STruggling to understand how to add products efficiently

Hello @Quintus,

We have reviewed your request. Since you would like to display different details for each product, you can use the Dynamic Tags functionality in the text editor widget or any other text-content widgets: https://prnt.sc/GBJJchF1Yqcc.

We also recommend installing the Advanced Custom Fields plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/), which is fully compatible with Elementor. This plugin allows you to create various settings and fields for your products that can be displayed using the previously mentioned Dynamic Tags. For more information, please visit: https://elementor.com/help/elementor-acf/.

Hello @Quintus,

You cannot modify the template content using elements from your single product page because it inherits its layout from the builder template (all elements such as gallery, add to cart, tabs are placed in such locations that are shown across all products): https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/xstore-builders/xstore-single-product-builder-with-elementor/.

Therefore, we suggest using the ACF plugin to configure custom fields for your single products. This will allow you to modify the content from the backend for each product and include a “placeholder” element once in your single product template to set the location of such content across all single products pages but display different content inside the widget based on the content configured specially on each product backend.

We can assist you with the basic configuration of this solution. Please provide us with temporary wp-admin access and the URL of the product you would like us to use as an example.

Best regards,

Hello @Quintus,

We have installed the ACF plugin and created two custom fields: https://prnt.sc/BrfAMUFORgDH

In the backend of several products, we have set the following content:
– https://prnt.sc/51tDu7kS8xRf – first product
– https://prnt.sc/-vQk2iIomnP5 – another product

In the Single Product Builder, we added the following widget:
– https://prnt.sc/YJwYFlRrgn6e
– https://prnt.sc/KQu9Xq-Dtfkj

Example products:
– https://www.thekaroodeli.co.za/product/karoo-lamb-rib/
– https://www.thekaroodeli.co.za/product/karoo-lamb-loin-chops/

Please note that the Dynamic Tags feature is currently not supported in your Elementor PRO plugin due to license limitations. Therefore, we have temporarily deactivated this plugin and enabled the free alternative, PRO Elements, where this feature is available by default.

If you would like to continue using the original Elementor PRO version, please ensure that your license supports the Dynamic Tags feature.

Best regards,

Hello @Quintus,

Thank you for your message. We are glad to hear that the current product layout works well for you. As we previously mentioned the PRO Elements plugin has most of Elementor PRO features so you will not lose anything with Elementor PRO disabled and PRO Elements active.

If you notice any unexpected changes after disabling it, please let us know and we will be happy to assist you further.

Best Regards,
