directly inside the Header Builder. Copy elements between desktop and tablet/mobile header layouts, or reuse them across different headers on the same website — making it easier to keep your navigation consistent and avoid rebuilding the same elements from scratch. This small workflow improvement can save time when creating responsive or multi-header websites.
