Elementor ruined a previously simple admin experience
-
This new admin UI is a serious downgrade. It looks bloated, wastes space, hides basic navigation behind accordion sections, and makes everyday tasks slower for no good reason.
Before this change, Elementor’s admin menu was fast, simple, and practical. Now it feels like style was forced over usability. People who actually work inside WordPress every day do not need oversized sections, extra clicks, and empty space. They need speed, clarity, and direct access.
This redesign is not an improvement. It is worse in real use. It breaks the workflow that many users were already comfortable with and replaces it with a cluttered, awkward layout that feels out of touch with how professionals use WordPress.
Please stop redesigning working interfaces just to make them look “modern.” Give users the old compact navigation back, or at minimum provide a toggle between the classic layout and this new one.
Right now, this change feels unnecessary, badly thought out, and frustrating to use.
