The Timeline widget lays out a series of events, milestones or steps along a vertical or horizontal line, each one a “pin” with its own content.
It is a Pro-only widget of The Plus Addons for Elementor.

How to Add an Elementor Timeline
Add the Timeline widget to the page. Each entry in the Content repeater is one pin:
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Pin Title | The heading text for this pin. | – |
| Content Type | Choose what the pin shows: Image, Iframe/HTML or Template. | Image |
| Featured Image | Shown when Content Type is Image. | – |
| Link | An optional URL the pin points to. | – |
| Display Button + Button Text | Add a clickable button to the pin. | Off |
How It Behaves
We built a timeline with several pins – one per Content Type – and published the page.
- Each pin renders with its title and, for Image content, the chosen picture.
- The Content Type switch genuinely changes what the pin shows – see the dedicated docs on Iframe content, using a Template, and adding a Button for what we confirmed on each.
Limitations
- We tested one pin per Content Type on a single timeline; a very large number of pins was not load-tested.
A pin’s image doesn’t show
Check Content Type is actually set to Image for that pin – the Featured Image field is hidden unless it is.
Not verified
So you know exactly what has and has not been checked:
- Behaviour with a very large number of pins.
- The Loop Pin Style, Title Style and other Style-tab appearance sections beyond what the default look shows.
