How to Tag The Featured Image Widget for Figma to Elementor?

Key Takeaways

  • UiChemy allows tagging of a frame containing an image as an Elementor Featured Image widget directly from Figma designs.
  • Only the style of the dynamic Featured Image widget is exported, not the content.
  • A UiChemy Pro license is required to tag Elementor Pro widgets in Figma designs.

Table of Contents

If you are showing the featured image in your post or post listing design in Figma, then you can tag that element as an Elementor Featured Image widget directly from your Figma design using the UiChemy plugin.

So when you export the design as an Elementor template, that particular section will use the Featured Image widget.

What Can be Tagged?

A frame containing an image can be tagged as a Featured Image widget.

Note: Since this is a dynamic widget only the style will be exported not the content.

How to Tag?

Here, we’ll go with the Step by Step Method.

  1. First, select the Step by Step Method and click on the Start button.
  2. Select the top-level page or frame of your layout, then click on the Next button.
  3. Under the Widget Tagging Mode tab, select the Manual Widget Tagging Option.
  4. Next, under the Manage Auto Layout tab, you’ll see two options: It’s already in Auto Layout and Convert to Auto Layout. We’ll go with the first option.
  5. After that, under the Tag Widgets tab, choose the frame or container that contains your element (Widget). Then, search for the Featured Image widget from Elementor Pro in the UiChemy panel and select it. Here, you’ll see all the supported Elementor widgets.

Note: You need to have a UiChemy Pro license to tag Elementor Pro widgets.

On the next screen, you’ll get the information of which element you are tagging as what widget.

Then you’ll see widget specific tagging options.

  1. In the Image dropdown, the image will be auto-selected.
  2. Once done, click the Save button to complete the tagging, and you’ll see a Tagged successfully message.

Now, if you export the design, that element will use the Elementor Featured Image widget with your set style.

Note: Since this is a pro widget make sure the Elementor pro plugin is installed and activated. You might have to make some minor adjustments in the widget settings to match the design, especially those elements that are not tagged.

Related Frequently Asked Questions


What if the Featured Image widget doesn't appear after tagging?

If the Featured Image widget doesn't show up after tagging, ensure that the Elementor Pro plugin is installed and activated. Since the UiChemy Figma Plugin only exports the style and not the content for dynamic widgets, any missing settings or adjustments in the Elementor widget may prevent it from displaying correctly. Check the widget settings to align them with your design.

Can I tag other types of images in Figma for Elementor?

Only frames containing images can be tagged as a Featured Image widget using the UiChemy Figma Plugin. This means that if you have other image types or elements in your Figma design, they won't be converted to the Featured Image widget. For a complete list of supported Elementor widgets, refer to the supported Elementor widgets.

What is the best practice for tagging the Featured Image widget?

When tagging the Featured Image widget, select the top-level page or frame of your layout first. This ensures that the widget is correctly associated with the intended design element. Additionally, remember to use the Manual Widget Tagging Option under the Widget Tagging Mode tab for precise control over your tagging process.

Does tagging the Featured Image widget affect responsiveness?

Tagging the Featured Image widget using the UiChemy Figma Plugin maintains a 95% responsive accuracy across desktop, tablet, and mobile views. However, you may need to make minor adjustments in the widget settings after export to ensure the design matches your expectations, especially for elements that are not tagged.
