Elementor is a visual-editor plugin that allows users to create dynamic pages efficiently.

However, Elementor should only be used when it cannot be done on the default editor(Gatsby). Why we want to use Gatsby as much as possible is because it allows for a more uniform system, and less dependency on plug-ins as well as creating a more open-source website.

Examples when to use Elementor include when content has widgets, customized cards, buttons, etc.

If you mistakenly use the Elementor editor when it is not necessary, here are the steps to fix it:

  1. Click on the Edit with Elementor button.
  2. Copy the content.
  3. Delete the content.
  4. Paste on the built-in editor.
