Additional Information
Data Storage
WidgetPilot For Elementor stores scanned widget data in two custom database tables. No data is sent to any external server — all scanning happens locally on your site.
Performance
Scanning runs only in wp-admin, on demand (Scan Now) or via a daily WP-Cron event. Nothing runs on the front end, so there is no impact on your site’s page load speed.
Compatibility
Detects Elementor core widgets, Elementor Pro widgets, and third-party addon widgets (e.g. Essential Addons, PowerPack, Jet Elements) as long as they register through Elementor’s standard widget system.
Installation
- Upload the
widgetpilot-for-elementorfolder to/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin from the Plugins screen.
- Go to Widget Manager in the admin sidebar.
- Click Scan Now to run the first scan.
FAQ
-
Does this work without Elementor?
-
No, Elementor must be installed and active for widget detection to work.
-
Will this slow down my site?
-
No. All scanning happens in wp-admin only, on demand or via a daily scheduled scan. Nothing runs on the front end.
-
Does it delete my data when I uninstall?
-
Only if you enable “Delete data on uninstall” in Settings. Otherwise your scan history stays in the database in case you reinstall.
