Elementor Controls Reference

1. Controls Overview

Controls are the fields in the Elementor editor panel that allow users to configure widgets. Every control must live inside a section.

Basic pattern:

$this->start_controls_section('section_id', [
    'label' => esc_html__('Section', 'textdomain'),
    'tab' => \Elementor\Controls_Manager::TAB_CONTENT, // or TAB_STYLE
]);

$this->add_control('control_id', [
    'label' => esc_html__('Label', 'textdomain'),
    'type' => \Elementor\Controls_Manager::TEXT,
    'default' => '',
]);
