Description

ST Elementor Addons is a freemium WordPress plugin that dramatically expands what you can build with Elementor. Where Elementor ends, ST Elementor Addons begins – adding 25+ conversion-focused widgets, a complete Theme Builder for custom headers and footers, a full WooCommerce widget suite, a Pop-up Builder, Dynamic Tags, and productivity extensions, all in a single lightweight package.

Unlike bloated addon plugins that slow your site with scripts loaded on every page, ST Elementor Addons uses a smart register-only asset system: CSS and JavaScript are loaded only on pages where a widget actually appears. Every widget can be individually enabled or disabled from the admin dashboard, so you carry zero overhead from features you do not use.

Whether you are building a personal blog, a WooCommerce store, a marketing landing page, or a full agency website, ST Elementor Addons gives you the tools to do it entirely inside Elementor – without purchasing Elementor Pro or installing half a dozen separate plugins.

Why ST Elementor Addons Stand Out

Most Elementor addon plugins fall into one of two traps: they are either too limited (offering a handful of basic widgets) or too heavy (loading global scripts that hurt Core Web Vitals scores on every page). ST Elementor Addons takes a different approach.

Built for Elementor’s Container system: every widget is designed for Elementor’s modern flexbox-based container layout, not the legacy section/column system. Your layouts stay future-proof.
Per-widget toggle controls: the admin dashboard lets you switch individual widgets on or off. Disabled widgets are not loaded in PHP at all – zero memory overhead, zero asset cost.
Register-only asset loading: all CSS and JS are registered at plugin init, but only enqueued by the widget that needs them, only on pages where that widget renders. No global stylesheet bloat.
FontAwesome smart loading: the plugin detects whether Elementor’s own FontAwesome is available and uses it first, only falling back to its bundled copy if needed – preventing duplicate icon library loads.
No page builder lock-in for Theme Builder: the Theme Builder outputs standard WordPress header/footer hooks with proper schema.org markup, making it compatible with virtually any WordPress theme.
WPML and Polylang ready: the Theme Builder passes all template IDs through the WPML translation filter, so multilingual sites automatically display the correct translated header, footer, or template.

General Widgets – Build Any Page

ST Button: craft primary, secondary, and outline CTAs with full control over shape, gradient fills, icon placement, and hover state animations. Every button style your designs demand.
ST Heading: advanced heading widget with gradient text support, giving you typographic options beyond Elementor’s native heading widget.

Popup Builder – Convert More Visitors

The ST Popup Builder gives you a full popup design system inside Elementor. Create targeted popups using any Elementor template, with complete control over overlay styles, close button positioning, and trigger behavior. The included Popup Trigger Dynamic Tag lets you attach popup open/close events to any Elementor widget – buttons, images, text, icons – without writing any JavaScript.

Popups are stored as a custom post type, making them easy to manage, duplicate, and organize alongside your other Elementor templates.

WooCommerce Widget Suite – Build Your Entire Store in Elementor

ST Elementor Addons includes a comprehensive set of WooCommerce widgets that let you design every part of your online store – product archive pages, individual product pages, cart, and checkout – using Elementor’s drag-and-drop editor. All WooCommerce widgets load only when WooCommerce is active.

ST Product Grid: merchandise collections with sale badges, quick-view, ratings, wishlist, and a powerful query builder. Supports AJAX-powered numbered pagination and add-to-cart actions with SweetAlert2 notifications.
ST Product Select Filter: dropdown filters for categories, tags, attributes, or any custom taxonomy – instantly narrows product grid results.

Built-in Wishlist System

The wishlist integrates with the ST Product Grid widget via AJAX, with SweetAlert2 popups for login-required prompts and action confirmation. A

shortcode lets you display any user’s wishlist on any page or post.

Theme Builder – Replace Your Theme’s Header, Footer & Templates

The ST Theme Builder is one of the most powerful features in the plugin. It gives you a full visual template system to replace your theme’s header, footer, singular post layouts, and archive pages with pixel-perfect Elementor designs – without needing Elementor Pro.

Template Types: create separate Elementor templates for Header, Footer, Singular (individual posts/pages), and Archive (category/tag/search/product archive) layouts.
Display Rules: assign templates to specific pages, posts, post types, taxonomy terms, or set them as global defaults. Combine include and exclude rules with user role targeting for granular control over who sees what.
Sticky Header System: the Header Sticky extension adds dedicated controls to every Elementor container: independently set background, shadow, border, padding, and margin for the default and sticky states. Elements can be shown or hidden exclusively in sticky mode – enabling transparent-to-solid header transitions with zero JavaScript configuration.
Live Preview in Elementor Editor: preview any Theme Builder template as a specific post, page, archive, or taxonomy directly in the Elementor editor. Preview source is set per template and updates instantly.
WPML & Polylang Compatible: template IDs are resolved through the wpml_object_id filter, ensuring multilingual sites serve the correct translated template automatically.
Schema.org Markup: rendered headers and footers include proper WPHeader and WPFooter schema.org itemtype attributes for improved structured data.

Productivity Extensions

ST Dynamic Tags: bind Elementor widget content to post meta, author data, WooCommerce product values, ACF custom fields, and the Popup Trigger tag – enabling truly dynamic, data-driven page designs.
ST Custom CSS: inject widget-level CSS directly in the Elementor panel without touching theme files. Scoped to the individual widget’s wrapper for precision targeting.
ST Floating Effect: animate hero sections, icons, cards, and CTAs with continuous floating, bob, or drift animations. Pure CSS output – no JavaScript required.
ST Social Chat Buttons: add WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, or custom chat launcher buttons to any page with one-click theming and position controls.
Heading Gradient Extension: extends Elementor’s native Heading widget with gradient text controls – no separate widget required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do ST Elementor Addons require Elementor Pro?

No. ST Elementor Addons works with the free version of Elementor (3.10.0 or higher). You do not need Elementor Pro for the vast majority of features, including the full Theme Builder, all WooCommerce widgets, the Popup Builder, Dynamic Tags, and all 25+ general widgets. Three Theme Builder content widgets (Post Title, Post Content, Post Featured Image) require a Pro license from StrivioThemes.

Q: Will ST Elementor Addons slow down my website?

No. ST Elementor Addons uses a register-only asset loading approach. All CSS and JavaScript files are registered at plugin initialization, but only enqueued on pages where that specific widget actually renders. Additionally, each widget can be individually disabled from the admin dashboard, which prevents its PHP file from loading at all. This makes ST Elementor Addons one of the most performance-conscious Elementor addon plugins available.

Q: What is the ST Theme Builder, and do I need Elementor Pro for it?

The ST Theme Builder lets you design custom headers, footers, singular post layouts, and archive templates entirely in Elementor — without Elementor Pro. You can assign templates to specific pages, post types, taxonomy archives, or set them as global defaults. Include and exclude rules, user role targeting, and a live preview system in the Elementor editor are all included free.

Q: Can I use ST Elementor Addons to build WooCommerce product pages in Elementor?

Yes. ST Elementor Addons includes 11 WooCommerce-specific widgets covering product grids, filtering (dropdown, checkbox, tab), add-to-cart, product price, data tabs, ratings, breadcrumbs, cart page, and checkout page. Combined with the Theme Builder, you can design your entire WooCommerce store — from shop archive to checkout — using only Elementor and this plugin.

Q: How does the sticky header system work?

The Header Sticky extension adds controls to every Elementor section and container. You can independently configure background color, box shadow, border, padding, and margin for both the default state and the sticky state. Individual elements can be shown or hidden in each state, enabling common effects like transparent-to-solid header transitions or showing a compact logo only when scrolled. The sticky state is triggered by a CSS class added by the plugin’s lightweight JavaScript.

Q: Are ST Elementor Addons compatible with WPML and Polylang?

Yes. The Theme Builder includes a dedicated WPML compatibility class that passes all template IDs through the wpml_object_id filter. For Polylang, it handles null returns (when a translation does not exist) gracefully by falling back to the original template. This ensures multilingual sites automatically display the correct translated header, footer, or page template.

Q: Can I control which widgets are active?

Yes. The admin dashboard includes a widget management panel where each widget can be individually toggled on or off. When a widget is disabled, its PHP file is not loaded, its assets are not registered, and it does not appear in the Elementor widget panel. This gives you complete control over your plugin’s footprint.

Q: What is the Flexbox Carousel, and how is it different from other carousels?

The ST Flexbox Carousel is container-based — meaning you can place any Elementor container, widget, or complex layout inside each carousel slide. Most carousel widgets only accept simple text or image content. The Flexbox Carousel accepts the full power of Elementor’s drag-and-drop editor inside each slide, with per-breakpoint column counts, autoplay, gap controls, and navigation styling.

Q: Does the plugin include a pop-up builder?

Yes. The ST Popup Builder lets you design popups using any Elementor template, with full control over overlay appearance, close button styling, and trigger behavior. The Popup Trigger Dynamic Tag lets you attach pop-up open/close actions to any Elementor widget without writing code. Popups are stored as a custom post type for easy management.

Q: Where can I get support and documentation?

Documentation, tutorials, and support are available at striviothemes.com. The plugin’s readme includes installation instructions and FAQ entries. Video tutorials are linked from the plugin’s admin dashboard. For theme-related questions, the StrivioThemes support team can be reached through the website.
