codeSelector.

Description

Generating UI components with AI takes 30 seconds. Editing them inside Elementor used to take 30 minutes.

When you generate a hero section, pricing table, or bento grid in ChatGPT, Claude, v0, Bolt, Lovable, or Cursor, pasting 1,500 lines of raw HTML and CSS into a standard custom HTML widget creates a maintenance nightmare. Finding a single heading to fix a typo or swapping an image URL requires endless Ctrl+F scrolling—and generic AI CSS classes (h1, button, .card, .container) often break your WordPress theme layout.

codeSelector. by Marketincode solves this forever. It is the missing bidirectional Visual-to-Code Bridge built specifically for Elementor designers, developers, and AI builders.

How It Works in 3 Simple Steps

1. Paste Your AI Code: Drag the codeSelector. widget onto any Elementor page and paste your HTML/CSS snippet.
2. 1-Click Visual-to-Code Jump: Click any element on the visual canvas—a badge, button, paragraph, or card—and the Ace code editor jumps in < 5 ms to its exact HTML line, highlighting the block. You can also double-click any line in the code editor to scroll the visual preview straight to that element.
3. Double-Click Live Inline Editing: Double-click any text or image directly on the Elementor preview canvas to rewrite copy in place or select a new photo from the WordPress Media Library. Your changes are automatically encoded and synced back into the exact line of HTML code.

Free Features (Included in WordPress.org Edition)

• Bidirectional Visual ⟷ Code Sync: Click any visual element to highlight its exact HTML line in Ace Editor, or double-click a code line to locate it visually on the canvas.
• Live Inline Text Editing (2x Click): Double-click headings, paragraphs, buttons, list items, or badges to edit text directly on screen with exact character caret placement (caretRangeFromPoint) and multiline preservation.
• 1-Click & 2x-Click Image Replacement: Click any <img> on canvas to open the floating Image Inspector. Pick a replacement photo directly from the WordPress Media Library, paste a custom URL, and edit SEO alt text with instant code synchronization.
• Enhanced Ace Code Editor: Syntax-highlighted editor with active line pills, automatic scrolling, and real-time preview rendering.
• 0 KB Frontend Overhead: All bridge scripts and editor styles load exclusively inside the Elementor editor. Your public website visitors receive pure, clean HTML/CSS with zero extra JavaScript or performance penalty on Core Web Vitals.
• Hardened Native Security (wp_kses): Custom extended whitelist supporting modern HTML5 semantics, SVG icons, Flexbox, CSS Grid, CSS custom properties (--var), clamp(), and calc() while stripping unauthorized scripts, iframes, and XSS event handlers.
• Multilingual Ready (i18n): Fully localized interface available in English, Spanish (es_ES, es_MX), French (fr_FR), German (de_DE), Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR), and Italian (it_IT).

Pro Features (For Agencies, Freelancers & Power Users)

Unlock the full professional workflow with codeSelector. Pro:

• Recursive CSS Auto-Scoping: Automatically prefixes all <style> rules under the unique widget container ([data-codeselector-id]), intelligently handling :root, body, html, nested @media queries, @supports, and preserving @keyframes names. Generic AI styles never bleed into your header, footer, or other Elementor sections.
• Alt + Click Direct CSS Rule Jump: Hold Alt and click any element on the canvas to jump directly to the CSS selector that styles it inside your <style> block.
• Ctrl / Cmd + Click JavaScript Jump: Hold Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) and click an interactive element to jump straight to its event listener or animation logic inside <script>.
• Safe Inline <script> Execution: Enable interactive JavaScript for custom sliders, tabs, accordions, countdowns, and micro-animations (strictly validated against the content author’s unfiltered_html capability while blocking external src scripts).
• Carousel & Gallery Slide Inspector: Automatically detects multi-slide carousels and image grids, allowing you to switch between hidden slides and replace individual slide images from a unified thumbnail strip.
• Live Link (href) Editing: When editing a link or button inline, a floating href input appears so you can update destination URLs or anchor tags on the fly.
• Quick Section Navigator: A smart dropdown in the Elementor panel that indexes your <style> blocks, HTML comments (<!-- 01. Hero -->), <h1>/<h2> headings, and <script> sections for 1-click navigation in large files.
