You manage the website. Your client manages the content.<\/strong><\/p>\n\nAdministrators always retain full access. Client and content roles can use the focused Editly workspace without automatically receiving access to the complete page-building environment.<\/p>\n\n
Help protect layouts from oversized copy<\/h4>\n\n
Accidental layout problems do not always come from deleting a section. Replacing a two-line heading with a paragraph can also affect a carefully designed page.<\/p>\n\n
Editly includes an optional text-length increase limit. It can restrict how much longer edited text may become compared with the original content, while still allowing useful changes.<\/p>\n\n
Clear third-party compatibility boundaries<\/h4>\n\n
Editly Free detects third-party widget text locally and shows administrators the associated providers. Supported native content remains editable while third-party content stays untouched. A contextual link explains how Editly Pro evaluates compatible third-party controls.<\/p>\n\n

Privacy<\/h3>\n\n
Editly stores edited content and settings in your WordPress database. No external telemetry service is used by this package.<\/p>\n\n
Data retention<\/h3>\n\n
Deactivation retains Editly settings. Permanent deletion through WordPress removes plugin-owned settings and runtime data without deleting Elementor page content.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n- Install Editly through the WordPress Plugins screen, or upload it to
\/wp-content\/plugins\/editly-for-elementor<\/code>.<\/li>\n- Activate Editly through the WordPress Plugins screen.<\/li>\n
- Open Editly from the WordPress admin menu.<\/li>\n
- Choose which roles can access Editly.<\/li>\n
- Select an Elementor page and start editing supported content.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
Elementor must be installed and active.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nDoes Editly replace Elementor?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Elementor remains the page builder used to create and design the website. Editly provides a separate interface for supported routine content updates.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does this plugin require Elementor?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Elementor 3.20.4 or newer must be installed and active.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Do my clients need to know how to use Elementor?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNot for content supported by Editly. They can update that content without navigating the Elementor builder. Administrators can also restrict access to the full Elementor editor for selected roles.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can clients break my Elementor layout?<\/h3><\/dt>\nEditly keeps Elementor's structure and design controls outside the routine editing workflow. Text can still affect a layout, so review important changes on the front end. The optional text-length limit can help control unusually large increases.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does Editly work with Elementor Pro?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Editly Free supports compatible text controls from native Elementor and Elementor Pro widgets.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What happens if a page contains third-party Elementor widgets?<\/h3><\/dt>\nEditly Free detects third-party widget text and identifies the associated providers in the interface. Supported native Elementor content remains editable, while third-party widget content is left unchanged.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How can I edit compatible third-party widgets?<\/h3><\/dt>\nEditly Pro's Universal Engine extends the editing workflow to compatible text controls from third-party widgets and add-ons without requiring a dedicated integration for every provider.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I choose who can use Editly?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Use Role access settings to choose which WordPress roles can use Editly and whether each allowed non-administrator role can still open the Elementor editor.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is Editly only for agencies?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. It also helps freelancers, site owners, and content teams separate routine content editing from full page-building access.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does Editly modify my Elementor design?<\/h3><\/dt>\nEditly targets supported content stored in Elementor widgets and preserves unrelated widget settings. Its workflow is designed around changing content rather than redesigning the page.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What happens on uninstall?<\/h3><\/dt>\nUninstall removes Editly settings, capabilities, cache markers, and runtime caches. It does not alter Elementor page content.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
