Migrating all my sites away – Slow & Unsafe
-
Elementor & Elementor Pro itself are very heavy & slow,
It is missing basic important features that can be found on different addons,
However, both are insecure (Many & often vulnerabilities’) & worst possible support level.
I find this company & representatives as arrogant & unpleasant.
Licensing system is not user friendly & it is very often needed to re-connect your license that is often denied.
I will not renew my current 1000 sites license & will recommend all my current customers to migrate from Elementor & off course all future sites will not be built using Elementor.
The plugin is not Gutenberg compatible & migration will be a hard work. It is like a virus slaving you to keep on using it.

@ahrale – Thanks for the info. I’ve been a software dev (not PHP!!!) for 30 years and I’ve never seen any company pushing updates like these guys do. I’ve also been tracking the diffs on the codebase and many of the updates are ridiculous (including one for a single line of code that should never have passed Q/A). The folks at Elementor don’t seem to understand that there is a risk that comes with any update (especially those with DB migrations). They simply don’t care, and have taken to offloading testing to their customers (even for the pro version) – a total disgrace! I was being generous by calling it “good”.
You can find my comments here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-with-absolutely-horrible-update-experience/
I’m definitely going to be voting with my wallet, and would never use a plugin with this update frequency!
Yes, fuzing(@fuzing),
It seems Elementor never had a QA & if they ever had, it expired or deprecated 🙂
The initial success went up their head & ever since they only care about money & not quality or users. Not only the updates are a big issue that have often resets,
Also the feature of contributing, allowing them to collect info has a default to allow them,
& about every week it resets from not allow to the default to let them collect info.
This is a pure fraud & manipulation & worth a group appeal to court for cheating!
Elementor are greedy & manipulators, making us pay them while being used as experimental testers & God knows what else.
I will never give them a chance again & recommends everyone for better alternatives.
