Elementor offers web creators a wide range of elements, allowing them enormous flexibility in web design. However, some creators may prefer to reduce the number of elements available in the Editor in order to speed up load times and reduce clutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disable Elementor elements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. From WP Admin, navigate to Elementor>Editor>Home<\/strong>.

    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Click Element Manager<\/strong>.
    \"\"
    A list of elements appears.
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. (Recommended) Click Scan Element Usage<\/strong> to determine which elements are used on your site.
    \"\"\"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. You can also click one of the Show <\/strong>buttons to see which elements are used on your site and how many times they are being used. 
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Toggle elements off and they will not appear in Editor. 
    \"\"
    [redwarning]If you disable elements that you used to build the site, they will no longer work and could even break your site.[\/redwarning]
    For more details about determining which elements to disable, see Filter the elements<\/a> below.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Click Save Changes<\/strong>.
    \"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Disable all unused elements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    To disable all unused elements<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n

      \"\"<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Activate all elements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      If you decide not to disable any elements, you can enable all elements with one click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Searching elements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Before disabling elements you will probably want to figure out what elements you want to disable. Element Manager lets you filter the elements and isolate those you are not using on your site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
