Ever wanted to add some custom functionality to your Elementor Pro-designed website? JavaScript is your friend! But where exactly do you put that code to make it work its magic?
Elementor Pro offers two main ways to add JavaScript:
1. Using the Custom HTML Widget (Free):
This is a great option for simple scripts or those specific to a particular page element. Here’s how:
Edit the Page in Elementor Pro: Open the page you want to add the script to and enter the Elementor editor.
Drag and Drop the HTML Widget: Find the “HTML” widget in the Elementor panel on the left and drag it to the desired location on your page.
Paste Your JavaScript Code: Click the edit button on the HTML widget and paste your JavaScript code wrapped in <script> tags within the editor.
Update and Check: Save your changes and preview the page to ensure the script functions correctly.
2. Leveraging Elementor Pro’s Custom Code Feature (Pro):
This method is ideal for site-wide scripts or those that need to be loaded in specific areas like the header or footer. Here’s the process:
Navigate to Elementor > Custom Code: In your WordPress dashboard, go to Elementor and then “Custom Code.”
Create a New Code Snippet: Click “Add New” and give your code a descriptive title.
Select Location and Priority: Choose where you want the script to load (header, footer, etc.) and set its priority (lower number means higher priority).
Paste Your JavaScript: Add your JavaScript code within the designated area.
Publish and Test: Publish your changes and test your website to ensure the script functions as intended.
Remember:
Always ensure your JavaScript code is properly formatted and free of errors.
For complex functionality, consider consulting a developer to ensure optimal implementation.
By following these steps, you can easily add your custom JavaScript to your Elementor Pro website and unlock new levels of interactivity and functionality!
