# Getting Started

## Requirements

Dotjuice Elementor Tools requires **Elementor** (the free page builder plugin) to be installed and active. It doesn't require WooCommerce or ACF, but several widgets only appear once those plugins are active too — see [Finding your widgets](#finding-your-widgets) below.

## Finding your widgets

Open any page in the Elementor editor and look for the **Dotjuice** category in the widgets panel on the left. Every widget from this plugin lives there.

If a widget you expect to see is missing:

- **All WooCommerce-related widgets** (anything with "Woo" in the name, plus **Woo Taxonomy List**) only appear once **WooCommerce** is installed and active — even Woo Taxonomy List, which can be used for non-shop content like blog categories, only shows up with WooCommerce present. If you want a general-purpose taxonomy list widget on a site without WooCommerce, install WooCommerce or get in touch with support.
- The **Image Carousel Transform** widget only has a visible effect on pages that also use Elementor Pro's native Image Carousel widget elsewhere.

## Where the plugin's settings live

In your WordPress admin menu, under **Dotjuice**:

- **Elementor Tools** — the plugin's own dashboard (Getting Started, Widgets overview, System Status, Support)
- **Screenshot API** — required setup for the Screenshot Capture widget (see [Screenshot API Settings](screenshot-api-settings.md))
- **WooCommerce Hacks** — account page tweaks and product attribute colours (only visible with WooCommerce active — see [WooCommerce Account Settings](woocommerce-account-settings.md) and [Product Attribute Colours](product-attribute-colours.md))

## Recommended first steps

1. If you plan to use **Screenshot Capture**, set up your API key first — see [Screenshot API Settings](screenshot-api-settings.md). The widget won't display anything without it.
2. If you run a WooCommerce store, review [WooCommerce Account Settings](woocommerce-account-settings.md) — most stores end up wanting at least one of these tweaks (hiding unused account tabs, excluding a category from the shop page).
3. Browse the widget guides below for the ones relevant to your build.
