If you’re experiencing an “Unauthorized Access” error or notice that content is missing when copying demos of the following widgets:
- Carousel Anything
- Tabs/Tours
- Accordion
- Switcher
- Nav Menu
- Horizontal Scroll
Don’t worry — this guide will help you fix it step by step.
Step 1: Understand the Cause
These widgets use template-based content, meaning the main content (like slides, tabs, accordion items) is not directly inside the widget but is pulled from Elementor Templates.
When copying the demo, only the widget gets copied, not the connected templates, which results in:
- Unauthorized Access error, or
- Widget loading without content
Step 2: Locate the Linked Template
Each widget has a connected template that contains the actual content.
To find and copy the missing content:
- Look for the template section in the demo (usually below or near the widget).
- You’ll see a green “Copy” button on the template.
Note: If the copy button is red, it copies the widget. If it’s green, it copies the inner template.
- Copy the template just like you copy the widget.
Step 3: Create a Template on Your Site
In your WordPress dashboard:
- Navigate to Templates > Saved Templates > Add New Template.
- Select the template type (e.g., Section or Container).
- Paste the copied content from Step 2 into the editor.
Note : If there are multiple slides in the demo, you’ll need to create multiple templates and paste each content block accordingly.
- Click the Publish button to save your template.
Step 4: Reconnect the Template with the Widget
Now, go to the page where you pasted the widget:
- Click Edit with Elementor.
- Select the widget (e.g., Carousel Anything, Tabs, etc.).
- Locate the Select Template option.
- Choose the template you just created.
- Click the Publish button to save your changes.
Your widget should now display the correct content.
Step 5: Repeat for All Affected Widgets
Repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4 for every widget that shows an error or is missing content.
Each widget might have a different template linked, so make sure to:
- Copy each required template
- Create a separate saved template on your site
- Link each one correctly
