    The Pro version of this plugin has solved the problem you will still face using the Elementor Pagebuilder and using BG images on mobile and tablet. The free version only shows a BG image global but in the paid version you can choose a certain page or post. Also, the slider function works great within Elementor. I have run into an error CSS prompt message working in Elementor (Chrome and Firefox browser, not in Safari on a Mac) so I have sent a support ticket and got a quick reply from the developer. They took a look at the admin of the side and it was a simple fix. It was a setting in the plugin settings page –> Troubleshooter should be turned off. Problem solved and I would like to thank the support of this great plugin for their help. Sometimes a solution to a problem is in front of your eyes. Great plugin, great support, and the yearly subscription prize is worth the money. This topic was modified 3 years, 11 months ago by janportfolio01.

    I LOVE the plugin but have sent Contact Us messages twice with no response. My question is account related. I don’t want to post details here; actually I shouldn’t have to use the review section at all but I cannot find any other contact method. Please respond to my Contact form request. Thank you in advance!

    Installed this plugin on a new WordPress (recent WP version) install and I see the Fullscreen BG image link in the Appearance menu and when I click on it asks me to Choose Image which I do, then I click the blue Save Options button but NOTHING happens.
