    Hello, Kristina,

    Thank you for reaching out to us with your query. We understand that you are experiencing difficulty in creating a section and column within Elementor, which you were able to do previously.

    To assist you better, could you please confirm if you have recently updated Elementor or any related plugins? Sometimes, updates can change the interface or the way certain features work. Additionally, it would be helpful if you could check if there are any compatibility issues with the current version of your theme and Elementor.

    In the meantime, here’s a quick guide to creating a section and column in Elementor:

    1. Open the Elementor editor by editing the page where you want to add the section.
    2. To create a new section, click on the “+” icon that appears in the Elementor editor interface.
    3. Once you click this, you will be prompted to choose a structure for your new section. Select your desired column layout.
    4. After the section is added, you can drag and drop widgets into the columns to build your content.

    If the “+” icon to add a new section is not visible, or if you are encountering any other issues, please provide us with a screenshot of what you are seeing on your end. This will help us understand the problem better and provide you with a more accurate solution.

    We are committed to ensuring that your experience with our theme is smooth and enjoyable. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you require further assistance or have any additional questions.

    Best Regards,

    Hello, Kristina,

    We appreciate your prompt response.

    We have observed that your website currently displays a container (https://prnt.sc/wKEuXlRrRGhI) in lieu of the expected sections. This change appears to be a result of the recent update to the Elementor plugin, which introduced the container feature.

    Should you prefer to revert to the previous layout without containers, you have the option to disable this feature. This can be accomplished by navigating to the Elementor settings panel, selecting ‘Settings’, then ‘Features’, followed by ‘Flexbox Container’, and finally setting it to ‘Inactive’.

    Alternatively, if you wish to familiarize yourself with the new container functionality https://elementor.com/features/container/ , we recommend viewing online video tutorials that provide guidance on how to effectively utilize containers within Elementor.

    We trust this information will be of assistance to you.

    Best Regards,
    8Theme’s Team

    I added a section to the elementor menu, everything is fine. But the problem does not go away, although I do everything as usual. So far, all the elements are going vertically. Although I indicate horizontality. You may publish this page and see this issue when you open the published page. What am I doing wrong?

    If it’s not too difficult, can you fix this error yourself? And show me what the problem was

    I think the problem is with the theme settings. But I can’t figure out where exactly. Because on normal pages everything works fine

    This is a new link because I’ve been waiting for an answer for almost a day. Is it possible to solve this faster? I’ve been asking the same question for two days, no one has answered me yet.

    Hello, Kristina,

    Sorry for the delay in answering.

    We kindly request that you refrain from adding links such as https://prnt.sc/YD1rkC2ilWix to the public message area, which provide access to your site. This could allow any forum user to utilize them. Instead, please use the Private Content area for such links.

    Could you specify which page you are editing? We had requested a video to illustrate the issue you are experiencing, but we have not yet received it. Upon review, we have found that the static blocks are functioning correctly, which is why a video from you is essential for us to understand the specific behavior you are identifying as problematic.

    For instance, the “About Us” page utilizes sections because it is an older page. All new pages will use Containers, just as the new static blocks do, due to updates in Elementor and this is independent of our theme. We have previously explained how to disable containers and revert to sections everywhere: navigate to Elementor > ‘Settings’ > ‘Features’ > ‘Flexbox Container’ > set to ‘Inactive’.

    We have created a “test” page on your site for your review. This page employs containers in the same manner as the static blocks, as we have described to you.
    Please compare the next screenshots from the page and static block:
    static block – https://prnt.sc/1NuB5OKkdNvH https://prnt.sc/PrFkVn7R6QoN
    test page https://prnt.sc/0pJVAUl8qL7s https://prnt.sc/DsIuKWuU5-wV
    You will need to decide whether to disable containers and use sections or to consult the Elementor documentation to learn how to work with the new containers.

    We urge you not to disregard our recommendations and hope you find this information useful.

    If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Our support team is always available to assist you.
