    Hello,

    my question is about the xstore controls in elementor’s editor. see screenshot

    Is there a quick fix to move ALL xstore tabs below “layout”?

    I need the “layout” tab thousands of times but the xstore tabs sporadically. So every time I want to access “layout” I need to do another click. And with every change in widget I am back to where I was and have to click “layout” again. Honestly, it can drive one crazy! This seriously impedes the use of elementor! “Layout” is necessary for practically everything inside elementor.

    Please, help out

    Best regards
    Martin

    Hello @Martin,

    We would like to suggest the following workaround, which will place all XStore sections under the default Elementor sections: https://gyazo.com/6934c368884f69d8cff6edbf58733218.

    If you would like to implement this solution, please add the following code snippet to your child theme’s functions.php file (https://gyazo.com/e45becebb928a9418dcf6970b5e7f856):

    add_action( 'elementor/editor/before_enqueue_scripts', 'etheme_child_enqueue_editor_styles', 9999 );
    function etheme_child_enqueue_editor_styles() {
    	wp_add_inline_style( 'et-core-elementor-style', 'div#elementor-controls {
    	    display: flex;
    	    flex-wrap: wrap;
    	    flex-direction: column;
    	}
    
    	div#elementor-controls > .elementor-control[class*=etheme] {
    	    order: 2;
    	}');
    }

    Best regards,
