Beschreibung
Ele Conditions for Elementor turns static Elementor elements into interactive, context-aware components — without writing a single line of code.
There are two independent systems, both accessible from the Advanced tab of any widget, section, or container:
⚡ Triggers & Actions (client-side, no page reload)
Attach one or more trigger action pairs to any element.
10 trigger types:
- Click — user clicks the element
- Hover — user hovers over the element
- Delay on load — fires after X milliseconds from page load
- Scroll into view — fires once when the element enters the viewport
- Time on page — fires after X seconds the visitor has been on the page
- Exit intent — fires when the cursor moves toward closing the tab
- First visit — fires only on the visitor’s very first page load (localStorage)
- Nth visit — fires on the Nth page load (visit counter in localStorage)
- A/B Group A / B — fires for visitors randomly assigned to group A or B (persists via localStorage)
9 action types:
- Show — make the target element visible
- Hide — hide the target element
- Toggle — toggle visibility on each trigger
- Add / Remove / Toggle Class — apply a CSS class (great for CSS animations)
- Scroll To — smooth-scroll the page to the target element
- Focus — set browser focus on the target (input fields, etc.)
- Close Others in Group — hide all siblings sharing a CSS class (accordion pattern)
Target selector: leave empty to act on the element itself, or enter any CSS selector to act on another element anywhere on the page.
Hide Initially: a dedicated switcher that hides the element on load independently of triggers — useful for elements revealed by a trigger.
🎛 Display Conditions (server-side, evaluated at render time)
Show or hide elements based on variables, rules, and time windows. Multiple conditions per element with AND / OR logic.
Built-in variables include: user_role, is_logged_in, user_id, post_type, post_status, post_age_days, post_word_count, post_has_thumbnail, cart_count, cart_total, current_hour, current_day, current_month, current_year, utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_content, utm_term, and more.
Condition types:
- Simple — compare a variable to a value using ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=, contains, starts_with, ends_with, empty, not_empty
- Time interval — show element only between two times of day (supports cross-midnight ranges)
- Date/datetime interval — show element only within a date or datetime window
Custom variables — register your own variables via the eleconditions_vars filter in your theme’s functions.php.
ACF support — pick any ACF field from a searchable dropdown; the value is fetched at render time.
User meta — condition on any WordPress user meta key for the current visitor.
Debug mode — shows a red-bordered overlay with the evaluated variable values, visible only to editors and administrators.
Developer-friendly
- Zero dependencies beyond Elementor
- Fully filterable variable system
- No inline styles injected into saved content — everything is evaluated at render
Note: Requires the free Elementor plugin.
Screenshots

Triggers panel in Elementor Advanced tab — add a trigger with one click: choose trigger type (Click, Scroll into view, Exit intent…) and action (Show, Hide, Toggle, Add Class…). 
Multiple triggers on the same element — combine scroll_into_view show with exit_intent add_class for layered interactions. 
Display Conditions panel — variable comparison conditions with Variable, Operator, and Value; Debug mode toggle included.
Installation
- Install and activate Elementor.
- Upload the plugin through Plugins Add New Upload Plugin, or install directly from the WordPress.org directory.
- Activate Ele Conditions for Elementor.
- Open any widget, section, or container in Elementor Advanced tab look for Ele Conditions (display conditions) and Triggers (interactive triggers).
FAQ
-
Where do I find the Triggers panel?
-
Open any widget or section in Elementor, go to the Advanced tab, and scroll to the Triggers section.
-
Where do I find the Display Conditions panel?
-
Same Advanced tab, scroll to the Ele Conditions section — just above Triggers.
-
Can I trigger an action on a different element?
-
Yes. Enter a CSS selector in the Target field (e.g.
.my-popupor#hero-button). Leave it empty to target the element itself. -
How does A/B testing work?
-
On first page load the visitor is randomly assigned to group A or B. That assignment is saved in
localStorageand stays consistent across sessions. Use A/B Group A and A/B Group B triggers on different elements to show different content to each group. -
How do I add my own variables?
-
Add a filter in your theme’s
functions.php:add_filter( 'eleconditions_vars', function( $vars ) { $vars['my_var'] = 'some_value'; return $vars; } );Then select Custom in the variable dropdown and type
my_var. -
Does it work with Elementor containers (Flexbox)?
-
Yes — triggers and conditions work on widgets, sections, and containers.
-
Is there a performance impact?
-
Display conditions are evaluated server-side at render time — no JavaScript needed for them. The triggers script (
triggers.js) is a single lightweight IIFE loaded in the footer only when needed.
