The Advanced Buttons widget adds a styled call-to-action button to any Elementor page, with a set of ready-made animated styles.
This widget can also work as a Download button – covered in its own doc, linked below.
For the full settings tour of the Advanced Buttons widget, see How to Add Advanced Buttons in Elementor.
Requirement – This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.
Before You Start
- Prerequisite: Elementor (free) installed and active.
- Widget to enable: go to The Plus Addons > Widgets, search for Advanced Buttons and turn its toggle on.
Steps
- Add the Advanced Buttons widget to your page from the Elementor panel.
- Under Button Type, choose CTA (the default) to build a plain call-to-action link, or Download for a file-download button (see the separate Download Button doc).
- Pick a Style from the dropdown – each one is a distinct animated look.
- Set the Button Text that appears on the button (default Read More).
- Add a destination under Link, then Update the page.
Settings Overview
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Button Type | Switches the widget between a CTA link button and a Download button. | CTA |
| Style | Picks one of the animated button presets (separate lists for CTA and Download). | Style 1 |
| Button Text | The text shown on the button. | Read More |
Limitations
- The available Style presets are different for CTA and Download button types – switching Button Type resets which styles are on offer.
Troubleshooting
The button doesn’t animate on hover
Confirm you are testing on the published page, not the editor preview – some of the style animations only trigger on real mouse hover, which the editor’s own preview does not always reproduce reliably.
Not verified
So you know exactly what has and has not been checked:
- The full list of CTA and Download style presets (only the default of each was captured).
- Free vs Pro control split – not diffed in this pass.
- Mobile rendering of the button styles.
