Hi @eddietohier
Thank you for reaching out and for your kind words about our plugin! 😊
I’ve just tested GW Elementor Addons on a clean WordPress installation with the latest versions of WordPress and Elementor, and I can confirm that all widgets appear as expected in the Elementor sidebar (the left panel) when editing a page.
To help us understand why they might not be showing up on your end, could you please provide a few more details?
Thank you!
Thank you for the quick response. To clarify, the widgets do appear in the sidebar when I’m editing. However, when I try to add a new widget, I cannot find the ‘GW Addons’ category/list in the Elementor Widget Tab. Interestingly, if I manually search for ‘button’, the button widget from GW appears in the search results. I’m not sure if this is a conflict with another plugin or a display issue in the panel. Any advice?

Hi again,
Thanks for the additional details. Unfortunately, we cannot reproduce the issue on our end; the “GW Addons” category displays normally in the widget panel.
Since the widgets appear when searching, this strongly suggests a conflict with another plugin or theme. Could you please try temporarily deactivating any other third-party plugins (especially other Elementor addons) to see if the category appears?
Let us know if that resolves it! This will help us identify the conflict.
Best regards,

Hi Kosmas,
Thank you for your response and for looking into this.
I wanted to update you that I managed to resolve the issue. Since I am using a custom wordpress backend built with Vue.js, there was a slight timing conflict during the initialization process.
After consulting with an AI assistant, I made a small adjustment to the Main Plugin Initialization. I updated the main plugin file gw-elementor-addons.php to initialize on the plugins_loaded hook instead of init.
Here is the change I applied:
- add_action( 'init' , array( 'GW_Elementor_Addons' , 'init' ) );
+ add_action( 'plugins_loaded' , array( 'GW_Elementor_Addons' , 'init' ) );
The plugin is now working perfectly, and the “GW Addons” category is visible in the widget panel as expected.
Once again, thank you for your support. I truly appreciate your hard work and the excellent design of this plugin!
Best regards,
