FAQ

Can I use this with Elementor Free?

Yes! This plugin works with both Elementor Free and Elementor Pro.

Will templates update everywhere when I edit them?

Yes! Templates are dynamically rendered, so any changes you make will automatically appear everywhere the template is embedded.

Can I embed regular WordPress posts/pages?

Yes! While the plugin is designed for AEFE Templates, you can embed any post or page created with Elementor by using its ID in the shortcode.

Does this work with page builders other than Elementor?

The plugin is specifically designed for Elementor. For non-Elementor content, it will fall back to displaying the regular post content.

Can I use multiple conditions in one shortcode?

Yes! You can combine device, role, and post_type conditions in a single shortcode.
