Hi! I am trying to use Elementor to customize the Details page, but I am having no luck.

I created colums, to display some of the content side by side, but once I display the page the parallel layout is ignored.

Help would be highly appreciated!

Hello, i have exactly the same problem. im using the free elementor plugin and the hello theme.
Only GD Location page works, here i can edit everything with elementor…

You can use the Elementor Free page builder on the GD Archive Item and Location page templates.

You will need Elementor Pro Theme Builder feature for the GD Details, Archive, and Search templates.

Hi Alex, thanks for the clarification.

In fact, what I would like to accomplish are two things:

(1) to have the picture be much smaller. The “size” switch in the shortcode doesn’t seem to have any effect.

(2) and I would like to be able to put it next to the information, rather than above it.

Basically, I would like the section above the “tabs” to look like the Archiv item: smaller picture, basic info next to the picture.

Is that possible to accomplish with some shortcode?

And: Why does the “size” switch in the gd_images have no effect on the display size of the picture? Or rather, what effect does it have, if not that?

1. You can adjust your layout, like, the column width, to squeeze the space to decrease the area that the image can fill. Images will always grow into the available space.

2. Again, you can create columns with your builder.

The ‘right’ image will always be loaded by WP Automatically. The image size param is a suggestion to WP but WP will load the right size based on responsive size of the space the image will be filling.

Alright! Yes, that’s what I tried to do with the column and the page builder.

So, if I understand it correctly, without the theme builder, there is no way to style the details page that way?

Like, on the GD Archive Item page, I can use shortcode like [gd_archive_item_section type=’open’ position=’left’] to make a two-column layout, without using actual page layout.

This shortcode only works on archive items. But is there shortcode, that does the same thing to the Details page?

Well, you can always use CSS and HTML.

gd_archive_item_section is only for GD Archive item, correct.

Or you can use blocks …

Yes!! With WP Blocks it works! Oh, happy day!

I don’t understand though, why it doesn’t work with elementors columns. Is it maybe an Elementor issue? Have you had better results with Beaver Builder?

In the long run I would like to be able to use a page builder. The styling options of blocks are pretty limited, but for a beta version I can get by for now.

Is there a reason why it works with blocks, but not with elementor-made columns and containers?

All page builders use different ways, and WP blocks are part of WP, and page builders do not use WP blocks …

Well, with the theme builder it works like a charm now.
