I was trying to remember what widgets were in use. This plugin made that task MUCH easier! Thank you plugin developer for making it!

Really saved us trying to find external elementor plugins... much easier to use than searching all tables in the database, which is what we did previously.
Great plugin

This is an essential plugin for anyone running a large Elementor system. There are so many widgets and the ability to know what you have and whether you really need certain plugins is essential to good maintenance

bietet viele Informationen und Bereinigungsmöglichkeiten. Eine ausführlichere Anleitung wäre für mich als Neueinsteiger ohne Programmier-Kenntnisse hilfreich

Very quick fix for Elementor 3.22
By mthorner on June 16, 2024
Unfortunately, the nice plugin stopped working after updating Elementor to 3.22.
Just two hours later the issue was fixed. Great!
