Is Elementor Required?

Yes, Elementor is a required plugin for Monogram.

The theme relies on Elementor for several core features:

• Page building - creating and customizing page layouts visually

• 22 custom widgets - portfolio grids, testimonials, counters, FAQ accordions, globe visualization, and more

• Demo content - all demo pages are built with Elementor

• Template system - before-footer templates and portfolio after-templates use Elementor

#Without Elementor

If Elementor is not installed, you can still:

• Use basic WordPress pages with the block editor

• Create blog posts and portfolio items

• Use the Customizer for theme settings

However, you lose access to:

• All 22 custom Elementor widgets

• Demo page layouts and designs

• Visual page building capabilities

• Custom animations on Elementor sections

#Which Version?

Elementor Free is the minimum requirement. All 22 custom theme widgets work with the free version.

Elementor Pro adds additional features (theme builder, popup builder, WooCommerce widgets) but is not required for Monogram to function fully.
