Using Elementor for HivePress templates, listing, vendors, experts etc

[lolofora]

Hello everybody,

So i read these topics, and they are old

Is there a way that i can override the hivepress template using "elementor"?

because it ( hivepress template) actually leads me to default wordpress editor . . .

How to use the HP templates with Elementor

How to use the templates I created in HP, for example I created “Add Ad (Categories)” and “Add Ad (Profile)”, it does not appear anywhere in Ellementor… What is the link to “add listing?”, I’m using another menu and I can’t go back… I intend to use this link in several buttons inside the page… Thanks in advance

and as probbaly many of you i alos want to edit the template with Elementor, but i dont even add anybutton to do that.

I dont even need to “Blocks/widget” as i retrieve all my fields/attributes/values with shortcode.

I just dont know how to make an Elementor page “Behaving” like a “Vendor” (precisely in my case) page.

Any lights would be welcome

Thank in advance
Laurent

Salut Lolo,

If you pay attention to the feature requests, Elementor is one of the most wanted ones, so I guess it is not yet done and not so easy.

Probably doable (I have seen in showcase sections, I believe) but with some limitations

Salut cotasson

Thank you for your reply, yes i 've seen that and it’s a shame that this is not going faster.

This looks so close to being able to do something.

I’ll share what i tried.

To make it simple i’ve done a snippet/shortcode :

add_shortcode('show_page', function($atts) {
    $atts = shortcode_atts([
        'id' => '',
        'slug' => ''
    ], $atts);
    
    if (empty($atts['id']) && empty($atts['slug'])) return '';
    
    $page = !empty($atts['id']) 
        ? get_post($atts['id']) 
        : get_page_by_path($atts['slug']);
        
    if (!$page) return '';
    
    return apply_filters('the_content', $page->post_content);
});

Usage: [show_page id="123"] or [show_page slug="my-page"]

That i just use in the hivepress template i use
ex:

And here is my elementor page (ID 420)

So as i said i am loading all the content i need via shortcodes and it all work good BUT

As it passes through the shortcode and the hivepress template i am losing all css so everything is all over the place (no need for screenshot for that).

So i am still wonderring if anyone is aware of some sort of trick

Thanks for your reply cotasson

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience, but currently, there is no support for changing templates through Elementor, but we will try to add this feature in future updates; in this version, it is available only for the block editor. As a workaround, you can look through Elementor’s settings in more detail and see if there is a feature available to support post type, then enable it and test if everything works correctly. Please note that we cannot guarantee that template-specific blocks will be available in the editor.

I hope it helps.
