However, the query options are very limited, which makes it difficult to customize the content displayed. On top of that, it unexpectedly disables core Elementor features such as importing templates, which is a big drawback. It could be a solid tool if these issues were fixed, but right now it feels too restrictive for real use. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5d04649d78360810f92789a9060fdda6253ae4b9f383070634416bdc9b0acaef? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[English only](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/english-only-3/)󠁿 [wojtekjsnb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wojtekjsnb/) April 11, 2025 I cannot change the titles of headers in addons (e.g. popular posts), so the plugin is useless on non-English websites, which is a pity. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/973db65488e82602d0837bd658c0ebcf6adf267a4ef3523b02606eb8f4dff2bc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Among all the Elementor plugins I’v used, this one truly stands out as the best](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/among-all-the-elementor-plugins-iv-used-this-one-truly-stands-out-as-the-best/)󠁿 [Santosh Dhital](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wptnd/) June 7, 2024 Among all the Elementor plugins I’ve used, this one truly stands out as the best.
