== Installation ==

1. Upload the `uxd-elementor-widgets` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate the plugin through **Plugins → Installed Plugins**.
3. Ensure **Elementor** (free) is installed and active.
4. Go to **UXD Widgets → Widgets Manager** to enable/disable individual widgets.
5. Open any page in the Elementor editor — all active UXD widgets appear under the **UXD Widgets** panel category.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this plugin work with Elementor Free? =
Yes. All widgets and the Theme Builder work with Elementor Free. Elementor Pro is not required.

= Can I disable widgets I don't need? =
Yes. Go to **UXD Widgets → Widgets Manager** and toggle any widget on or off. Disabled widgets are not loaded at all, keeping your site lean.

= Does the Theme Builder replace Elementor Pro's theme builder? =
Yes, for most use cases. The UXD Theme Builder lets you build custom header, footer, single, archive, 404, and search templates entirely within Elementor Free.

= Is WooCommerce required? =
No. WooCommerce widgets are automatically hidden if WooCommerce is not active. All other widgets work independently.

= Does it work with any theme? =
Yes. UXD Widgets for Elementor is theme-agnostic and works with Hello Elementor, Astra, GeneratePress, OceanWP, Blocksy, and any other WordPress theme.
