Biggest opportunity: Swap “addons”, “elementor” and “elementor addons” for “elementor news ticker”, “ticker” and “elementor timeline”. “addons” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “elementor news ticker” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “elementor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ticker” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “elementor addons” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “elementor timeline” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 3K of 98K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,264 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Seems like some folks had some issues a couple years ago but i had no issues at all in 2023, quite the opposite. I came across this add-on by mistake but it was meant to be. I had spent hours trying out plugins that don’t advise you what the limitations of the free version are, so you have to install them to find out. How frustrating. I’m donating my time to a social project which doesn’t have many resources so I have to stick to free options. I came for the timeline widget, which is awesome, and stayed for the other features too. I ended up ditching the most well known elementor addon packs because they were so limited and this did it all without the limitations. Support very fast and useful. To use videos in the timeline you just embed iframe code. Thanks!

I wasn’t going to leave this review but considering this plugin is designed specifically for Elementor I felt it necessary to do so. I’m using Elementor, obviously. I’ve spent three days trying to debug why when adding an entrance animation to a column or section resulted in that content not showing up at all on live pages. I’ve deleted sections, elements, and content one at a time to find the specific cause. Finally, I found the reasons why. It was the WPB CounterUp widget conflicting with Elementors entrance animations. I am sorely disappointed as this plugin has been made for Elementor, yet hasn’t be tested thoroughly. I can only wonder what other widgets within this plugin will potentially do to a site. This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by iscottjones.
