Keep Sections Ordered in Elementor

  1. Open your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the page you want to edit, and click Edit with Elementor.
  2. In the Elementor editor, open the Navigator (right-click anywhere → Navigator, or click the Navigator icon at the bottom panel).
  3. Review the list of Sections in the Navigator. These appear as top-level items and represent the reading order of your page.
  4. Drag each section up or down in the Navigator until the structure follows a logical top-to-bottom sequence:
    • Hero/header section first,
    • Main content sections next in meaningful order,
    • Footer section last.
  5. Click on a section in the Navigator to highlight it on the canvas, then open the Advanced tab in the left panel.
  6. Assign an informative CSS ID or CSS Class (optional but helpful) such as “about-section” or “services-section” to support navigation and assistive tools.
  7. Check headings inside each section:
    • Ensure the section begins with an H2 (or the next appropriate heading level).
    • Use H3–H4 for nested content within the same section.
    • Avoid multiple H1s—keep one H1 at the top of the page.
  8. Ensure sections are not unintentionally nested:
    • In the Navigator, each top-level section should sit directly under the page node.
    • If a section appears inside another, drag it back to the top level.
  9. Check for layout confusion caused by columns or inner sections:
    • Inner Sections belong inside a Section, but should not replace main Sections.
    • If an Inner Section is being used as a main content block, convert it to a full Section by adding a new Section and moving widgets into it.
  10. Switch to Tablet and Mobile responsive modes using the bottom toolbar.
  11. Scroll through the mobile view to confirm the visual order still matches the Navigator order. If something appears out of order visually, reorder or adjust padding/margins to maintain clarity.
  12. Click Update to save changes, then preview the page and scroll from top to bottom to ensure the content sequence is predictable and logical.
