Docs / Widget Finder / Overview
Overview
A search panel inside the Elementor editor that goes beyond the widgets you already have. Type a widget name, get results from thousands of WordPress.org plugins — install with one click, no leaving the canvas.
Widget Finder turns "I need a widget I don't have" into a four-second action. Search inside Elementor's own widget panel; results blend active widgets, inactive widgets and not-installed widgets. Click Install Plugin on a result and the plugin installs and activates in the background — your unsaved Elementor changes stay safe and the new widget becomes available immediately.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.0 or later
- PHP 8.0 or later
- Elementor (free or Pro)
