What is the Page Title widget?
The Page Title is a dynamic widget that automatically retrieves the title of the page directly from the WordPress editor. Although the page title can only be replaced or deleted in the Elementor Site Identity settings or WordPress Customizer, using the Page Title widget, you can customize font size, font family, color, alignment, letter spacing, text shadow, background color or image, padding, margin, and more.
