Key Takeaways

Reason

When you import a template in Elementor, exported with UiChemy, sometimes the SVG images might not show.

By default, WordPress or Elementor don’t allow uploading SVG files because of security reasons.

You have to enable the SVG file upload option in Elementor settings.

If not done, the SVG files will not be uploaded from your template and will be missing from your design.

Solution

So to fix this problem, you have to enable the SVG file upload option from Elementor settings.

To do so from the Dashboard, go to Elementor > Settings >Advanced.

On that page, select Enable from the Enable Unfiltered File Uploads dropdown and click on the Save Changes button.

Now, if you upload a template containing SVG images you will see them in the template.

Related Frequently Asked Questions

Why are SVGs missing when I import a template in Elementor?

SVGs may not show up in Elementor templates because WordPress restricts SVG uploads for security reasons. If the SVG file upload option isn't enabled in Elementor settings, the SVG images from your template won't be uploaded, resulting in missing visuals.

What common mistake do people make when working with SVGs in Elementor?

A common mistake is forgetting to enable the SVG file upload option in Elementor settings. Without this step, SVG images from your imported templates will be missing, leading to incomplete designs. Always check this setting before importing templates.

Are there any limitations when using SVGs in Elementor?

One limitation is that SVG uploads are not allowed by default in Elementor due to security concerns. You must enable the option for unfiltered file uploads to use SVGs. This is crucial for ensuring that your designs maintain their intended visual elements.

What should I do if my SVGs still don't show up after enabling uploads?

If SVGs still don't appear after enabling uploads, check if the SVG files are correctly included in your Figma design and ensure that the import process was completed without errors. Sometimes, re-exporting the design from UiChemy can resolve the issue.
