Getting Started

Requirements​

Dotjuice Elementor Tools requires Elementor (the free page builder plugin) to be installed and active. It doesn't require WooCommerce or ACF, but several widgets only appear once those plugins are active too — see Finding your widgets below.

Finding your widgets​

Open any page in the Elementor editor and look for the Dotjuice category in the widgets panel on the left. Every widget from this plugin lives there.

If a widget you expect to see is missing:

  • All WooCommerce-related widgets (anything with "Woo" in the name, plus Woo Taxonomy List) only appear once WooCommerce is installed and active — even Woo Taxonomy List, which can be used for non-shop content like blog categories, only shows up with WooCommerce present. If you want a general-purpose taxonomy list widget on a site without WooCommerce, install WooCommerce or get in touch with support.
  • The Image Carousel Transform widget only has a visible effect on pages that also use Elementor Pro's native Image Carousel widget elsewhere.

Where the plugin's settings live​

In your WordPress admin menu, under Dotjuice:

  • Elementor Tools — the plugin's own dashboard (Getting Started, Widgets overview, System Status, Support)
  • Screenshot API — required setup for the Screenshot Capture widget (see Screenshot API Settings)
  • WooCommerce Hacks — account page tweaks and product attribute colours (only visible with WooCommerce active — see WooCommerce Account Settings and Product Attribute Colours)
  1. If you plan to use Screenshot Capture, set up your API key first — see Screenshot API Settings. The widget won't display anything without it.
  2. If you run a WooCommerce store, review WooCommerce Account Settings — most stores end up wanting at least one of these tweaks (hiding unused account tabs, excluding a category from the shop page).
  3. Browse the widget guides below for the ones relevant to your build.
