Below are all the topics we have covered in this article.
Loop Builder in Elementor 3.8
As discussed above, Elementor Pro 3.8 marks the introduction of one of the most awaited features known as the Loop Builder.
Using this loop builder you will be able to create custom lists of pages, posts, products and more as per your needs.
Although the Loop Builder is a widget known as Loop Grid, however, it works slightly different than the other Elementor widgets.
We will discuss more on this a bit later in this article.
Before we learn more about the new Loop Builder, it is important to know that in Elementor Pro 3.8, this feature has been released as an Experiment.
And its status is Beta.
On top of this, the Loop Experiment comes disabled by default and to enable it you will have to activate it.
Apart from this, to use Loop Builder or the new Loop Grid widget, you will have to activate Flexbox Container experiment because it is a requirement.
Keep in mind, when you will enable Flexbox Container experiment in Elementor, Container widget will take the place of the inner section widget.
In other words, the inner section widget will be missing from the list of widgets in the Elementor editor and you will not be able to use it.
Having said that,
Once you are done activating both Flexbox Container and Loop experiment, you need to navigate to the Elementor editor.
And here you will find the Loop Grid widget under the Pro section.
It is important to know that there is another place where you will find the Loop Builder and that is the Theme Builder.
Here you will find under Site Parts with the name Loop Item.
This is where Loop Grid widget is different than the others.
When you drag and drop this widget, it will ask you to either select a template or create a new one.
The option to create will be visible on the Elementor canvas as well.
After reading this some of you must be thing why create a template for Loop Builder.
And the answer to this question is simple.
The new Elementor Loop Builder allows you to build custom lists / grids which are built using other widgets.
Hence, you will be creating a template that will be replicated the number of times you want it to loop.
To see this, click Create a Template and it will show you the option to drag widgets.
On the Elementor side panel or widget list you will see a few widgets under the Recommended section.
Depending on your needs, you can drag and drop the widgets, customize the parts and once done click Save and Back.
On clicking Save and Back, it will take you back to your post / page / template and will show you the loop that you have built.
Now, if you want to change the number of columns or items to be displayed then you will find the option under Layout.
As you can see in the screenshot above, the option to edit template is also available.
To change what’s being displayed or looped, you need to visit the Query tab where you will be able to select a Source using the dropdown and you will have 7 options
- Posts
- Pages
- Landing Pages
- Products
- Manual Selection
- Current Query
- Related
If you want to change the gap between rows and columns then you will find that under the Style tab.
Before we move to the next topic it is important to know that once you have built a loop, you will find it in the Theme Builder as well.
And there you will be able to
- Edit
- Export
- Delete
- Rename
