## 

- The Plus Addons for Elementor hides a widget from the widget list and Elementor editor search when that widget is disabled in settings.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Why is my The Plus Addons for Elementor widget not showing in the Elementor editor search?**
A: A disabled widget will not appear in the widget list inside The Plus Addons for Elementor, and it also will not show up when you search for it in the Elementor editor. The usual fix is to enable that specific widget first, because the editor can only surface widgets that are turned on. In practice, this is the first thing to check before assuming the widget is broken or missing.

**Q: What should I check if a native Elementor Free or Pro widget is missing?**
A: If a native Elementor Free or Pro widget is missing from the editor, check whether it has been disabled in Element Manager. That matters because Element Manager is where you can inspect and manage Elementor’s native widgets, so a missing item may be turned off rather than absent. This is a different failure point from The Plus Addons widgets, so it helps narrow down the fix fast.

**Q: What is the difference between disabling a widget in The Plus Addons and disabling a native Elementor widget?**
A: Disabling a The Plus Addons for Elementor widget removes it from both the plugin’s widget list and the Elementor editor search. Disabling a native Elementor Free or Pro widget affects whether it appears in the editor at all, and Element Manager is the place to check that state. That split matters because each issue lives in a different manager.

**Q: Is Element Manager useful for managing Elementor native widgets?**
A: Element Manager is useful when you want to check whether an Elementor native widget is disabled and manage those widgets more cleanly. The page specifically calls out that it can help you inspect native Elementor Free and Pro widgets from inside the editor workflow. That makes it a practical second stop after checking The Plus Addons → Widgets for addon widgets.

**Q: What should I do first when a widget cannot be found in Elementor?**
A: Start by checking whether the widget is enabled in its own settings area, because disabled widgets are hidden from search results. For The Plus Addons for Elementor widgets, that means going to The Plus Addons → Widgets and turning on the toggle for the exact widget name. If it is a native Elementor Free or Pro widget instead, use Element Manager to see whether it has been disabled there.
