Content Switcher Pro

How to set up and style the Content Switcher widget in Elementor.

Content Switcher shows one content block at a time and lets visitors change it with a toggle switch, segmented buttons, sliding pills or underline tabs. Each block can be text, an image or a saved Elementor template. Use it for monthly and yearly pricing, before and after views, or any content with two or more versions.

Part of: Bright Addons Pro. Before you start: Nothing for text and image content. To show Elementor layouts, create them first under Templates, Saved Templates.

Set it up

  1. Drag Content Switcher onto the page and open the Content section.

  2. Edit the two default items or add more. Give each one a Label and, if you like, an Icon and a Badge.

  3. Choose a Content Type for each item, then write the Content, pick a Template or choose an Image.

  4. Set which item starts open in Open by Default (item number).

  5. Open Switcher Settings and choose a Style and a Content Animation.

  6. To link several switchers, type the same Sync Group Name in each one.

  7. Style the toggle, labels, badge and content in the Style tab.

Questions and answers

How do I sync two Content Switchers?

Give both widgets the same Sync Group Name, for example pricing. Switching one switches the other.

Can I link straight to the second item?

Yes. With Open From URL Hash on, a link to the page ending in #switch-2 opens the second item, #switch-3 the third, and so on.

Can a switcher show a full Elementor layout?

Yes. Set Content Type to Saved Template and pick a template. Create templates under Templates, Saved Templates.

Will sliders or galleries inside a panel display correctly after switching?

The widget sends a window resize signal each time it switches, so widgets inside the new panel can recalculate their size.
