A search panel inside the Elementor editor that goes beyond what you have installed. Type a widget name, get results from thousands of WordPress.org plugins — install with one click, no leaving the canvas.
From “I need a widget I do not have” to “the widget is in my panel” takes about four seconds. The plugin installs in the background while you keep working — Elementor never reloads, your unsaved changes stay safe.
You are laying out a page. You need a price-table widget. The kind you have looks wrong. So you save, leave the editor, search the WordPress repo, install, activate, come back, refresh, and try again. Twenty minutes gone.
Widget Finder removes the trip. Search inside Elementor’s own widget panel. Results include active widgets, inactive widgets and not-installed widgets. Click Install Plugin; the plugin installs and activates in the background.
Results blend active widgets, inactive widgets and not-installed widgets — each with rating and install count.
Install and activate a plugin directly from the Elementor widget panel. The widget becomes available immediately.
Group settings pages from Widget Finder-installed plugins under one collapsible Plugin Settings item.
Widget Finder is not a marketplace. It indexes the public WordPress.org plugin repository — the same source your dashboard uses — and exposes it where you actually need it.
A dedicated panel inside Elementor’s widget sidebar, designed for the exact moment you need a widget.
Background install and activation from the result card, without leaving the canvas or losing unsaved work.
See the public plugin signal before you install: ratings, active installs and plugin source.
A Pages using widgets column helps you decide which plugins are safe to deactivate or remove.
Daily cleanup can deactivate or uninstall the oldest unused tracked plugins once limits are reached.
Notification Center and menu consolidation keep the dashboard usable even when testing plugin packs.
No license key, no activation limit, no front-end payload. Use it across client sites.
Widget Finder is built to disappear after it does its job. It only loads in wp-admin and the Elementor editor — zero front-end weight.
Free, GPL and usable on every client site you build.
Visitors never download Widget Finder assets; it lives in admin and Elementor only.
Configurable limits for unused active and inactive tracked plugins.
Updates come through the Dudaster GitHub releases and appear under Dashboard → Updates.
On every new client site, search the widget, install it, drag it, done — across dozens of installs.
Prototype with widget packs without committing to them forever. Cleanup handles unused experiments.
See which installed widget plugins are actually used on pages before removing anything.
Collapse banner noise into one bell so the WordPress dashboard stays readable.
Settings pages from tracked plugins sit under one Plugin Settings group.
It searches the public WordPress.org plugin repository and installs plugins through WordPress’ own plugin installer. The action is initiated by an admin from inside Elementor.
No. Widget Finder loads only in wp-admin and the Elementor editor. Visitors do not download its assets.
It tracks plugins installed through Widget Finder, then shows usage information and cleanup actions for those plugins.
No. Cleanup is scoped to plugins installed and tracked by Widget Finder.
The plugin is distributed through Dudaster GitHub releases. Once installed, updates appear in WordPress like normal plugin updates.
Yes. The HTML source describes it as GPL and free, with no license key or usage cap.
Dudaster tools are built to remove tiny, repetitive workflow breaks: ECS shapes Elementor, AICOM lets agents operate WordPress, and Widget Finder keeps builders inside the editor.
