Now, once you 42 00:01:40,430 --> 00:01:43,570 activate the essential atoms for Elementor, 43 00:01:43,565 --> 00:01:45,265 you may see a page. 44 00:01:45,260 --> 00:01:46,460 In fact, let me go ahead and click 45 00:01:46,460 --> 00:01:48,370 on the link right here. 46 00:01:48,365 --> 00:01:51,865 Because this isn't the first time that I have 47 00:01:51,860 --> 00:01:55,940 installed the essential atoms plugin on my page. 48 00:01:55,940 --> 00:01:59,240 You're not, I'm not seeing the welcome page. 49 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,060 So it's very likely that you may have seen 50 00:02:02,060 --> 00:02:05,680 a different page where they will say, Hey, welcome. 51 00:02:05,675 --> 00:02:08,315 Choose which elements you want to walk with. 52 00:02:08,315 --> 00:02:10,345 Just click on Next, Next, Next, 53 00:02:10,340 --> 00:02:12,200 Next they will also offer you 54 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,880 the upgrade to pay for 55 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,090 the paid version of essential atoms. 56 00:02:16,085 --> 00:02:17,315 Just ignore that. 57 00:02:17,315 --> 00:02:19,285 Just click on Next, Next, Next and then Finish. 58 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,420 And then this would basically 59 00:02:20,420 --> 00:02:23,150 be the page that you would see. 60 00:02:23,150 --> 00:02:25,310 But more on that a bit later. 61 00:02:25,310 --> 00:02:30,710 Let's take a look at elements are first of all, settings. 62 00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:33,220 What exactly do we have in here? 63 00:02:33,215 --> 00:02:35,515 The first thing here is going to be the post types. 64 00:02:35,510 --> 00:02:37,780 If you're working with custom post types, 65 00:02:37,775 --> 00:02:40,805 you will have the option to check them in here as well. 66 00:02:40,805 --> 00:02:42,925 But I'm just working with posts and pages. 67 00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:44,930 So I'm going to keep this to check. 68 00:02:44,930 --> 00:02:47,350 Now it says disabled default colors. 69 00:02:47,345 --> 00:02:50,075 Checking this box will disable elements default colors, 70 00:02:50,075 --> 00:02:53,815 and make elemental inherit the colors from your theme. 71 00:02:53,810 --> 00:02:55,040 Now if you're using 72 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,340 an advanced theme like let's say Astra or ocean, 73 00:02:58,340 --> 00:02:59,750 WP and so on. 74 00:02:59,750 --> 00:03:02,720 And you want to use the colors from your theme. 75 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,370 You will uncheck those two boxes right here. 76 00:03:06,365 --> 00:03:08,875 But because we're using the halo theme, 77 00:03:08,870 --> 00:03:11,090 which is a very, very lightweight theme, 78 00:03:11,090 --> 00:03:12,610 Elementor is going to be doing 79 00:03:12,605 --> 00:03:14,335 all the heavy lifting for 80 00:03:14,330 --> 00:03:16,220 style, design and functionality. 81 00:03:16,220 --> 00:03:18,170 So what I'm gonna do is I'm actually 82 00:03:18,170 --> 00:03:20,870 going to check these two boxes. 83 00:03:20,870 --> 00:03:21,950 I'm sorry. 84 00:03:21,950 --> 00:03:24,590 I'm going to uncheck these two boxes 85 00:03:24,590 --> 00:03:26,840 because we do in fact 86 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,920 want to use the default colors 87 00:03:29,915 --> 00:03:32,005 are provided by our elemental, 88 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,190 so I'm going to keep these two boxes unchecked. 89 00:03:36,185 --> 00:03:37,735 And finally improve element. 90 00:03:37,730 --> 00:03:39,260 Or if you'd like to contribute to Elementor, 91 00:03:39,260 --> 00:03:41,630 you can come in here and check the box plot. 92 00:03:41,630 --> 00:03:44,030 I am not going to do that. 93 00:03:44,030 --> 00:03:46,100 Let's move on to style. 94 00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:47,360 We'll talk about this one a bit later. 95 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,640 Actually, integrations if you are working with 96 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,490 Google Maps and you need to install the API key, 97 00:03:52,490 --> 00:03:55,460 this is exactly where you would install it. 98 00:03:55,460 --> 00:03:58,220 Also, if you end up installing other plug-ins like 99 00:03:58,220 --> 00:04:01,330 let's say PayPal or Stripe or things like that. 100 00:04:01,325 --> 00:04:03,665 And you need to integrate them with elemental. 101 00:04:03,664 --> 00:04:04,974 It will be on this page where you will 102 00:04:04,970 --> 00:04:07,580 find the options to do so. 103 00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:09,770 You do have the Advanced tab. 104 00:04:09,770 --> 00:04:11,750 We don't need to change anything in here. 105 00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:14,150 Basically, most of these are 106 00:04:14,150 --> 00:04:17,140 for security and for our speed. 107 00:04:17,135 --> 00:04:20,065 If you notice an issue with elemental, 108 00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:22,610 maybe your site is becoming very, very, very slow. 109 00:04:22,610 --> 00:04:24,470 You can come in here right now and switch 110 00:04:24,470 --> 00:04:25,780 the CSS print method from 111 00:04:25,775 --> 00:04:28,165 external files with internal embedding. 112 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,060 But only do this if you're having issues with your speed. 113 00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:33,680 And it's not because you're 114 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,180 using some other bloated plug-in 115 00:04:37,175 --> 00:04:39,415 or your web host isn't good enough or things like 116 00:04:39,410 --> 00:04:42,740 that only changed this as a last resort. 117 00:04:42,740 --> 00:04:44,570 Same goes with the switch, 118 00:04:44,570 --> 00:04:46,490 our editor loader method. 119 00:04:46,490 --> 00:04:49,670 If you want to troubleshoot issues on your website, 120 00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:51,590 you would come in here and enable this. 121 00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:54,130 The unfiltered file uploads 122 00:04:54,125 --> 00:04:56,095 elemental has kind of like an in-built security 123 00:04:56,090 --> 00:04:58,430 where if you try to upload 124 00:04:58,430 --> 00:05:01,300 images to the elemental system, 125 00:05:01,295 --> 00:05:03,385 elemental, we'll take a look and see whether or not 126 00:05:03,380 --> 00:05:05,540 the file is actually a safe 127 00:05:05,540 --> 00:05:09,590 to work with by enabling this feature, 128 00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:12,520 which is to enable unfiltered file uploads. 129 00:05:12,515 --> 00:05:14,095 You do want the risk of 130 00:05:14,090 --> 00:05:16,280 uploading files onto your website. 131 00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:18,930 So I would recommend you keep this one disabled. 132 00:05:18,934 --> 00:05:21,444 Same goals with Google Fonts load again, 133 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,150 you don't need to change anything in here. 134 00:05:23,150 --> 00:05:25,220 Just keep that one on default. 135 00:05:25,220 --> 00:05:27,740 If you want to work with Font Awesome For you 136 00:05:27,740 --> 00:05:30,280 can come in here right now and enable that feature. 137 00:05:30,275 --> 00:05:32,645 And then finally, you have experiments. 138 00:05:32,645 --> 00:05:34,735 This is where you will have access to 139 00:05:34,730 --> 00:05:36,500 all the latest features that 140 00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:38,510 elemental are currently working on. 141 00:05:38,510 --> 00:05:42,400 You can see the status of most of these is set to beta, 142 00:05:42,395 --> 00:05:45,715 beta, alpha, beta, and so on. 143 00:05:45,710 --> 00:05:50,120 In most cases you want to keep this one's on default. 144 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,530 But there is one academic command that you activate. 145 00:05:54,530 --> 00:05:57,310 And as the improved asset loading, 146 00:05:57,305 --> 00:06:00,535 this is meant to reduce the amount of 147 00:06:00,530 --> 00:06:03,580 code on each page built with elemental. 148 00:06:03,575 --> 00:06:05,755 What that means is that your pages will 149 00:06:05,750 --> 00:06:08,180 typically load faster as a result, 150 00:06:08,180 --> 00:06:09,620 even though it's in beta, 151 00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:10,790 I have been using this for 152 00:06:10,790 --> 00:06:12,380 quite some time and it seems to be working. 153 00:06:12,380 --> 00:06:14,330 So I'm going to go ahead now and 154 00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:17,180 activate the improved asset loading. 155 00:06:17,180 --> 00:06:19,670 I'm also going to activate the 156 00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:23,300 improved our CSS loading as well, 157 00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:25,420 please even the future. 158 00:06:25,415 --> 00:06:27,775 On this website you've been working on, 159 00:06:27,770 --> 00:06:30,410 you notice that an issues you may 160 00:06:30,410 --> 00:06:33,050 want to come back in here and disable this too, 161 00:06:33,050 --> 00:06:35,270 but I believe it should be fine. 162 00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:40,100 So I'm gonna come down in here and save those changes. 163 00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:42,520 Okay, one more thing I want to mention 164 00:06:42,515 --> 00:06:45,505 really quickly is you have rule manager. 165 00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:47,390 If you have several kinds of users 166 00:06:47,390 --> 00:06:49,280 on your site with different kinds of roles. 167 00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:51,620 In here, you can determine who 168 00:06:51,620 --> 00:06:53,840 can actually use elemental specific example. 169 00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:55,790 You don't want a user 170 00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:57,500 with the role of contributor to work with 171 00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:59,900 elementary common here to contribute all and simply 172 00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:02,450 check no access to edit tool. 173 00:07:02,450 --> 00:07:04,070 With the paid version of elements you have 174 00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:05,830 access to more features. 175 00:07:05,825 --> 00:07:09,365 And then our tools in here. 176 00:07:09,365 --> 00:07:10,915 This one is actually very, very, 177 00:07:10,910 --> 00:07:13,630 very importantly regenerate CSS and data. 178 00:07:13,625 --> 00:07:15,295 If you make changes like 179 00:07:15,290 --> 00:07:17,990 the color of your text that says if a text you save 180 00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:19,340 those changes and you're 181 00:07:19,340 --> 00:07:21,200 not seeing those changes take effect on 182 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,960 your science as long as there should at it isn't 183 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,950 caching from your computer or from your server. 184 00:07:26,945 --> 00:07:28,435 You may want to come in here and try 185 00:07:28,430 --> 00:07:30,160 to regenerate files and data. 186 00:07:30,155 --> 00:07:32,125 Well, this will do is that it will rebuild 187 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,150 the CSS style sheet and hopefully 188 00:07:34,145 --> 00:07:36,145 that should fix the problem and you'll be able 189 00:07:36,140 --> 00:07:38,600 to see your changes. 190 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,870 Sync library safe mode debug bar 191 00:07:40,865 --> 00:07:42,895 will ignore that one for now, replace URL. 192 00:07:42,890 --> 00:07:44,690 If you are a broken links on your site, 193 00:07:44,690 --> 00:07:46,640 you want to point them to new links. 194 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,890 You come in here at the old link, 195 00:07:48,890 --> 00:07:50,110 go to the second box, 196 00:07:50,105 --> 00:07:52,885 add the new link and I simply click on the police URL. 197 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,490 And you fixed the book and link version control. 198 00:07:57,485 --> 00:08:00,655 If for some reason in the future you upgrade to 199 00:08:00,650 --> 00:08:02,360 the latest version of Elementor 200 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,980 and something breaks on your side, 201 00:08:03,980 --> 00:08:06,250 maybe your site
