Elementor v4 is a DISASTER
by VisedFAQ·2 days ago

I truly can’t comprehend and wrap my head around the fact that you pushed such a half-baked alpha version of a product to production and called it a day. So many bugs, so many features missing, communication is almost non-existent (looking at your GitHub page) – this is a very bad look for the overall Elementor product. I don’t know if you did this to please investors or meet some quota, but this is one of the worst product launches I’ve ever experienced. This should have been delayed for 6-9 months at minimum so it can be at least on par with v3, currently it’s worse than v3 in every possible way.

I am currently staying on v3 but considering switching to Bricks, because their team at least takes their product serious and test the new versions rigorously before releasing into public.

If I could give it zero I would
by tenerifebear·2 days ago

Once again the company have given little credence to long standing customers. I have been with them from near the start. I have the Elementor Pro – Expert Subscritpion with 1000 sites.
So Elementor bring out a “new” product, which it isn’t its an update, with shady claims, “Beta” versions that seemingly are, unlike ANY other company I have ever dealt with, Not beta, but a finished article etc, and what do they give long standing customers? What offers do they give to upgrade to “Elementor One”? Nada, nothing, zilch.
Between their working practices, very poor customer support and now having to learn a new system, anyway, I will be making the move to Bricks.
Why would ANY COMPANY, or at least any company with ethics etc, do this to a long standing and loyal group of customers?
Bye, Bye, elementor!!!

Easy & Powerful

Been using this for a while, super easy to build pages without coding. UI feels smooth n flexible. Saved me a lot of time tbh. tnx Elementor for making things this simple 👍

Almost everything is fine

Maybe I’m new to this and haven’t quite figured it all out yet, but I like everything—though sometimes the data doesn’t always save after I publish.

It’s just too slow and clunky for 2026.
by karlsimmer·6 days ago·1 reply

It used to be great and I think it still is a great tool. But it has always been and probably will always be too slow. Using it just gets me triggered. I always try to follow the best practises, few plugins, reusable and repeated layouts, everything is minimal. Currently I have one Elementor page, 4 active plugins and 14 Elementor sections. Inside those sections I’m using Grids and more sections, but only as much as I need for my layout.

I get blank screens, lag… How is this sustainable?
