Possible Causes & Step-by-Step Solutions of Elementor Heading Widget Issues
1. Global Styles Conflict with Heading Widget Styles
Elementor’s global typography settings may conflict with the font styles in your heading widget.
How to Fix It:
- Go to Appearance > Customizer in the WordPress dashboard.
- Click on General Settings>Custom Fonts.
- Add your custom font and upload your font file in the required format (e.g.,.woff,.woff2,or.ttf).
Note:
WordPress might restrict font file uploads for security reasons. If that happens, try these options:
- Use Custom Code
- Add Security Plugin (allows us to upload your file for the required typography).
2. Clear Browser and Server Cache
Caching plugins may block updated styles from displaying properly.
How to Fix It:
- Caching plugins or browser caches can sometimes display older versions of your site. Clear your browser cache and purge your website’s cache (via plugins like WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, etc.).
- Then, refresh the page to check if your customized styles have been applied.
3. Inspect CSS Conflicts
Custom CSS rules may conflict with your settings.
How to Fix It:
- Go to your Elementor editor and check if there are custom CSS rules conflicting with your settings.
- Navigate to Advanced Tab > Custom CSS (available in the Pro version) and ensure no conflicts are specified.
4. Update Xpro Addons and Elementor
Make sure that both the Xpro Elementor Addons and the Elementor plugin are up to date. Outdated versions can cause compatibility issues.
5. Disable Third-Party Plugins
Deactivate other third-party plugins one by one to check for conflicts. Plugins that manipulate CSS or optimize performance may interfere with the heading widget.
6. Use Custom CSS (if needed)
If none of the above steps work, you can add custom CSS to force your styles
7. Contact Support
If none of the above resolves the issue, contact Xpro Elementor Addons Support with:
- A detailed description of the issue.
