Using Dynamic Tags in Elementor
Dynamic Tags in Elementor allow you to insert dynamic content into your designs — content that updates automatically based on the page, post, or context being viewed. This feature is extremely useful when building reusable layouts like custom page templates or intros.
What Are Dynamic Tags?
Dynamic Tags in Elementor are smart placeholders that automatically pull in data from your WordPress site. For example, instead of writing a static page title, you can insert a dynamic tag that displays the actual title of the current page.
You can insert dynamic tags into most Elementor widgets that have a text, image, or link field. This feature is extremely useful when building reusable layouts like custom page templates or intros.
How to Use Dynamic Tags
Open the widget settings in Elementor (e.g. a Heading or Image widget)
Look for the Dynamic Tags icon (
database symbol) next to a fieldClick the icon to open the list of available tags
Choose the tag you want to use (e.g. Post Title)
The field will now display the dynamic content when previewed or published
