Fast, lightweight Elementor widgets: Flip Box, Countdown, Post Grid, Pricing Table, Portfolio, Hotspots, Flip Book and more — free.

== Description ==

**Widgetora** adds 16 creative, performance-minded widgets to the Elementor page builder. Several of them are features that usually require a paid page-builder upgrade — here they are free.

Every widget loads its CSS and JavaScript **only on pages where it is used**, uses Elementor's native controls (responsive sliders, typography, borders, shadows, icons, dynamic tags), and can be switched off under **Settings → Widgetora Widgets**.

= Free widgets =

* **Animated Heading** – rotating words with slide, typewriter or fade animation.
* **Before / After Image** – drag or hover comparison slider, horizontal or vertical, keyboard accessible.
* **Countdown Timer** – boxed, circle or minimal styles; site, visitor-local or UTC time zone; expiry message or hide.
* **Filterable Portfolio** – image grid or masonry with automatic category filter buttons.
* **Flip Book 3D** – a realistic page-turning book of images or rich content, with arrows, page tabs, swipe and keyboard support.
* **Flip Box** – two-sided card that flips on hover or tap, in four directions.
* **Icon Box 3D** – icon box with pointer-driven 3D tilt, depth layers and glare.
* **Image Hotspots** – markers (icon, text or image) with hover/click tooltips and pulse animation.
* **Info Banner** – image + content promo banner with ribbon, hover effects and button.
* **Info Table** – header / body / footer information card.
* **Interactive Banner** – image banner that reveals content on hover (6 styles).
* **Logo Carousel** – client logo slider with grayscale-to-color hover, captions and links.
* **Post Grid** – query any post type; grid or masonry; three card presets; numbered pagination or AJAX "Load More".
* **Pricing Table** – plan card with features, sale price, ribbon (corner, flag, stripe) and featured state.
* **Team Member** – profile card with social links, four layouts and hover effects.
* **Testimonials** – slider or 12-column grid, 17 card styles and half-star ratings.

= Built for speed and accessibility =

* No external requests: every library is bundled locally (the page-flip engine is StPageFlip, MIT). Carousels use the Swiper library that ships with Elementor.
* Vanilla JavaScript — no jQuery plugins.
* Respects `prefers-reduced-motion`.
* Keyboard support and ARIA attributes on interactive widgets.

== Installation ==

1. Install and activate **Elementor** (version 3.5 or newer).
2. Upload the `widgetora-widgets-for-elementor` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the plugin from the WordPress plugin directory.
3. Activate **Widgetora Widgets for Elementor** from the Plugins screen.
4. Edit a page with Elementor and look for the **Widgetora** category in the widgets panel.
5. Optional: go to **Settings → Widgetora Widgets** to turn off widgets you don't need.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does Widgetora require Elementor Pro? =

No. Widgetora works with the free version of Elementor (3.5 or newer).

= Will it slow my site down? =

Each widget's CSS and JavaScript only load on pages that use that widget, and you can disable unused widgets entirely.

= Does the plugin make external requests or load files from a CDN? =

No. All assets are bundled with the plugin.

= How do I show two categories on one portfolio item? =

Separate categories with commas in the item's **Categories** field, for example `Web Design, Branding`.

= The Post Grid "Load More" button doesn't load anything in the editor. =

Load More reads the widget settings from the saved page, so save (or update) the page first. It works normally on the front end.

= Is Widgetora translation ready? =

Yes. A translation template is included in the `languages` folder.
