CSS Grid is not syncing with Elementor in Editor view

Hello Sebastian,

I hope you are alright mate. I am having this issue with the latest (wordpress, ele, MT versions).

There used to be Elementor column row but I think they have removed it so I am targeting widget-wrap.

The CSS grid when viewed inside Elementor doesn’t match with the one in Microthemer, even if you load Elementor within Microthemer.

Thanks man

Hey,

I’m very well thanks!

This could be a bit tricky if Elementor now uses a different HTML structure on the frontend/editor for rows and columns. This would make custom CSS in general harder, not just when using Microthemer. They may get some kickback on that change. But I couldn’t see an example of it when I just did some tests using the latest free version. What Elementor modules have you used to build your content?

If you could send me a link to the page you’re working on that would be helpful.

Cheers,
Sebastian

Hey Sebastian,

It’s literally a section with headings and an image placed in it, nothing complicated at all. Unrelated question, if you have to pick a visual builder which one would you pick? Oxygen, bricks to other based on compatibility with MT.

I am so over elementor, every time I I try to do just a little more in terms of design, I have to jump several hoops to achieve it

Regarding the issue, I was avoiding divception by having all elements in container and applying it on widget wrap hence the issues.

If I make a column for each widget then apply the grid on elementor-container it seems to be behaving ok. but you will end up with as many columns as widget but thats how it is


Sebastian

Ah, I see it now. Grid rows and columns work as usual, but positioning items within the grid doesn’t work properly when Elementor is active. This is because the live editor inserts a div with the class “elementor-background-overlay” as the first child. This throws off the nth-child selectors Microthemer uses for positioning grid items.

From inspecting comments in Elementor’s code, it looks like they changed the structure of the HTML in version 3. Unfortunately I can’t think of a better workaround that your column approach right now.

Regarding MT compatibility, the integration with Oxygen is still the most recent. I will add integration with Bricks, but I’m waiting for them to fix some divception issues with container elements. This might be fully sorted in version 1.4, or a version soon after. I think Bricks could be the winner once it’s been developed a little bit more.

Cheers,
Sebastian

Hey Sebastian,

Yeah I agree, heard good stuff about Bricks and I reckon it has good potential. I will give them both a red hot go.

Thanks and keep up the great work with MT


Sebastian

You’re welcome!

P.S. I guess you solved the id issue (which you’ve now removed from you last reply) by setting it on the container?

I had to use two css grids on a single page, so when I targeted the .elementor-column-gap-default worked.

One thing I have to check out if ooh bois plugin removes the Elementor-row because I tried the same thing on local wordpress without Oohbois plugin and I can see the elementor-row class which works 100%


danishc

Ok so upon checking, CSS grid seems to be working fine where you have
<section>
<columns>
in that case you can use elementor-row and it will work just fine.

In the instance where you would need a complicated design

Section
Container/colum
innersetion

In that case I can find the elementor-row class, I had to then apply the class on .elementor-column-gap-default

All I know is I will be moving on from elementor asap lol


Sebastian

Oh I see, thanks for sharing your trials. I’m glad you’ve found something that’s workable for now.
