Platecraft Addons For Elementor Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Platecraft Addons brings 64 widgets, a Theme Builder and 57 dynamic tags to the free version of Elementor. Build a whole site – header, footer, blog, shop, cart and checkout – with full design control and without Elementor Pro. Made with restaurants, cafés and shops in mind, and just as useful for any business, blog or portfolio.
Why Platecraft
- No Pro needed – every widget, the Theme Builder and the dynamic tags work with free Elementor.
- Style every part – typography, colours, spacing, borders, shadows and hover states, separately for desktop, tablet and mobile.
- Light and self-contained – no chart, slider or animation libraries from other sites. A widget’s small CSS and JS files load only on pages that use it, and widgets you switch off are not loaded at all.
- Made for WooCommerce – product, shop, cart, checkout and account pages use WooCommerce’s own forms, so payment and shipping plugins keep working.
- Easy to find – all widgets sit together under “Platecraft”, right after Elementor’s Basic widgets, each with a small Platecraft mark.
Widgets
Basic
- Advanced Heading – highlighted words with a gradient, image or outline and a hand-drawn underline, circle or strike that draws itself in; a small line above and a big faded word behind.
- Dual Color Heading – two parts, each with its own colour, gradient or outline.
- Creative Button – 15 hover backgrounds, 11 text animations, attention effects, a spinning gradient border, click ripple and magnetic pull.
- Icon Box and Icon List – icons, images or numbers with fill, light, 3D tilt or shine on hover; lists in columns or a row.
- Accordion / FAQ – questions that open and close, with FAQ data for search engines.
- Counter and Progress Bars – numbers that count up, bars and circles that fill when they come into view.
Creative
- Marquee – an endless band of text, logos or saved templates that speeds up while the page scrolls.
- Animated Border Box – a spinning, beaming or flowing gradient border around any content.
- Countdown – to a date, to a time every day, an evergreen timer or the end of a product’s sale.
- Offer Banner, Rotating Text Badge and Image Grid (mosaic or masonry photos with a lightbox).
Showcase
- Content Slider – big slides with a title, text and buttons, or any saved template; fade, zoom, parallax, cube or flip, with a slow zoom on the picture and content that animates in.
- Chart – column, bar, line, area, pie and doughnut charts drawn by the page itself, with a legend and values on hover.
- Testimonial Slider (six designs), Team, Logo Grid and a Timeline that fills as the page scrolls.
General
- Contact Form – any fields in any widths. Every message is emailed to you and kept under Platecraft Submissions – who sent it, from which page and when – with replies by email, notes, CSV export and spam protection that needs no outside service.
- Popup – opens on a click, after some seconds, on scrolling or when leaving; designed with Elementor.
- Breadcrumb (with structured data), Search Form (a box or full screen) and Share Buttons.
Shop (WooCommerce)
- Product Grid and Category Grid – grids or carousels with tabs, AJAX add to cart and pagination.
- Mini Cart – a side panel or dropdown with a “free delivery from …” progress bar.
- Cart, Checkout and My Account – WooCommerce’s own pages in a new layout: totals beside the products, − / + buttons, a cart that updates by itself, an account menu with icons and your own words.
- Products Toolbar and a WhatsApp Order Button that writes the product name, price and link into the message.
Product page
- Product Title, Price, Add to Cart (variations and − / + buttons), Rating, Stock, Meta, Short Description, Tabs, Badges and a Product Gallery with thumbnails, swipe and lightbox.
Blog and archive

- Archive Title, Short Description, Post Meta, Featured Image, Author Box, Post Navigation and Term List.
Site and Theme Builder
- Nav Menu (dropdowns, and a side panel or full-screen menu on phones), Site Logo, Site Title, Copyright (the year updates itself) and Post Content.
Menus and business
- Food Menu and Tabbed List – price lists with dotted lines, diet tags, sizes, old prices and photos.
- Hover Image Menu, Field List and Product Details – options, extras, ingredients and allergens from a built-in product tab, from ACF / Secure Custom Fields or typed in.
- Opening Hours, Open Status (“Open now / Closed”, right on cached pages too) and a Reservation Form whose times follow your opening hours; bookings are kept under Platecraft Bookings.
Theme Builder
Design the header, footer, single post or page, archive, search results, 404 page, product, shop, cart, checkout and My Account page with Elementor, then choose where each one shows – the entire site, some pages, a category, an author – with exceptions and a priority. Sticky and transparent headers. Works with any theme, classic or block. While you design, pick the post, product or category the template shows under ⚙ Settings Preview.
Dynamic Tags
57 dynamic tags for any Elementor field with the stack icon, with or without Elementor Pro: post, archive, site, author, visitor, comments, custom fields and ACF, links (call, email, WhatsApp, maps, log in / out), WooCommerce (price, sale badge, stock, rating, live cart count …) and Platecraft (open a popup, opening hours of a day). Text tags have Before, After and Fallback. Switch groups off under Platecraft Dynamic Tags.
