Elementor Compatibility with Themes

### 1. **Check Theme Compatibility**
Most modern themes are compatible with Elementor by default. However, to ensure smooth integration:
– Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to **Elementor > System Info**.
– Check if your theme is listed as compatible. If not, you may need to modify some theme files.

### 2. **Update Your Theme and Plugins**
Ensure your theme, WordPress core, and all plugins are up to date to prevent compatibility issues.

### 3. **Create a Blank Template**
Elementor works best with a blank or minimal page layout. If your theme doesn’t provide one, you can:
– Use Elementor's **Canvas** template (available under **Page Attributes** > **Template**).
– Alternatively, create a custom template with minimal styling:

<?php
     /* Template Name: Elementor Full Width */
     get_header(); ?>
     <div id="primary" class="content-area">
         <main id="main" class="site-main">
             <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                 <?php the_content(); ?>
             <?php endwhile; ?>
         </main>
     </div>
     <?php get_footer(); ?>

### 4. **Remove Conflicting Styles**
Your theme’s styles might conflict with Elementor. To resolve this:
– Disable unnecessary CSS or JS from your theme for pages using Elementor.
– Add this code in your theme’s `functions.php` to dequeue styles on Elementor pages:

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {
         if (is_singular() && ElementorPlugin::$instance->editor->is_edit_mode()) {
             wp_dequeue_style('your-theme-style-handle');
         }
     });

### 5. **Customize Global Settings**
– Go to **Elementor > Settings > Style** and configure global fonts and colors to match your theme or override them using Elementor.

### 6. **Edit with Elementor**
– Create a new page, and click **Edit with Elementor**.
– Use Elementor widgets to design the page. If some elements (e.g., headers or footers) are not editable, you may need to create them as custom Elementor templates (requires Elementor Pro for full functionality).

### 7. **Test and Debug**
– After setting up, test the pages to ensure your theme and Elementor work well together.
– Use the browser console to check for any JavaScript errors or conflicting styles.

### 8. **Optional: Add Custom Hooks**
If needed, add custom hooks or filters to better integrate Elementor widgets or features with your theme.
