Elementor Custom Skin

Description

This plugin adds new skin to Elementor Page Builder Posts and Posts Archive widget.

You can design a loop item just like a single template and it would be used as a skin so you can be able to create a post grid the way you like.

All you have to do is to create a Custom Grid Template and place the Post Item Widget (placeholder) in your template made with sections and columns, and why not other widgets.

For a quick tutorial see Frequently Asked Questions!

Note: This plugin is an addon of Elementor Page Builder (https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/) and will only work with Elementor Page Builder installed.

Also check Elementor Custom Skin Pro!

I loved this plugin. However, it recently stopped working and they have not updated it in months. Now elementor offers their own loop functionality so I will switch to that.

As others have said, multiple bugs with no support. Purchased pro too and their is NO support/reply to emails. DO NOT TRUST.

This concept is genius, and should be part of the default Elementor page builder. THANK YOU for developing this.
