描述
Sentio Widgets for Elementor is a free, lightweight Elementor addon that adds 53 fully-featured widgets — Accordion, Tabs, Price Table, Countdown, Reviews, Google Maps, Ken Burns slider, and more. It is built to be modular and fast: every widget loads only its own CSS and JavaScript, so your pages stay lean.
Documentation | Upgrade to PREMIUM
Why Sentio?
- Lightweight and modular — per-widget asset loading means a page only loads the CSS and JavaScript for the widgets actually on it. There is no monolithic frontend bundle.
- Accessibility-first — widgets follow WCAG 2.1 AA patterns: keyboard navigation, ARIA landmarks, visible focus indicators, live-region announcements, and prefers-reduced-motion support.
- Translation-ready — every interface string is localizable through the
sentio-widgets-for-elementortext domain. - Genuinely free — all 53 widgets are complete, with no nag screens, no time limit, and no locked controls.
Sentio widgets appear under the Sentio category in the Elementor widget panel.
The Elementor widget panel also displays 99 additional widgets from the Sentio Addons for Elementor PREMIUM edition, shown with a lock badge. These are visible-only stubs — discovery surfaces, not feature gates. The 53 free widgets in this plugin are fully functional with no nag, no time limit, no missing controls, and no tier-based throttling. The plugin remains free, GPL-licensed, and complete on its own.
- Have zero frontend impact. The stub widgets only appear in the Elementor editor’s widget panel for the editing user. Locked widgets cannot be dragged onto a canvas, never render any markup on the public-facing frontend, and never enqueue any frontend CSS or JavaScript. A site visitor will never see, hear, or download anything related to a locked widget.
- Do not gate any of the 53 free widgets. Every free widget ships with its complete control set — every style tab, every content option, every responsive setting. There is no “upgrade to unlock this control” experience inside any free widget. The PREMIUM edition adds additional widgets, not additional controls on existing free widgets.
- Ship no underlying widget code. The locked entries are metadata-only stubs (slug + title + category) loaded from a single config file (
includes/config/locked-widgets.php) and rendered by a generic stub class. None of the 99 PREMIUM widget implementations (PHP, CSS, or JS) ship in this plugin’s ZIP. - Are visible by design and dismissable in practice. When a visible stub is clicked, an upsell card opens explaining the PREMIUM widget; the card has a clear close button. Users who do not want to see the stubs at all can simply ignore them — they do not nag, do not auto-open, do not interrupt page-builder workflows, and do not appear anywhere in the standard WordPress admin (only inside Elementor’s widget panel during editing).
- Are honestly named and categorized. Each stub uses the same display name and category that the real PREMIUM widget would use, so users searching the panel for a familiar widget name see a clear “available in PREMIUM” lock indicator instead of an empty result. The lock badge is unambiguous: this widget exists in PREMIUM, click to learn more, no purchase required to keep using LITE.
The complete Sentio widget library
Sentio LITE ships the 53 widgets marked (Free) below — all fully functional, with no locked controls. The widgets marked (Premium) belong to Sentio Addons for Elementor PREMIUM and appear in your editor as the locked discovery stubs described above.

常见问题
-
Does this plugin require Elementor?
-
Yes. This is an Elementor addon. Elementor must be installed and active. Elementor 3.20 or newer is recommended; tested up to 3.25.
-
Does it work with Elementor Pro?
-
Yes. Sentio widgets coexist with Elementor Pro and any other Elementor addon plugin. There is no conflict.
-
This LITE edition includes 53 free widgets and is what you get from WordPress.org. The PREMIUM edition (Sentio Addons for Elementor PREMIUM) adds 99 more widgets covering WooCommerce, The Events Calendar, Advanced Custom Fields, schedulers, payment buttons, advanced data visualization, and additional creative and hero widgets. PREMIUM is a separate paid plugin distributed at sentioaddons.com and is not available through WordPress.org.
-
Why do I see locked widgets in the Elementor panel?
-
The 99 PREMIUM widgets are visible as locked stubs in your Elementor widget panel so you can see what is available in the PREMIUM edition without leaving the editor. Locked widgets show a lock badge, cannot be dragged onto the canvas, and open an upsell card when clicked. They have no runtime effect on your site and never render any frontend output in the LITE edition.
-
How do I disable the backlink to sentioaddons.com that some widgets show?
-
The backlink toggle defaults to off in the LITE 2.0 edition. To verify or change it on a specific widget, edit the widget in Elementor, open the Advanced tab, and check the “Show Sentio backlink” toggle. The backlink only renders if the toggle is on for that widget instance.
-
Why does the welcome screen ask for my email?
-
The email field is optional. If you provide one, we may use it to notify you about important plugin updates such as security fixes or breaking changes; we do not send marketing email through this channel. You can use the plugin fully without providing an email — leave the field blank, or skip the welcome screen entirely with the Skip button.
-
Can I use Sentio LITE on a multisite installation?
-
Yes. You can activate the plugin per-site or network-wide. Telemetry consent and welcome flow are per-site.
-
Is the plugin translation-ready?
-
Yes. All UI strings use the
sentio-widgets-for-elementortext domain. Translation files (.po/.mo) auto-load from WordPress’s standard translations directory atwp-content/languages/plugins/. -
How do I report a bug?
-
Open a thread in the WordPress.org plugin support forum, or email support@sentioaddons.com with steps to reproduce.
-
Does the plugin collect any data?
-
Only if you opt in at activation. The welcome screen presents a clear consent toggle (default checked, but you can uncheck it before saving) plus an optional email field. The exact data fields collected and the opt-out path are described in the External services section above. No data is sent before you grant consent.
-
How do I uninstall cleanly?
-
Deactivate the plugin via Plugins Installed Plugins, then click Delete. WordPress removes the plugin files. Settings stored in the
wp_optionstable use thesentio_*prefix; if you want to fully purge the plugin’s footprint, you can delete those options manually after uninstall. -
Will Sentio slow down my site?
-
No. Sentio uses per-widget asset loading: each widget’s CSS and JavaScript load only on pages where that widget is actually placed. There is no global frontend bundle, so a page only ever downloads the code for the widgets it uses.
-
Do I need any coding skills?
-
No. Every widget is configured visually in the Elementor editor with standard content and style controls. The optional Shortcode widget (and the PREMIUM Custom HTML widget) are there if you do want to drop in your own code.
-
Will it work with my theme?
-
Yes. Sentio widgets are standard Elementor widgets and work with any Elementor-compatible theme, including Hello Elementor, Astra, Divi, and most others. Requires Elementor 3.20 or newer.
-
How is Sentio different from other Elementor addon packs?
-
Sentio is built lightweight and modular from the ground up. Instead of forcing one large CSS/JS bundle onto every page, each widget owns and loads only its own assets, and accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) is treated as a baseline requirement rather than an afterthought.

更新日志
2.0.3 — 2026-05-30
This release removes all admin notice suppression code per the WordPress.org plugin review.
- Removed 231 lines of code that suppressed third-party admin notices on Sentio admin screens via remove_action() calls on admin_notices, in_admin_header, and related hooks. Standard WordPress notice behavior is now restored across all Sentio admin pages.
- Removed CSS rules that hid third-party plugin notice elements (Freemius, Jetpack, Yoast, etc.) when they appeared inside Sentio admin layouts. Foreign notices now render normally at their natural injection points.
- No replacement suppression mechanism added. Users will see standard WordPress admin notices from core, security plugins, and other addons as designed.
2.0.2 — 2026-05-20
This release addresses the inline block finding from the WordPress.org plugin review.
- Refactored admin page CSS into a single registered stylesheet enqueued via wp_enqueue_style() on Sentio admin screens, replacing prior per-page conditional enqueueing that did not handle JavaScript-driven tab navigation correctly.
- Extracted inline style attributes from the Locked Widget render output to a dedicated stylesheet (assets/css/widgets/locked-widget-notice.css), registered as a Sentio handle and auto-enqueued via Elementor’s get_style_depends() pattern. Render output now uses BEM-style class names instead of inline style attributes.
- Improved CSS class name escaping by using sanitize_html_class() for class identifiers per WordPress canonical patterns.
2.0.1 — 2026-05-13
This release addresses all feedback from the WordPress.org plugin review.
- Replaced 73 instances of output requiring escaping with canonical wp_kses(), tag_escape(), and esc_*() patterns. Escaping now happens at every output site, not at variable construction, per the “escape late” principle.
- Added per-field sanitization for the AJAX POST settings handler in the Posts widget. Each of the ~40 settings fields now receives context-appropriate sanitization (absint, sanitize_key, tag_escape, in_array whitelist) at the JSON-decode boundary.
- Refactored four direct database queries to use WordPress core APIs: comment counting now uses get_comments(), WooCommerce product enumeration uses wc_get_products(), and The Events Calendar venue/organizer lookups use get_posts().
- Replaced one variable-based translation argument with static literal __() calls via a translation lookup table, so translation tooling can extract strings correctly.
- Added nonce verification before processing form data in admin pages, including refactoring the admin page router to use get_current_screen() instead of $_GET parameters.
- Prefixed file-global variables in admin templates with the sentio_ prefix per WordPress naming conventions.
- Removed phpcs:ignore suppression comments throughout the plugin and addressed each underlying issue with real code changes rather than suppression.
- Removed the debug_log() development helper from production code paths.
2.0.0
- 53 free widgets organized across content, marketing, posts and dynamic content, navigation, media, and tools.
- 99 additional PREMIUM widgets shown as locked stubs in the Elementor widget panel; clicking a locked widget opens an upsell card.

- WCAG 2.1 AA compliance across newly-authored widgets (keyboard navigation, ARIA landmarks, focus indicators, live-region announcements, prefers-reduced-motion respect). Pre-existing widgets are being retroactively audited.
- Consent-gated daily telemetry phone-home — opt-in at activation, one-click opt-out at any time from Sentio Version. See External services above for full data-field disclosure.
- Updates delivered through the WordPress.org core updater.
- Translation-ready: all UI strings localizable via the
sentio-widgets-for-elementortext domain.
