Beta 6 UPDATED - PLEASE READ BELOW!

Elementors, here is the much awaited Elementor Pro 2.0 Beta!

This is the biggest release we have done since Elementor Pro launched, and we need your help now more than ever. We are launching this Pro beta, packed with new features, but there is still much work to be done.

It will take a while until all these features are released out of beta, meanwhile, we plan to make many tweaks, improvements and fixes, some of which rely on your feedback.

Elementor Pro v2.0 beta requires Elementor v2.0 active, otherwise, it won't work, so make sure you have both plugins active.

Let's go over all the amazing features lined up:

New Template Types

We added several new types of templates, all compatible with almost any theme.

The new template types are:

• Header
• Footer
• Single
• Archive

Each template has its own corresponding area in your WordPress website where it can be applied.

Template Display Conditions

Each template includes display conditions that determine where the template is applied. For example, if you create a header template and want to display it ONLY as the header of your single posts, you can do it easily. Simply set the conditions using our straightforward interface. These conditions determine exactly where your templates will be implemented.

Theme Compatibility

The entire functionality of this version has been verified for several popular themes, including:

• GeneratePress
• OceanWP
• AstraWordPress
• Default themes ( TwentyXX )
• And many more...

If you are a theme developer, you should use our detailed documentation regarding how to register a new location and manually integrate to our Locations API.

Dynamic Content

We added dynamic content capabilities to all our major widgets. This way, you can choose to display the widget title for the currently viewed page, instead of entering it manually.

The dynamic content tags include:

• Posts: URL, Title, Featured Image, Content, Excerpt, Meta, Date, Time, Terms, ID, Attached Files.
• Archive: Title, Description, Meta, URL.
• Author: Name, Profile Picture, BIO, Meta.
• Comments: URL, number of comments
• Site: Site Name, Site Tagline, Site URL.
• General: Current Date.

Eight New Dynamic Widgets

To make it easier to build your templates using any dynamic content (eg: post title, posts loop, etc… ), we created several new theme element widgets.

Among the new widgets:

• Post Title
• Post Excerpt
• Post Content
• Post Featured Image
• Post Info
• Archive Title
• Posts Archive
• Site Name
• Site Logo

Role Management

We added the option to allow “content only” editing mode for certain user roles. Content only mode means the user can only edit content and doesn't have access to style, design change layout or add content. This option is extremely useful when you design a website for a client and you don’t want him “mess up” the design and layout.

How to Install Beta Version

If you still haven't enabled beta testing in Elementor, please follow these steps:

1. Go to Elementor > Tools > Versions
2. Enable the beta tester feature
3. Go to Dashboard > Updates and update to the latest beta version.

This will get you testing the new Elementor Pro 2.0.0 Beta.

As we wrote above Elementor Pro v2.0 beta requires Elementor v2.0 active, otherwise, it won't work, so make sure you have both plugins active.

Stable release: April 9, 2018 (Estimated) April 16, 2018
