  1. I think this is completely reasonable and undesrstandable. On the other hand, this situation raises the need for some kind of Widget Manager more than ever before – even Elementor itself is starting to double it’s own widgets, not to mention other addons.

  2. Deprecated: Elementor\Scheme_Color is deprecated since version 2.8.0! Use Elementor\Core\Schemes\Color instead. in /var/www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5051
