From simple and useful to bloated and unnecessary

They turned one of the most popular Elementor addon plugins (Elementor Header and Footer) into a yet another bloat pack, that will now force itself into 2+ million WP sites.

New features include a bunch of unnecessary Elementor widgets that no one asked for. It will load the styles and scripts for those widgets by default. And of course, it adds new options page for UAE Lite, which has 3/4 of its screen space dedicated for up selling stuff.

Soon enough, there will be users with Essential Addons, Ultimate Addons, Premium addons, Happy addons and god knows whichever Elementor addons they will come up with next. At that point you might as well nuke the whole WP installation and start over.

Hi @juregolob, I wanted to share that the Header Footer Builder has always been at the core of Ultimate Addons for Elementor – Lite, helping web creators design dynamic headers and footers.

Alongside the Header & Footer Builder, we have already been offering the following widgets, designed to add dynamic content and enhance your headers, footers, or theme builder:
- Site Logo
- Retina Logo
- Site Title
- Site Tagline
- Navigation Menu
- Page Title
- Search
- Cart
- Copyright
In our latest updates, we’ve introduced three new widgets that align perfectly with this vision:
- Breadcrumbs
- Post Info
- Scroll to Top
What’s new in this update?

We’ve added a new enable/disable switch in the user interface, allowing you to turn off unused widgets. This helps improve website performance by loading only the features you need.

We understand that adapting to a new interface may take time, but this update improves the user experience by making the plugin more modern, stable, and secure.

Rest assured, this rebranding will not impact the product’s performance, support, or any of the features you rely on.

If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our support team. We’re always here to help!

Best Regards,
Ankush 🙂
