Adding a vertical divider in Elementor can enhance the layout of your design by visually separating content areas. While Elementor does not have a direct vertical divider widget, you can easily create one using some workarounds. Here’s how to do it:
Method 1: Using the Divider Widget
- Add a Column Layout
- In the Elementor editor, create a section with at least two columns (or more if needed).
- This provides space to place the vertical divider between content.
- Add the Divider Widget
- Drag the Divider widget into the section.
- By default, the divider is horizontal, but you can rotate it to make it vertical.
- Style the Divider
- Go to the Style tab.
- Width: Reduce the width (e.g., set it to 1 or 2 pixels).
- Height: Increase the height to make it extend vertically.
- Alignment: Adjust the position using the alignment tools to center it within the column.
- Color: Set the color of the divider to match your design.
- Go to the Style tab.
- Rotate the Divider
- Go to the Advanced tab.
- Under Custom CSS (Elementor Pro required), add this CSS:
transform: rotate(90deg);
- This turns the horizontal divider into a vertical one.
Method 2: Using Column Borders
- Set Up Columns
- Create a section with multiple columns.
- Add your content to each column as needed.
- Add a Border to the Column
- Click on the column where you want the vertical divider.
- Go to the Style or Advance tab.
- Under Border, set the Right Border (or Left Border) to a solid line.
- Border Width: Adjust to 1-2px for a thin line.
- Border Color: Choose a color that complements your design.
- Adjust Spacing
- Use Padding and Margin settings in the Advanced tab to create space around the divider.
Method 3: Using a Spacer Widget
- Add a Spacer Widget
- Drag the Spacer widget into the section.
- This acts as a blank space to create separation between columns.
- Customize the Spacer
- Reduce the Width to a very small size (e.g., 2px).
- Increase the Height to match your desired vertical length.
- Style the Spacer
- Go to the Style tab.
- Add a Background Color to make it appear as a solid vertical line.
Tips for Vertical Divider Design
- Alignment: Use the Vertical Align option in column settings to ensure the divider aligns well with the content.
- Responsiveness: Check the design in Mobile View and adjust spacing as needed.
- Advanced Options: If using Elementor Pro, you can use custom CSS for more flexibility in designing your divider.
