Install Flipbox Addon for Elementor before looking for its widgets. You can install it from the WordPress plugin directory or upload the plugin ZIP from a trusted source.
Option 1: Install from the plugin directory
- Sign in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Open Plugins → Add New Plugin.
- Search for Flipbox Addon for Elementor.
- Confirm the plugin name, then select Install Now.
- When WordPress finishes installing it, select Activate.
Option 2: Upload the plugin ZIP
- Download the Flipbox Addon for Elementor ZIP from its official distribution.
- In WordPress, open Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin.
- Select Choose File and pick the plugin ZIP from your computer.
- Select Install Now and wait for WordPress to finish.
- Select Activate Plugin.
Confirm Elementor is active
- Open Plugins → Installed Plugins.
- Find Elementor. If it is installed but inactive, select Activate. If it is missing, install and activate Elementor before continuing.
- Find Flipbox Addon for Elementor and confirm it is active. The plugin source checks whether Elementor’s
elementor/elementor.phpplugin path is active and displays an admin notice when it is not.
Open the widget in Elementor
- Go to Pages → All Pages and edit a page, or create one from Pages → Add New.
- Select Edit with Elementor.
- Search the widget panel for Ultimate Flipbox, Post Flipbox, or Story Flipbox.
If installation does not work
- If WordPress rejects the ZIP, confirm you selected the plugin ZIP itself and check the upload limit reported by your host.
- If the widgets are missing, confirm both Elementor and Flipbox Addon for Elementor are active, then reload the editor.
- If activation shows an error, record the exact message and installed versions before changing server settings.
