For example, instead of having a fixed number of credits for image optimization and a fixed number of credits for accessibility, you have a pool of credits that can be used for image optimization, accessibility, email deliverability and site management. If you have an Elementor app subscription and then purchase an Elementor One subscription, you have the option to move the app to Elementor One, allowing you to take advantage of these shared credits.

Note that the app subscription is not automatically moved over to Elementor One, and therefore cannot use these shared Elementor One credits. For example, if you’re using the Image Optimizer as a standalone app and run out of credits, the Optimizer will stop optimizing images. On the other hand, if you have image optimization as part of your Elementor One subscription, you would be able to use your remaining pooled credits to continue working.

If you do elect to move your app to Elementor One, it’s important to note that you will not be able to use the credits linked to your app subscription unless you reconnect to the original app subscription. For example, if you have an image Optimizer subscription and move the app to Elementor One, the Optimizer will use Elementor One credits and not the credits from your Image Optimizer subscription. However, you do have the option of detaching the app from your Elementor One account. If you do this, the app will use credits from the app subscription.

To learn how to move and detach apps, see How to manage your addons with the Elementor One Tool Manager.

If your Manage plugin is not syncing properly to all your sites, you are probably running into one of the following issues:

• Outdated plugin
• Firewall or security plugin issues
• Permalink issues
• License issues

To fix these sync issues, take the steps outlined below.

Prerequisites:

• Your site must be running the latest version of the Manage plugin

How to solve firewall and security issues

Firewall and security issues are the most common cause of Manage syncing issues.

1. Deactivate security plugins such as:
   1. Wordfence
   2. Sucuri
   3. iThemes Security
   4. All In One WP Security
      For details, see Activate and deactivate plugins.
2. Manually sync your Manage plugin with these plugins deactivated.
3. Reactivate the security plugins.
   If this doesn’t solve the problem, there may be a firewall issue. This can happen when services like Cloudflare or Sucuri Firewall may strip authorization headers from incoming REST API requests.
4. Check firewall logs for blocked requests originating from Elementor’s servers and ensure the REST API is not being throttled or blocked. In order to check your firewall logs, consult your hosting provider’s documentation.
5. If you do find blocked requests, contact your hosting provider to remove these blocks or whitelist Elementor servers.
   If this doesn’t resolve the issue, proceed to the next troubleshooting step.

How to solve URL and Server configuration issues

Manage needs to use the WordPress REST API to properly sync with your sites. WordPress REST API depends on a proper URL structure. First, you’ll need to correct the permalink structure, and then apply a fix to make sure you’re not missing an authorization header.

1. From WP Admin, navigate to Settings>Permalinks.
   
   This displays the permalinks settings.
2. To change the permalinks settings:
   1. If the site uses Custom Structure, switch to Post Name.
      
   2. If the site uses Post Name, change the setting to Plain, and then back to Post Name. This flushes the rewrite rules.
      
      If you’re still experiencing issues, you may need to fix the authorization header if the host is running Apache. 
3. Go to your site’s files and open the .htaccess file. You may need to consult your host’s documentation to access the file. 
4. Enter the following before the # BEGIN WordPress block:
   RewriteRule .* – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
   
   If you’re still having issues, try the steps below.

How to refresh your Elementor Manage license

1. Reset your license connection. For details, see Install and connect Elementor One.
2. Manually sync the site as shown above.

Manage site settings with Angie

You can control key WordPress settings directly from the Angie panel without navigating through menus. Below are some examples of prompts you can use:

Alternative text, often shortened to alt text, is a concise written description of websites images. It is an HTML attribute applied to image tags that provides a text alternative for the visual content. For screen reader users, alt text offers an audio description of what is on screen, ensuring they do not miss relevant visual details and hear only the word “image”. If an image is purely decorative and does not add to the content, it should be marked as decorative or have a blank alt attribute (alt=””), indicating that it does not require a descriptive text.

Alt text is crucial for website accessibility. Its primary purpose is to describe the image for people who are visually impaired, allowing them to understand the page better by knowing what the picture represents. When writing alt text, it is important to be specific, keep the description under 125 characters, and avoid starting with phrases like picture of…” or Image of….

The Ally bulk alt text tool displays all a page’s images in an easy to use window where you can:

• Mark images as decorative. This gives inserts a presentation role for the image, telling screen readers that they can skip the image and no alt text is required. 
• Manually add alt text
• Use AI to add alt text
  [callout type=”note”]When you add alt text, it is usually added to the image metadata in the Media Library so it becomes part of the code.[/callout] 

How to use the bulk alt text tool

To use the bulk alt text tool:

1. Scan the page for issues by clicking Scan URL.
   
   After scanning, the page opens with the Accessibility Assistant panel on the right side.
2. Click the Alternative text issues box.
   
3. Click Bulk alt text to open the alt text tool.
   
4. Use the checkbox to mark decorative images.
   
5. Use the text box to enter alt text manually.
   
6. Click the AI icon to have the AI generate alt text.
   
   When done, click Apply to save the alt text.
   

By default, classes and variables are exported or imported along with the rest of the website. However, you do have the option to only the classes and variables.

To only import or export classes and variables:

1. From WP Admin, navigate to Elementor>Editor>Tools.
   
2. Click the Website Templates tab.
   
3. Turn off all options except for Settings & configurations.

Classic widgets use global colors and fonts to keep website design consistent. Atomic elements use classes and variables for this purpose. In order for Version 3 and 4 elements to work together, you can sync variables with global fonts and colors.  

To sync variables and classes:

[callout type=”note”]Syncing fonts is limited to Typography. Other font characteristics like color, size and weight cannot be synced.[/callout]

In this example, we’ll start with a Heading atomic element.

6. Select a color setting in a classic Elementor widget and click the global color icon.
   
7. The variable appears as one of the choices.
   
8. The background is added to the widget.
   

Remove syncing

If you decide to separate the variables from global fonts and colors you can unlink them. 

To unlink variables:

1. Open the Variable Manager. For details, see Variables Manager.
2. Click the ellipses and select Stop syncing to global colors or Stop syncing to Global fonts.

How should you prepare your domain for transfer?

To transfer your domain to Elementor, log into your current registrar to unlock the domain and retrieve your authorization (EPP) code. Then, navigate to the Domains tab in your My Elementor dashboard, click Transfer domain, enter your credentials, and complete the secure payment to begin the transfer process.

• Unlock your domain: Log into your current domain provider’s dashboard and disable the registrar lock.
• Get your authorization code: Copy the transfer authorization code (often called an EPP code) from your current provider.
• Note the timeline: Most domain transfers finish within 5 to 7 days.
• Prepare for payment: Transferring a domain typically extends its registration by one year and will require a payment at the end of the process.
• (If switching to Elementor DNS servers) Copy DNS records: Create a list of your existing records, as these don’t transfer automatically. 

What are the steps to initiate a domain transfer to Elementor?

To securely transfer your domain:

1. Go to your My Elementor dashboard.
2. Click Domains on the top panel.
   
   Click the Transfer domain button in the upper right corner.
   
3. Review the Before you start your transfer checklist and proceed by clicking Start your transfer.
   
4. In the Domain name step, enter your domain name (e.g., yourdomain.com) and paste the Authorization code you received from your current provider.
5. Click Continue.
   
6. In the Nameservers step, select how you want to manage your DNS records:
   • Use Elementor nameservers: We recommend this for seamless integration. You’ll need to add the DNS records manually. For details, see Manage your DNS Records. 
   • Keep current nameservers: Select this if you prefer to continue managing your DNS through a third-party provider.
7. Click Continue.
   
8. Review the Summary and complete the secure payment process for your domain renewal.
   

How do you track the progress of your transfer?

Once the transfer is initiated, you can track its progress directly from your My Elementor dashboard.

• Real-time status updates: Monitor your domain’s status as it moves through the transfer process (e.g., Pending, In Progress, Awaiting Payment, Complete).
• Email notifications: Elementor will send you email notifications at key milestones, ensuring you are always up to date on your transfer’s estimated completion timeline.
