Configuring page settings in Elementor is an essential step in customizing the look, feel, and functionality of individual pages on your website. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Accessing Elementor Page Settings
- Open the WordPress dashboard.
- Go to Pages (or Posts) and select the page you want to edit.
- Click on the Edit with Elementor button to open the Elementor editor.
2. Access the Settings Panel
- In the Elementor editor, look at the bottom left corner of the screen.
- Click on the gear icon ⚙️ labeled Settings.
3. General Settings
Once in the page settings, you can adjust the following:
1. Page Layout
- Options:
- Default: Inherits your theme’s default layout.
- Elementor Canvas: Displays a blank canvas, removing the header, footer, and sidebar.
- Elementor Full Width: Keeps the header and footer but removes sidebars for a full-width content area.
- Default: Inherits your theme’s default layout.
- Choose the layout that fits your design needs.
2. Title Display
- Toggle the Hide Title option if you don’t want the page title to appear.
4. Style Settings
Some themes integrated with Elementor allow you to control basic styles:
- Background: Set a global background color or image for the page.
5. Advanced Settings
To configure additional settings, such as custom scripts or tracking codes:
- Scroll to the bottom of the page settings.
- Look for fields related to custom CSS or JavaScript (if enabled by your theme or plugins).
6. SEO and Metadata
If you’re using an SEO plugin (e.g., Yoast SEO or Rank Math), you’ll find additional SEO configuration options in the sidebar of the Elementor editor or the WordPress backend.
7. Preview and Publish
- Use the Preview Changes button to see how the page looks before saving.
- When satisfied, click Publish to save changes.
Key Tips:
- Responsive Design: Use the responsive mode (desktop, tablet, mobile) to tweak settings for different devices.
- Global Settings: For consistent styling across all pages, use Elementor’s global site settings instead of configuring individual page settings repeatedly.
- Save Templates: Save your design as a template if you plan to reuse it on other pages.
