What it does
Building a news homepage or a magazine-style blog section in Elementor usually means stacking generic post widgets and fighting with their styling. This addon gives you widgets made for that job. It requires Elementor and adds 3 widgets: News Layouts, Carousels and Classic grids. You drag one onto a page, pick from 11 news styles or 5 carousel styles, and set the number of columns, from 1 to 3, to match your page structure.
The plugin works with regular posts and custom post types, so it can display articles, reviews or any other content type your site uses. Sticky posts can be pinned to the top of a grid or carousel to keep lead stories in view. You can choose numeric, classic or Load More pagination, set colors per widget, and add motion from more than 200 animation effects. Layouts are responsive and retina ready, and the plugin ships with .po and .mo files for translation.
