Editing product pages & archives with Elementor

Estimated reading time: 1 min

By default, these types of pages are not supported by Elementor. These pages are “auto-generated” by WordPress and don’t have “the_content” filter that offers the posibility of editing them with Elementor.

The current workarounds are:

LinkUse Elementor PRO’s Theme Builder

Elementor PRO has a powerful feature called Theme Builder which is able to override these types of pages entirely and maintain their query vars, to be compatible with other plugins and tools. More at https://elementor.com/blog/introducing-theme-builder/ .

LinkUse Rey’s Custom Templates feature

In v2.1 Rey has a new feature called Custom Templates. It offers the ability to target parts of the site and override their content with custom built Elementor content. This feature behaves pretty much the same as Elementor Pro’s Theme builder.

You can read more about them in the Custom Templates article.

LinkEditing parts of these kind of pages

LinkFor categories/archives, use Page covers global sections

Usually categories/archives contain a grid. It’s the most important part of the page. As a companion, you can use a Page Cover ( more here https://support.reytheme.com/kb/how-to-create-page-covers/ ) and offer the page a custom layout

LinkProduct pages description

By enabling Products as editable post types in Elementor settings eg: https://d.pr/i/FNHa2X , you will be able to insert Elementor elements into the product page’s description block eg: https://d.pr/i/WgueEA .

LinkProduct pages, insert After summary global sections

Rey has a pretty cool feature that allows inserting generic global sections into product pages after the product summary. They can be added via Customizer > WooCommerce > Product page – Content eg: https://d.pr/i/CFu5FZ .

They can also be overridden in the product’s individual settings eg: https://d.pr/i/KmJPo7 .
