Description
Type a heading once and it says the same thing on every page. A dynamic tag reads the value instead: the post title, the author’s name, the product price, an ACF field.
wowDevs Dynamic Tags adds 77 of them to the free Elementor editor. Click the dynamic icon on any text, link or image control and pick a source.
Every tag comes with the controls you actually need
- Fallback — what to show when the value is empty, so a missing excerpt never leaves a hole in the layout.
- Before and After — wrap the value in text without touching the widget:
Posted on,min read. - Word limit — trim long content to a set number of words.
- Current or specific — read the post being viewed, or search and select one particular post, term, user or product.
77 tags, in nine groups
Post — title, ID, slug, date, time, author, comments count, excerpt, content, terms, status, type, custom field, featured image.
Site — title, tagline, current date and time, request parameter, shortcode.
Archive — title, description, meta.
Term — ID, title, description, slug, count, meta.
User — user info, user meta, avatar.
Search — search query, results count.
URL — post, post terms, author, comments, featured image, post navigation, archive, site, term, user, login/logout, attachment.
Image — featured image, author avatar, custom field image, archive meta image, site logo, site icon, user avatar.
WooCommerce — product attribute, description, price, purchase note, rating, sale, shipping, SKU, stock, terms, title, type, product URLs, featured image, gallery image, term image.
ACF — text, URL, image, gallery, date and time fields.
Built to stay out of the way
- No front-end CSS or JavaScript. A dynamic tag renders inside someone else’s widget; it has no business adding a request to the page. The one script this plugin ships runs in the editor only.
- WooCommerce and ACF tags load only when those plugins are active. Nothing is registered for a site that does not use them.
- Works with free Elementor. Elementor Pro is not required.
- No duplicate registration. If another active plugin already provides these same tags, wowDevs Dynamic Tags steps aside and lets it, so a tag is never registered twice.
Screenshots

FAQ
-
Does this need Elementor Pro?
-
No. It works with free Elementor, version 3.5 or newer.
-
Will it slow my site down?
-
It adds no stylesheet and no front-end script. The only asset is an editor-only control, loaded while you are building.
-
They appear once WooCommerce or Advanced Custom Fields is active. Until then they are not registered at all.
-
Can I use a tag on a page built by another builder?
-
No. Dynamic tags are an Elementor feature and render inside Elementor widgets.
