Install and activate **Elementor**. 2. Download the latest **Elementor Enhancer** version from [**your Pine Digital account**](https://pinedigital.co/account/downloads). 3. **WordPress Dashboard → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin →** Elementor Enhancer 4. Activate **Elementgor Enhancer** ## Features ### **Sortable Template Columns** Key columns in the **Templates** table are now sortable, so you can locate and manage your templates more quickly. 2nd-level sorting allows you to do more fine-grained sorting of your templates. For example, you can first sort by template **Type** and then by **Instance**. When enabled, these key Elementor **Template** columns become sortable:
**Column** **Sort behavior**
**Type** Alphabetical by template type (page, section, header, etc.)
**Author** By template author
**Instances** By number of active display conditions (Elementor Pro)
### Coming Soon Bypass Elementor only allows users to bypass Coming Soon or Maintenance mode if they hold a particular role, which means they need to be logged in. **Elementor Enhancer gives you total flexibility and convenience when it comes to providing access to users, even if they're logged out.** #### **Preview Link** **Elementor Enhancer** provides a default preview link for browsing the site while it is locked to the public, and as the site owner, you can customize the link to make it even more secret. #### **IP Exclusion List** Site owners can specify user IP addresses so that those users can completely bypass Coming Soon/Maintenance mode without needing to enter a preview link into their browser. > [accordion] How do we get started? > > 1. Enable **Coming Soon** or **Maintenance Mode** in **Elementor → Settings** (General or Tools). > 2. **Pine Digital → Elementor Enhancer →** Turn on **Coming Soon Bypass** under **Elementor Coming Soon Bypass**. > 3. *(Optional)* Add your IP(s) under **Exclude IP Addresses** (one per line), using **Detected IP(s) for this request** if helpful, then click **Save Changes**. > 4. *(Optional)* If the site is behind a reverse proxy (Cloudflare, Kinsta, etc.), enable **Trust Proxy Headers** and click **Save Changes**. > 5. *(Optional)* Set a **Secret Code (Optional)** and click **Save Changes** so only the full preview link works; remove it later with **Stop Requiring a Secret Code on Preview Links** and **Save Changes**. > 6. Copy **Preview Link** and open it in the browser where you want to browse the live site (incognito works well for testing). > 7. When you’re done previewing, open **Stop Preview Link** (under **Technical Details**) in the same browser to end the session. > 8. After you first enable the toggle, reload the WordPress dashboard or visit the front-end once so bypass hooks register on the next request. > 9. Verify: visitors without bypass still see Coming Soon; after the preview link (and secret, if set), you see the normal site. Purge or adjust cache if the locked page still shows for everyone. > [accordion] What if the Coming Soon/Maintenance Mode page still appears? > > Your host or caching plugin may be serving a saved copy of the page. **Clear all levels of caching (CDN, server, plugin, etc.) and then open the preview link again.** > [accordion] When might we need to enable Trust Proxy Headers? > > This setting says to also consider X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, and CF-Connecting-IP when matching the IP allowlist. > > **Leave off unless a trusted reverse proxy or CDN (e.g., Cloudflare, Nginx in front of WordPress) sets these headers; otherwise, an attacker can spoof the headers and bypass the IP allowlist.** ### Dynamic Rotating Carousel Carousels are a great way to display different content in a small space, but Elementor always shows slide one by default. **Elementor Enhancer displays a different slide on every page load, so visitors don't always see the same content.** > [accordion] What are the requirements? > > * **Elementor Enhancer** with **Dynamic Rotating Carousel** enabled > * **Elementor Pro** Carousel Widget > [accordion] How do we get started? > > 1. **Pine Digital → Elementor Enhancer → Dynamic Rotating Carousel →** Enable > 2. Edit a page with Elementor, then add and select the **Carousel** widget > 3. Open **Advanced**, then **CSS Classes**, and add **pd-dynamic-carousel** > 4. Publish > 5. View the live page, refresh it, and verify the starting slide changes on each refresh > [accordion] Do all visitors see the same starting slide? > > No. Each visitor gets their own rotation. When someone reloads the page, they move to the next slide in the carousel. Another visitor on the same page can be on a different slide at the same time. Clearing browsing data or using a different device starts that person’s sequence over from the beginning. ### **Newsletter Opt-In Field** Adds a Newsletter Opt-In checkbox to Elementor Pro forms. If the visitor checks it and submits, their email is subscribed in FluentCRM and added to the lists and tags configured on that field. > [accordion] How do we get started? > > 1. **Pine Digital → Elementor Enhancer** > 2. **Newsletter Opt-In Field →** Enable > 3. Edit a page in Elementor and add a form widget (v3 or v4 Atomic) > * **v3 Form:** In the Form Fields tab, add the **Newsletter Opt-In** field, and edit it to set the label, FluentCRM Lists, FluentCRM Tags, and any other options you need. > * **v4 Atomic Form:** Add the **Newsletter Opt-In** widget near the form, and edit it to set the label, FluentCRM Lists, FluentCRM Tags, and any other options you need. > 4. Save > 5. Test form submissions with the \*\*Newsletter Opt-In \*\*box checked. This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
