Getting Started

Requirements

Dotjuice Elementor Tools Pro requires:

  • The free Dotjuice Elementor Tools plugin, installed and active — Pro is an add-on, not a standalone plugin.
  • Elementor (required by the free plugin).
  • WooCommerce, for every WooCommerce-related widget (all of them except ACF Frontend Form and PDF Viewer).
  • Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), only for the ACF Frontend Form widget.
  • Elementor Pro, only for Woo Quick View's popup and the EspoCRM Lead Capture integration (Forms is an Elementor Pro feature).

Activating your license

Before any Pro feature works, you need to activate your license key. Go to Dotjuice → Pro Licence in your WordPress admin and enter the key from your purchase email. See Activating Your License for the full walkthrough, including what each status message means and what to do if activation fails.

Until your license is active, Pro widgets won't appear in the Elementor panel and watermarks stay on Screenshot Capture — this is expected, and resolves as soon as your key is activated.

Finding your widgets

Once your license is active, open the Elementor editor and look in the Dotjuice category — your Pro widgets appear alongside the free plugin's widgets there, each carrying a small Pro badge in the panel.

If a specific widget is missing:

  • All WooCommerce widgets need WooCommerce active.
  • ACF Frontend Form needs Advanced Custom Fields active.
  • PDF Viewer has no plugin dependencies at all beyond your Pro licence.
  • Woo Quick View needs Elementor Pro for its popup functionality — without Elementor Pro, its button falls back to a plain link to the product page instead of opening a popup.

Integrations

  1. Activate your license (above).
  2. If you're setting up product filtering, read Woo Product Filter in full before building your first filter group — it has several settings that interact with each other.
  3. If you're setting up Quick View, read Woo Quick View — it's a two-widget system and needs a specific setup order.
