# Addon Wrapper Example

Elementor Core Basic

Let’s create a wrapper for Elementor addons that incorporates everything we’ve learned so far -a file/folder structure, the basic header comments required for every WordPress plugin, namespaces, and compatibility checks.

# Folders Structure

The addon will have the following folder structure:

elementor-test-addon/
|
├─ includes/
|  |
|  ├─ controls/
|  |  ├─ control-1.php
|  |  └─ control-2.php
|  |
|  ├─ widgets/
|  |  ├─ widget-1.php
|  |  └─ widget-2.php
|  |
|  └─ plugin.php
|
└─ elementor-test-addon.php

# The Entire Code

The addon code should look as follows:

elementor-test-addon.php

<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: Elementor Test Addon
 * Description: Custom Elementor addon.
 * Plugin URI:  https://elementor.com/
 * Version:     1.0.0

 * Text Domain: elementor-test-addon
 *
 * Requires Plugins: elementor
 * Elementor tested up to: 3.20.0
 * Elementor Pro tested up to: 3.20.0
 */

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit; // Exit if accessed directly.
}

function elementor_test_addon() {

	// Load plugin file
	require_once( __DIR__ . '/includes/plugin.php' );

	// Run the plugin
	\Elementor_Test_Addon\Plugin::instance();

}
add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'elementor_test_addon' );
