Elementor continues to push boundaries with its latest release, Version 3.19. Packed with a plethora of new features and enhancements, this update is set to revolutionize how users engage with their websites and collaborate with their teams.
From dynamic visitor experiences to enhanced collaboration tools and advanced spam protection, Elementor 3.19 offers a comprehensive suite of functionalities designed to elevate your website-building experience.
Let's dive into the highlights of what this groundbreaking update has to offer.
Display Conditions
One of the most highly anticipated features introduced in Elementor 3.19 is the Display Conditions functionality. This feature empowers users to create personalized and dynamic visitor experiences by displaying elements based on various conditions and parameters.

These conditions encompass factors such as the timing and date of the visit, the identity of the visitor, and the specific type of page being accessed. Users can layer multiple conditions onto any element and interlink them using the "AND" logic, ensuring that the element is only visible to visitors when all conditions align simultaneously.
For instance, envision a scenario where a weekend sale promotion is underway. Users can opt to showcase a marketing banner exclusively on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays by setting the condition for "Day of the week" to "Is" and selecting the desired days for displaying the banner.
Another application of display conditions involves making blog posts accessible only to subscribers. By creating a container that restricts visitor access to the post content, except for its title and excerpt, users can prompt non-subscribers to subscribe to access the full post.
By setting the display conditions of the subscription invitation container to "Role", "Is Not", and selecting the "Subscriber" option, only subscribers gain access to the full post, while non-subscribers encounter the subscription invitation container that blocks access to the blog content.
This feature is available across various Elementor Pro subscriptions, including Advanced, Expert, and Agency tiers, as well as all Elementor Hosting subscriptions.
Customizable Teammates & Widget Panels
This update enhances collaboration among team members and stakeholders by introducing role permissions within the Element Manager. This feature enables users to personalize the widgets displayed in each team member's Widget Panel based on their assigned role in the Role Manager. For instance, users can opt to exclude advanced widgets like the "Loop Grid" or any "WooCommerce" related widgets from the Widget Panel of team members designated as "Author." Consequently, the Widget Panel becomes more focused, showcasing only the relevant widgets for each role.
Unlike the method of disabling widgets using the Element Manager, adjusting a widget's role permissions does not affect the front end of the site or remove existing widgets from the canvas. While the widgets remain visible to visitors, users without permission for specific widgets cannot add them to the Editor.
Seamless Spam Protection
The newly integrated Akismet spam filter seamlessly works alongside the Form Builder, ensuring that your forms remain protected from spam submissions. Utilizing advanced AI technology, Akismet accurately detects spam with a remarkable 99.9% accuracy, all without requiring any additional actions from your site's visitors. This streamlined process not only enhances the user experience for visitors but also provides site managers with peace of mind.
By enabling the Akismet plugin, users can apply the spam filter to four different field types: "Name," "URL," "Email," and "Message." Once activated, suspected spam submissions are automatically filtered out, preventing them from appearing in the submissions page or being sent via email. This simplifies the task of managing legitimate messages from visitors, ensuring that important communications are not overlooked.
This feature is accessible to users with Advanced, Expert, and Agency Elementor Pro subscriptions, as well as all Elementor Hosting subscriptions.
AI-powered Container Generation
Elementor 3.19 also introduces the power of AI Containers in the Elementor template library, allowing users to generate content and style variations of professionally designed templates effortlessly. Whether you're seeking inspiration from websites across the web or looking to expand your template library, Elementor's AI capabilities make it easier than ever to create stunning website designs in minutes.
Additional Updates
Elementor 3.19 brings several enhancements to the user experience, starting with the Mega Menu Enhancement feature. Now, users can customize the dropdown indicator, tweaking its size, spacing, rotation, and color to better suit their website's design aesthetic. Additionally, the update introduces Additional Custom Units, expanding the range of available units like rem, em, vw, and more across all style controls in the Editor, providing greater flexibility in design customization.
Furthermore, Elementor 3.19 improves the editing process with the Editor Workflow Hints feature. This enhancement focuses on accessibility and SEO by offering hints directly in the editing panel when an image is missing an alt text, ensuring that websites are optimized for both user experience and search engine visibility.
Another notable addition is the Responsive Gradient Background feature, which allows users to adjust the location and angle settings of gradient backgrounds based on breakpoints, ensuring consistent and visually appealing designs across different screen sizes and devices.
Lastly, the update introduces JSON Upload Permissions, enabling users to set specific roles that can upload JSON files. This feature enhances security standards, particularly in collaborative website environments, by ensuring that only authorized users can upload files, thus safeguarding the integrity of the website's content and structure.
Wrapping Up
With these new features and enhancements, Elementor 3.19 is poised to revolutionize the way users create, collaborate, and protect their websites. Whether you're a seasoned web designer or just starting your journey, Elementor continues to empower users to bring their vision to life with ease and efficiency.
