    I added the Elementor page builder plugin to my Genesis Child Theme. I would like to use its widgets in the Homepage but they are not as part of the 'available' widgets in the Appearance/Widgets section. If someone is working with Elementor, is there a way to overcome this?

    Thanks.

    The only way to use a page builder with a home page is create a static home page and not use the widgetized home page delivered with most Studio Press themes.

    Hi Victor, SiteOrigin's page builder makes its widgets available in the Appearance/Widgets section, so the can be used in Studio Press themes'
    widgetized home pages. I was looking for a way to do the same with Elementor, but it seems that in their case your approach is the only one that would work. Haven't tested Beaver Builder.

    BB is like Elementor. Their widgets are only available in their page builder.

    Thank you Victor.

    I am not a "pro" but my opinion is that if you are going to replace a Child Theme's

      home page

    with one based on a page builder you might as well not bother using a Child theme.

    So from that point of view, SiteOrigin's page builder seems to offer us something the other page builders do not.

    Best regards,
    Jerry
