Elementor Category Widget Support

Resolved

Requested: 3 years and 3 months ago

Hi Guys,

we have been trying hard to use your widget with Elementor and mostly had success with the pages menu but we now need the option to use the categories menu approach so we can cross associate pages of relevance to current page users are on.

I’ve setup a test page here: https://maindcc.nichestaging.com/visit-devonport/see-and-do/cains-category-menu-testing-delete/

1) Problem – with optional check box – ‘Keep all accordion sections closed until clicked- If this option is checked, all accordion items will remain closed until clicked. If unchecked, the menu will open the menu to the current section automatically.’

I have this unchecked in the first column in demo and checked in the second. Neither seems to be making any difference?

2) Question – Is their a way to define different levels.
Our current structure of categories is as follows;
Parents: VISIT / LIVE / BUILDING / COUNCIL
Children of VISIT: Arts, Culture & Heritage / See & Do/ Maps & Visitor Guides

We would like to be able to display the child and only the grandchildren – for example:
Arts, Culture & Heritage and all pages under that category pages under that.

Any help on the above items would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Cain,

Looking at your site, it appear you may have used the the version which turns off all category links in the menu. If you would like to turn off just particular ones, please use the version which has no_link_category_ids to specify which categories you would like to disable.

If you would like to simply turn off linking of all top level categories which have child categories, an alternative approach would be use the following custom JavaScript to make all parent categories open/close the accordions below them when clicking. This will disable the links and also make then interact when clicked:

jQuery( function($){ setTimeout( function(){ for( var $widget_id in asm_pro.enabled_accordions ){ var el = $( document.getElementById( $widget_id ) ) if( asm_pro.enabled_accordions[$widget_id]['include_parent'] ){ parents = el.find( '> ul > li .has_children' ).has( 'ul' ); } else { parents = el.find( 'ul .has_children' ).has( 'ul' ); } parents.each( function(){ var _parent_menu = $( this ); _parent_menu.on( 'click', '> a', function( ev ){ ev.preventDefault(); asm_pro.accordion._expand_sub_menu( _parent_menu, _parent_menu.find( '> span' ) ); } ); } ); } }, 1000 ); });

Have a great night!

Hey Mat – think I solved my last question – I didn’t have it set to all categories..
Apologies if you have started looking at this one.

You can close this item.
