Elementor Developers

# Add New Control

Elementor Core Intermediate

Elementor offers many built-in controls out of the box, but it also allows external developers to register new controls.

# Hooks

To do that we simply hook to the elementor/controls/register action which provides access to the controls manager as a parameter. Developers can use the manager to add new controls using the register() method with the controls instance.

# Registering Controls

To register new controls use the following code:

function register_new_controls( $controls_manager ) {

	require_once( __DIR__ . '/controls/control-1.php' );
	require_once( __DIR__ . '/controls/control-2.php' );

	$controls_manager->register( new \Elementor_Control_1() );
	$controls_manager->register( new \Elementor_Control_2() );

}
add_action( 'elementor/controls/register', 'register_new_controls' );

The manager registers new controls by accepting control instances. For more information about the control class, read about the control class structure.
