Introducing Elementor 3.31: Design Faster, Smarter, and More Beautifully

Elementor 3.31 has arrived — and it’s a big step forward for Editor V4, bringing a set of features that make building high-quality, accessible, and visually stunning websites easier than ever. From Variables and Filters to semantic markup and workflow enhancements, this release is all about giving you more control, more clarity, and more creative freedom.

A More Powerful Editor V4 Alpha

This update pushes the Editor V4 Alpha even further with scalable design systems, modern styling options, and smarter editing tools.
Whether you’re a designer aiming for pixel-perfect detail or a developer streamlining a large-scale site, these features are built to make your job faster and more intuitive.

Important: Editor V4 is still in Alpha — so use it only on test or staging sites.

How to Activate:

  1. Update to the latest Elementor version.
  2. In WordPress, go to Elementor → Settings → Editor V4 tab.
  3. Click Activate.

Build Consistent Design Systems with Variables

No more manually re-styling every element. Variables let you define colors, fonts, and other properties once, then apply them across your entire site.

  • Variables define the value (e.g., primary-color, button-font).
  • Global Classes define the scope of where those variables apply.

Example: Change your brand color in one Variable, and it automatically updates across every button, heading, or section that uses it.

🔹 Admin control: Admins can create, edit, and manage Variables.
🔹 Team-friendly: Editors and Authors can apply Variables but can’t alter them — keeping your design system safe.

Enhance Visuals with Built-in Filters

Elementor 3.31 adds 9 visual Filters directly to Editor V4:
Blur, Brightness, Contrast, Hue Rotate, Saturate, Grayscale, Invert, Sepia, Drop Shadow.

  • Stack multiple filters.
  • Adjust with unit-specific controls (percentages, pixels, etc.).
  • Integrate with Variables, Classes, and States.

This makes it easy to craft unique looks without touching CSS.

Go Beyond with Backdrop Filters

Backdrop Filters apply effects to what’s behind an element — enabling modern styles like glassmorphism.

Use it to:

  • Blur backgrounds behind transparent headers.
  • Create readable panels over videos or busy images.
  • Layer effects for refined, contemporary UI designs.

Tip: Works best with elements that have transparent backgrounds.

Smarter Class Management & Usage Insights

The updated Class Manager now shows a usage count for every Global Class.

  • Click the count to open the Locator Panel and see exactly where each class appears.
  • Search, rename, or remove redundant styles with confidence.

Perfect for teams and large projects with hundreds of utility classes.

Quickly See Inherited Styles

Editor V4 now displays muted placeholders for inherited styles — so you can instantly tell if a value comes from a Class, base style, or responsive breakpoint.
This small detail helps prevent accidental overrides and keeps your design system clean.

[Pro] Add Semantic Markup with Attributes

For Elementor Pro (Advanced plan+) users, the Attributes Repeater lets you add custom HTML attributes:

  • aria-* for accessibility.
  • data-* for analytics.
  • role for semantic clarity.

Ideal for developers optimizing performance, compliance, and accessibility.

New Divider Element for Clean Layouts

The new Divider Element is a semantic <hr> — perfect for separating sections without unnecessary code.

  • Fully responsive.
  • Easily styled with Classes.
  • Helps keep your DOM lean and maintainable.
