  1. Hi there!
    I’d like to report a problem I’m experiencing since less than a week now.
    I’ve been using the PDF embed widget succesfully for a while now. I’ve just noticed that anytime I access a PDF using this widget, I get the following response (en français): HTTP: La requête a échoué.
    I’ve enabled the WP debug log and get the following message :
    [16-Mar-2022 16:15:24 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined index: elementor-addon-components/elementor-addon-components.php in xxxxxx.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor-addon-components/includes/eac-update-plugin.php on line 157
    I’m pretty much running everything at the lastest version or almost. I’ll try a few other things at my end, but if you have any suggestions to help me out here, I’d most appreciate it.
    Please advise.

  2. Bonjour.
    Regarding my previous message. Just wanted to let you know my problem is solved. The problem with the « Visionneuse PDF » widget is now resolved and was not at all related to the widget itself, but rather to a broken SSL certificate chain. I have resolved the SSL certificate issue and the « HTTP: La requête a échoué. » error message has disapeared and PDF documents now appear as they should.
    Merci.

  3. Hi there.
    After my recent post regarding an EAC error message with the PDF Viewer widget, I had left the WordPress debug log option active on my website, so as to keep an eye out on things. It turns out that another EAC error message now appears, but I don’t know what it means, and if I need to take any action. There’s no apparent malfunction on the front end. Here’s the most recent error message:
    [23-Mar-2022 17:19:25 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined index: elementor-addon-components/elementor-addon-components.php in xxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor-addon-components/includes/eac-plugin-updater.php on line 194
    I confirm that I’m only using the PDF Viewer widget, and in appearance anyway, it works well for me.
    Please advise.
    Merci.

    Reply

    • Hi François,
      I can confirm that the ‘PDF viewer’ component is not the source of the trace in the error log but it is due to a bug in the update of the plugin which is being resolved.
      Merci.

  4. Hi, I have something weird happening with modal box. When I choose to use Link HTML as content type, and add external link, popup is open but nothing is visible, it is blank. I tried several web addresses, like Google, but nothing opening in popup, just blank window. On the other hand some other url opens ok.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    I have tried everything, nothing work and it would be really fantastic if you can help me with this. I have start thinking that Facebook make problem and do not aloud their pages to show in popup. 🙁

    PS. I love your plugin, thank you for inventing it 🙂

      Sorry for this inconvenience but the links (Link HTML) are opened in an IFRAME and the content can only be displayed if the remote server authorizes it.

  5. Hi,

    Wondering how I can have my own style for the Posts Grid widget. For example, I would like the Featured Image to appear before the Title and add a custom ACF field as well.

    Thank you.

    Reply

    • Hi Sarat,
      In the next version (1.9.7) the image will be displayed first before the title.
      Regarding ‘add a custom ACF field as well’, i don’t understand where this field could be injected since all the data is extracted from each article.

      Sorry for the issues you are facing
      First: could you to tell me if you find errors associated with the plugin in the dashboard/Elementor/System Info, section Log ?
      Second: try to disable other plugins and if the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of the problem.

      • Oh, that will be awesome! Your plugin gets better and better with every update! A little off-topic question – why is your plugin not in the WP repository? After all, it has long become one of the best alternatives to many similar add-ons for Elementor.

  8. Hi, I would like to ask about the Post Grid, I like that it displays all the posts in categories, but I want to ask if it’s possible that it displays the posts of a single author on each author page, like if the user visits an author page, the posts grid shows the author’s posts categorised. Do I need to use ACF for that? Thank you so much in advance for the help!

    Reply

    • Ana-Maria,
      To filter the posts grid by authors, you must edit the grid with Elementor, tab ‘Query filter/Queries’ field ‘Select authors’.
      Enter the author ID or select the dynamic tags ‘Post/Authors’ and select the author’s name from the list.
      You can then hide the filter under the ‘Content’ tab by deselecting the ‘Filters’ toggle.

      Make sure that in the “EAC Components” page of the admin panel under the “Advanced” tab, the “RSS Reader” option is enabled.
      In the editor you will find the component in ‘EAC Advanced’ section ‘RSS Reader’.

  14. This looks really good. How come I can’t search for your plugin on WordPress? This website seems to be the only place I can find you. You appear to have a great set of features, so I don’t understand why I can’t install directly from the plugins page.
    I tried searching “ELEMENTOR ADDON COMPONENTS” in the plugins page and also on WordPress website too but I cannot find you.
    Why is this?
    Thanks
    Ian

    Reply

    • Hello Ian,
      That’s right, the plugin is not available in the Worpress repository because we are not sufficiently sized to guarantee effective support.
      Despite everything, I can assure you that the plugin respects development standards (WPCS) and enhanced security.
      Once installed you can update the plugin to its new versions directly from the dashboard/Plugins.

  15. Hello! I just want to say thanks for this incredible project! It was almost everything I need! I just wanted to ask for a tiny feature request:
    On EAC Lottie Background I really need a way to stop the animation loop. Instead of it beeing repeated over and over, I need a way to run the animation only once and then stop it. I’m able to accomplish it on the lottie files player, so i think maybe it shouldn’t be much work.
    Thanks!

    • Hello Leonardo,
      Thanks for using our plugin.
      Lottie Background: regarding your request, an option will be added so that you can select Loop or Once mode in the next version 2.1.4 within a week.

  16. Hello, thank you for this incredible project!
    I just wanted to ask you about an issue I’m experiencing. I use an ACF relationship to display post objects inside the pages. It was working fine but after a recent update it broke. It is not possible to display the relational fields anymore.

    Do you know what is causing this bug? Is it gonna be fixed in a next update and is there any temporary remediation?

    Thank you for your help, have a nice day.
    Best regards

    Reply

    • Hello Hugo,
      Question: In the Elementor editor does the ACF relationship field you created appear in the list of relationship fields.
      However we have made multiple and important modifications for this new version.
      Unfortunately we did not accurately assess the non-regression of the version.
      I think you need to re-enable the component in each post.
      Sorry for the inconvenience.

  17. When updating from 2.1.4 to 2.1.5 all of my ACF Text fields are removed from my page templates and I can no longer add any ACF Text fields to the page as the ACF Text option is no longer present in the Dynamic Tags menu.

    Any idea what is going on here? Or how I might solve this quickly? For now, I am just avoiding the update.

    • Hello Aliandro,
      Sorry for the inconvenience.
      The images should display, there are no particular limitations.
      Please check that the Content/Featured image option is enabled.
      However, if you have a link to a staging server, please send it to me so that I can carry out some tests.

      • I just want to let you know that my problem has been resolved, and it turns out that the cause of the post grid image problem not being able to appear is because it is caused by the Litespeed cache plugin. I bring this to your attention because I appreciate your plugin with all my heart, I feel lucky to have known your plugin.

    Reply

    • Hi Rupresh,
      Firstly, is this after you’ve updated the plugin (v2.2.0)?
      Try to deactivate the ‘EAC components/Advanced/Image gallery’ widget and logout/login again.
      Finally can you send me back the log under Dashboard/Elementor/System info section ‘Log’ at the bottom of the page.
      Otherwise, if you’ve deactivated the plugin, it’s normal for the shortcodes to stop working.

    • Hello Paul,
      We have an issue with the ‘Image gallery’ widget.
      Activate the plugin and disable the ‘EAC components/Advanced/Image gallery’ widget. Log out/log back in.
      If the issue persists, send me back the log under Dashboard/Elementor/System info section ‘Log’ at the bottom of the page.
      The patch will be released tomorrow (v2.2.1).

  24. Hello,

    is this plugin legit?

    I mean it gives all pro functionality of elementor pro for free.
    How is that possible?

    If you are doing this for free, you are on of the best person alive.

    Reply

    • Hello and thank you for your compliments.
      This plugin is perfectly legit and legal in the sense that Elementor is an open system that provides all the interfaces needed to extend the plugin’s basic functionality.
      For example, to create a dynamic tag you can consult the Elementor developer documentation and implement your own tags.
      Why isn’t this plugin included in the Elementor repository? Good question and thank you for asking. I am the sole developer, tester and producer of the documentation. I also have to maintain and correct the issues, and there’s very little time left for me to respond effectively to all questions and requests for specific developments.

  25. I have been having an issue for several weeks where the WordPress backend admin dashboard for my site runs incredibly slow even though the site itself runs just fine. After troubleshooting, I’ve determined the problem is EAC as deactivating the plugin solves the problem, and it reappears as soon as I reinstall it. I’ve tried reinstalling EAC, installing the previous version (2.3.1), and rolling back Elementor to the latest tested version (3.27.6). Additionally, I’ve tried disabling all the components. Nothing works.

    Reply

    • Hello Christian,
      Sorry for the issue you are facing
      To date, we haven’t recorded any problems concerning the overloading of a backend site.
      – However, in the plugin settings page (EAC components), you can deactivate components and features that will not be used.
      – In the Elementor/System info page, Log section, check for any traces related to our plugin.
      – Finally, you can check your Elementor requirements on this page, and if you don’t see any improvement, other plugins such as Essential or Premium addon may satisfy your needs.
      Sincerely

  26. I’m having the same problem as Christian. My WordPress admin is super slow, but the frontend runs perfectly fine. The problem goes away when I deactivate the EAC.
