Elementor is compatible with most themes. To be compatible, the theme has to be well-constructed according to WordPress guidelines. 

If you are a theme developer, and you’ve included Elementor built-in with your theme, we can grant you special assistance in getting compatibility. 

This usually takes a few days for us to make the proper adjustments, but it is definitely worth your while to include it in your theme.

Some themes come with a preloader that can affect editing with Elementor, causing the screen to look blank, as shown above. To use Elementor with these themes, deactivate the preloader via the theme’s customizer.

Tip: You can use Elementor with other themes, but if you want to take full advantage of theme builder capabilites, it’s best to use the Hello theme or a similarly clean theme. clean theme. If not, some features may not work causing the blank screen above.
