By default a Flip Box flips horizontally. Setting Flip Type to Vertical changes the flip axis.
This doc corrects a defect found in the previous version of this page – its call-to-action link pointed at the wrong widget (see the notice below).
For the full settings tour of the Flip Box widget, see How to Add a Flip Box 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.
Corrected in this update
This doc’s link to the Flip Box product page previously pointed at Image Cascading – a different widget – instead of Flip Box. That has been fixed below; if you bookmarked the old link, please use the corrected one on this page.

So you know exactly what has and has not been checked:
- The vertical flip effect itself was not confirmed on the front end in this pass – see the main Flip Box doc’s Limitations for why. Test it on your own published page before relying on it.
