Sentio Widgets for Elementor

Yes. This is an Elementor addon. Elementor must be installed and active. Elementor 3.20 or newer is recommended; tested up to 3.25.

Yes. Sentio widgets coexist with Elementor Pro and any other Elementor addon plugin. There is no conflict.

This LITE edition includes 53 free widgets and is what you get from WordPress.org. The PREMIUM edition (Sentio Addons for Elementor PREMIUM) adds 99 more widgets covering WooCommerce, The Events Calendar, Advanced Custom Fields, schedulers, payment buttons, advanced data visualization, and additional creative and hero widgets. PREMIUM is a separate paid plugin distributed at sentioaddons.com and is not available through WordPress.org.

The 99 PREMIUM widgets are visible as locked stubs in your Elementor widget panel so you can see what is available in the PREMIUM edition without leaving the editor. Locked widgets show a lock badge, cannot be dragged onto the canvas, and open an upsell card when clicked. They have no runtime effect on your site and never render any frontend output in the LITE edition.

The backlink toggle defaults to off in the LITE 2.0 edition. To verify or change it on a specific widget, edit the widget in Elementor, open the Advanced tab, and check the "Show Sentio backlink" toggle. The backlink only renders if the toggle is on for that widget instance.

The email field is optional. If you provide one, we may use it to notify you about important plugin updates such as security fixes or breaking changes; we do not send marketing email through this channel. You can use the plugin fully without providing an email — leave the field blank, or skip the welcome screen entirely with the Skip button.

Yes. You can activate the plugin per-site or network-wide. Telemetry consent and welcome flow are per-site.

Yes. All UI strings use the sentio-widgets-for-elementor text domain. Translation files (.po / .mo) auto-load from WordPress's standard translations directory at wp-content/languages/plugins/.

Open a thread in the WordPress.org plugin support forum, or email support@sentioaddons.com with steps to reproduce.

Only if you opt in at activation. The welcome screen presents a clear consent toggle (default checked, but you can uncheck it before saving) plus an optional email field. The exact data fields collected and the opt-out path are described in the External services section above. No data is sent before you grant consent.

Deactivate the plugin via Plugins → Installed Plugins, then click Delete. WordPress removes the plugin files. Settings stored in the wp_options table use the sentio_* prefix; if you want to fully purge the plugin's footprint, you can delete those options manually after uninstall.

No. Sentio uses per-widget asset loading: each widget's CSS and JavaScript load only on pages where that widget is actually placed. There is no global frontend bundle, so a page only ever downloads the code for the widgets it uses.

No. Every widget is configured visually in the Elementor editor with standard content and style controls. The optional Shortcode widget (and the PREMIUM Custom HTML widget) are there if you do want to drop in your own code.

Yes. Sentio widgets are standard Elementor widgets and work with any Elementor-compatible theme, including Hello Elementor, Astra, Divi, and most others. Requires Elementor 3.20 or newer.

Sentio is built lightweight and modular from the ground up. Instead of forcing one large CSS/JS bundle onto every page, each widget owns and loads only its own assets, and accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) is treated as a baseline requirement rather than an afterthought.
