[Resolved] Using Elementor template shortcodes inside View loop

I have noticed that you can use Elementor template shortcodes within a View loop. This effectively allows you to design the loop output with Elementor. I have been testing for a while and it appears to work well.

Is this recommended? Or are there any known issues with doing this?

Hi Ben,

Thank you for getting in touch.

I know that you're not able to use the elementor plugin to design your loop output layout but their shortcodes should still work.

Could you send me a screenshot of you view edit screen so that I can know exactly what you are talking about.

Thanks,
Shane

Like this Shane.

[wpv-layout-start]
[wpv-items-found]
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
<wpv-loop>
[elementor-template id="999"]
</wpv-loop>
<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
[/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]

Hi Ben,

Thanks, i've never seen it done like this before but as you mentioned it works so its a possible use case for view.

I'm assuming it loads all the posts with the elementor template. So its a new use case.

It shouldn't cause an issue but I cannot guarantee that issues won't arise.

Thanks,
Shane

Thanks Shane.

Is there any way of testing the server load this way as opposed to using a Toolset Content Template?
