Description
TW Process Flow Timeline for Elementor adds a lightweight process timeline to Elementor. After activation it imports a ready-to-use template into the Elementor Template Library. You insert that template, keep the hook classes, and the plugin draws a vertical progress line as visitors scroll.
This is a genuinely free plugin. The template, the progress line, and the editor workflow are all included. There is no paid upgrade, no tracking, and no external service.
Why this plugin?
Elementor makes the process steps easy to design. The missing piece is a progress line that stays aligned with the real icons as the layout changes. Hard-coded pixel offsets break as soon as you add a step or change padding.
This plugin measures the first and last process icons and draws the line between them. A gray track fills with black up to the middle of the viewport as visitors scroll.

- No analytics, no telemetry, no remote requests
Security, Privacy & Accessibility
- CSS and JavaScript ship uncompressed so reviewers can inspect them
- The plugin does not collect, store, or transmit personal data
- Uninstalling the plugin stops the progress line. The Elementor template stays in your library so your layout is not deleted
- The progress line is marked
aria-hiddenso screen readers skip the decorative track
Requirements
This plugin requires the free Elementor plugin, version 3.16 or later. Elementor Pro is not required.
The bundled template uses Elementor Flexbox Containers. If Containers are disabled on an older site, enable them in Elementor Settings Features.
Source
JavaScript and CSS ship uncompressed and human-readable in assets/js and assets/css. There is no build step.
Usage
Keep these CSS classes if you customize the layout:
tw-pftfe-timelineon the timeline containertw-pftfe-iconon each step icon widget
The plugin injects the decorative line and loads its assets automatically.
You can change the look in the Elementor editor: card colors, text, buttons, and any other styling. You can also rewrite the wording and add or remove steps. The progress line follows the first and last icons automatically. It stays behind the icons and does not block clicks.
The plugin does not insert the template into existing pages automatically.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin require Elementor Pro?
-
No. It is designed to work with Elementor Free.
-
Does the plugin track visitors?
-
No.
-
Does it require an external service?
-
No. All assets are bundled with the plugin and load only on pages that use the timeline.
-
Can I customize the timeline?
-
Yes. Open the template in Elementor and change colors, text, buttons, and other styles to match your site. You can also add or remove steps. Keep the timeline and icon CSS classes so the progress line can find the layout.
-
Will activating the plugin again create duplicate templates?
-
No. The import is idempotent. If the imported template is later deleted, the plugin can recreate that bundled template once on a later activation.
-
Does deactivating or uninstalling the plugin delete my template?
-
No. The saved Elementor template stays on your site. After you delete the plugin, the progress line stops working because that feature belongs to the plugin. Your step layout and text remain so you can keep or edit the template.
