Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why don’t I see the widget in Elementor?
A: Make sure Elementor is active and you’re editing the page with Elementor, not the WordPress block editor. Clear any cache (plugin or CDN) and refresh the Elementor editor.
Q: Why is the upload failing or the ZIP file not accepted?
A: Confirm it’s a valid plugin ZIP file. If you extracted (unzipped) it on your computer, re-zip the plugin folder before uploading it to WordPress.
Q: Why are my Pro features or license not working? (Pro version only)
A: Ensure the Pro add-on is installed and active along with the free base plugin (if your plan requires it). Then, activate your license key from the plugin’s settings page.
Q: Why do layouts break or animations look choppy?
A: This may be due to theme or CSS conflicts. Try disabling any conflicting performance or optimization plugins. You can also lower the marquee speed or reduce the number of marquees used on a single page.
