Any chance of seeing some parts of the loop builder in the free version? |

Please don't forget Carousel and support for third party plugins like Jet Engine for Loop builder. |

The sticky container problem is largely fixed in the new version. The only problem now is that if we make the right container sticky in a 2-column container, it will move to the opposite side after scrolling. But if we put the left container in Sticky mode, there will be no problem. Also, please check this if possible. Common bug between free version (container) and pro version (menu cart widget). |

Thanks for the loop builder! Lets hope for carousel support next. This will greatly improve mobile design |

If dynamic tag is used in global colors, interesting ui will not be created. There could be a better way. About the sticky container issue, this is really the only reason I won't be using containers for now. I hope this problem will be solved soon. Also, please don't forget the carousel for the Loop builder. And of course compatibility with WooCommerce, ACF and Jet Engine. |

Ignore the above, just re-read the published notes. Apparently you want beta reports marked as a bug in the issues thread rather than in this discussion. |

As you plan to update the Elementor Cloud platform first with developmental experiments and improvements are you planning to discontinue the Elementor Dev plugin? |

I found a bug with the Loop Grid. If the Loop Item has a button, when you click on the button of the first item in the Loop Grid the first time, the text in the button disappears and doesn't go anywhere. The second click on this same button then takes you to the correct link. |

Regarding adding an 'a' HTML tag to a container. I know you have put in a message about the container breaking if nested links are added but ideally can't this be fixed to some degree, for example, widgets like buttons or the logo widget have an 'a' wrapper applied automatically, maybe have this removed if the parent container has an 'a' tag? Just my thought. On odd occasions, I have had customers who want whole blocks clickable as links but have a button to show it is something to click on << almost like the call to action widget. |

Me again. I was just thinking of something that's been years overdue: Please add that one feature that is just a minor thing and has been in a different place in Elementor for years, namely a FILTER BAR for categories, etc. It's been there for the portfolio widget for a long time, but not for the post widget, which is totally pointless. The best is, add this feature in this beta and all of us will be even happier! 👀 |

Hello, the issue with the sticky nav container still hasn't been fixed. (Elementor Free and Pro on Version 3.9.0-dev1). I'm still on Elementor 3.7 (Both Free and Pro) because after this version, all the websites I use this layout on, have the same behavior as the attached video. This is a common layout, and everything worked just fine until the recent updates.. Screen.Recording.2022-09-20.at.21.36.12.2.movI attached the template, or you can also view it at the following link: https://test10.azkm.design/sticky-nav-test/. When you resize the window as I do in the video, it breaks. Change .txt to .json and upload it to your test environment. Thank you, hope it gets fixed soon so I can finally update. |

As a small request, I think it would be much better if the default value (20px) was displayed as a place holder in the Gap between elements option. |

Out of curiosity: nobody has having troubles with background images (position/repeat) on tablet and mobile? |

Let me mention another container bug related to z-index... I created a header with a white background color and it has a shadow in the bottom. The header container is in stivky mode (The image below). The problem is that when I scroll, the handles of the containers on the page are placed above the header. This greatly affects the visual effect. Please see the following image : I hope it helps to fix it before the official release of 3.8. |

If you encounter an issue with the full-width control, please reassign the control, and it will work as expected. The change in the markup regarding the full-width control is as follows: -- Replace The versions also include the following: Free version
-- Pro version
Thank you! |

After updating to beta 6, the structure of some containers broke And the reason was that after the update, the Content Width option was empty. After selecting the full width option, the problem was solved. |

Apologies for posting a request here🙏 (although it's container related) Please add transform support for the container element in the future phases. This in itself is a very important feature for containers. This seems to be a related issue and there and waiting for @avivu comment. |

The spacer widget still has two issues with the container. 1- In the row container, it cannot be accessed except by using navigation. (At the beginning of the video below) 2- If you add the spacer widget exactly as shown in the video below, it works but the styling is broken. spacer.widget.mp4In general, this widget does not work properly in the row container. |

To solve the problem of sticky container, must elementor pro 3.8 be installed? Because I'm still experiencing two serious bugs in the sticky container. |

Beta 6 UPDATED - PLEASE READ BELOW!
===========
Hi Elementor Beta Testers 👋
We are incredibly excited to introduce our new beta versions of Elementor 3.8 and Elementor Pro 3.8, which includes some highly anticipated features. We also take this opportunity to introduce to you our new release mechanism, which will make our future releases a lot more predictable, and reliable.
Try out the free and Pro Beta versions of 3.8 and let us know what you think about our newest additions, including:
Introducing The Loop Builder - Pro feature
Elementor 3.8 will be introducing the first phase of the Loop Builder. The Loop Builder enables you to create and design the main item for repeating content (i.e. loops) such as listings, as well as customize its layout on the page. By creating a main item template yourself, you gain a lot more design and dynamic content flexibility than the Posts widget allows you to achieve.
The first phase of the Loop Builder includes the ability to create a main item for posts, and custom post types, future updates will include full WooCommerce support, and additional capabilities that will enhance your website.
Creating your Main Item Template
There are two ways to design your main item template:
To design your main item template, you can use nearly any of the widgets in Elementor. Each of the widgets you use, can be assigned any of the dynamic values available on your website, or they can be left as static and used to enhance the design of your main item.
Displaying the Loop on a Page
The loop templates you create can be used on any page, using the Loop Grid widget. With this widget, you can determine the name of the template you would like to use, the data source from WordPress to display content from, and adjust the layout, style and pagination to your liking.
Important Note for Cloud Hosted Website Users
Please note that in order to eliminate conflict with other third party plugins, the naming convention for the Loop template has changed from ‘Loop’ to ‘Loop Item.’ As a result, if you’ve created loop templates with previous Cloud versions of Elementor, they will be deleted. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. On the new version, this will be solved and templates will be saved properly.
How to Test It:
Create an In-place loop
Create a loop item from the Theme Builder
Flexbox Containers beta - Now Marked as Stable
After having gone through extensive testing, and reviewed under a variety of use cases and integrations, this version marks the status of the Flexbox Containers experiment as beta, and is now considered stable. That means you can feel confident using them on your own website.
We will make an effort to ensure that any changes and improvements made to Containers from this point forward will also be backwards compatible, and should not affect the way they appear or function on existing websites who have activated the experiment. Since for some of you, Flexbox Containers will require some learning and getting used to, for the time being - it will be your decision when to activate the experiment and use Containers on your website. [That is also why, they will still be located under the Experiment tab in Elementor Settings for the time being].
Please note, if you decide to activate the experiment, and design layouts using the Container, but then decide to deactivate the experiments, all website parts created with Containers may disappear.
To learn more about how you can use Flexbox Containers on your website, you can also try it out yourself first in the Elementor Flexbox Playground
Please note - Markup changes in Container.
We will introduce in later Beta versions markup changes to the Container class names as described below:
-- Replace
e-container
toe-con
-- Replace
e-container--width-boxed
toe-con-boxed
-- Replace
e-container--width-full
toe-con-full
-- Replace
e-container__inner
toe-con-inner
New: Remove Kit - Revert your Website to its Previous Condition
Ever downloaded a website kit but then changed your mind? With this update, you don’t need to restore your entire website to a previous version or manually undo all the global styles applied by the kit or delete the pages it came with.
Any kit downloaded from this version onwards can be easily removed by going to the Import/Export tab under Elementor Settings → Tools section(from the WordPress dashboard) and clicking the ‘Remove Kit’ button. This button will only appear if you downloaded a kit after updating to this version.
How to Test It:
Update about the Release Mechanism
