Elementor plugin conflict resolution

The Elementor plugin is a popular page builder plugin for WordPress that allows users to create custom layouts and designs for their website. However, conflicts can sometimes arise when using Elementor with other plugins or themes. In this case, you can use the following code snippet to resolve conflicts and ensure smooth integration with Elementor.

add_action( 'elementor/widgets/widgets_registered', 'wpsnippets_elementor_widget_conflict_resolution' );
function wpsnippets_elementor_widget_conflict_resolution() {
    if ( ! class_exists( 'Some_Class' ) ) {
        return;
    }

    // Add your conflict resolution code here

}

This code snippet uses the elementor/widgets/widgets_registered action hook to check if a specific class exists. If the class does not exist, it means that there is a conflict with another plugin or theme. You can then add your conflict resolution code within the conditional statement.

Replace 'Some_Class' with the class name that is causing the conflict. Inside the conditional statement, you can add any necessary code to resolve the conflict, such as deregistering conflicting scripts or styles, modifying Elementor’s behavior, or any other necessary adjustments.

This code snippet can be useful in situations where you are experiencing conflicts between Elementor and another plugin or theme. By using this code, you can ensure that Elementor works seamlessly with other components of your website.

Examples

Example 1: Dequeue Elementor styles and scripts

This use case demonstrates how to resolve a conflict between Elementor plugin and another plugin or theme that may cause styling or scripting issues on your WordPress site. By dequeuing Elementor styles and scripts, you can prevent conflicts and ensure smooth functioning of your site.

function wpsnippets_dequeue_elementor_styles_scripts() {
    if ( class_exists( 'ElementorPlugin' ) ) {
        wp_dequeue_style( 'elementor-frontend' );
        wp_dequeue_script( 'elementor-frontend' );
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpsnippets_dequeue_elementor_styles_scripts', 9999 );

This code example uses the wp_dequeue_style() and wp_dequeue_script() functions to remove the Elementor styles and scripts from being loaded on the front end of your site. The class_exists() function is used to check if the Elementor plugin is active before dequeuing the styles and scripts. The add_action() function is used to hook the wpsnippets_dequeue_elementor_styles_scripts function to the wp_enqueue_scripts action with a high priority of 9999.

Example 2: Disable Elementor default font loading

This use case demonstrates how to disable the default font loading functionality of Elementor plugin. By disabling the default font loading, you can prevent conflicts with other plugins or themes that may also load fonts, resulting in a more efficient and conflict-free site.

function wpsnippets_disable_elementor_default_fonts() {
    if ( class_exists( 'ElementorPlugin' ) ) {
        ElementorPlugin::$instance->frontend->enqueue_fonts();
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpsnippets_disable_elementor_default_fonts', 9999 );

This code example uses the enqueue_fonts() method of the Elementor plugin to disable the default font loading. The class_exists() function is used to check if the Elementor plugin is active before calling the enqueue_fonts() method. The add_action() function is used to hook the wpsnippets_disable_elementor_default_fonts function to the wp_enqueue_scripts action with a high priority of 9999.

Example 3: Disable Elementor editor on specific post types

This use case demonstrates how to disable the Elementor editor on specific post types. By disabling the Elementor editor on certain post types, you can prevent conflicts or unwanted behavior that may occur when using Elementor with certain custom post types.

function wpsnippets_disable_elementor_editor( $is_editable, $post_type ) {
    if ( in_array( $post_type, array( 'post', 'page' ) ) ) {
        $is_editable = false;
    }
    return $is_editable;
}
add_filter( 'elementor/editable', 'wpsnippets_disable_elementor_editor', 10, 2 );

This code example uses the elementor/editable filter to disable the Elementor editor on specific post types. The in_array() function is used to check if the current post type is in the array of post types where the Elementor editor should be disabled. The $is_editable parameter determines whether the editor is editable or not, and in this case, it is set to false for the specified post types. The add_filter() function is used to hook the wpsnippets_disable_elementor_editor function to the elementor/editable filter with a priority of 10 and 2 parameters.
