Add a Vertical Divider in Elementor

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.
  • 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.
