How to Tag The Post Excerpt Widget for Figma to Elementor?

Key Takeaways

  • UiChemy allows tagging elements as an Elementor Post Excerpt widget when exporting Figma designs.
  • The Step by Step Method requires selecting the top-level page and using Manual Widget Tagging to tag widgets.
  • Only the style of the dynamic Elementor Post Excerpt widget is exported, not the content.

Table of Contents

If you are showing post excerpts on the post template in your Figma design, then you can tag those elements as an Elementor Post Excerpt widget using the UiChemy plugin.

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

What Can be Tagged?

A frame containing a text can be tagged as an Elementor Post Excerpt widget.

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

How to Tag?

To do this, you can choose between two options: Step by Step Method or Express Conversion.

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 Post Excerpt 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 Text field, the text 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 Post Excerpt widget with your 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 my post excerpts aren't displaying correctly after tagging?

If your post excerpts aren't showing up as expected, ensure that you've selected the correct frame containing the text and tagged it as the Elementor Post Excerpt widget. Remember, only the style will be exported, not the content. If the Elementor Pro plugin isn't activated, the widget won't function properly.

What are the best practices for tagging the Post Excerpt widget?

When tagging the Post Excerpt widget, always ensure that the frame containing the text is correctly selected and that you choose the Manual Widget Tagging Option. This method gives you more control over the tagging process and helps prevent errors. Additionally, verify that the Elementor Pro plugin is installed and activated for proper functionality.

What happens if I skip tagging the Post Excerpt widget?

If you skip tagging the Post Excerpt widget, that section will not be converted into a dynamic widget in Elementor. Instead, it will be exported as a static element, losing the functionality of displaying dynamic post excerpts. Tagging is crucial for ensuring that your design behaves as intended in WordPress.

Are there any limitations when using the Post Excerpt widget?

The main limitation of the Post Excerpt widget is that it only exports the style, not the content. This means that while you can customize how it looks, the actual text displayed will depend on the content of your posts. Additionally, ensure you have a UiChemy Pro license to tag Elementor Pro widgets.
