Hide the Edit With Elementor Button for User Roles

Written by Riza Maulana Ardiyanto on February 23, 2023.

If you are using Elementor, there will be an “Edit With Elementor” button on your post editing screen. This allows users to edit the post with the Elementor editor rather than the normal WordPress editor. This button is usually placed in the top left corner of the block editor.

One of our users wanted to hide this button for specific users.

Thanks to the PublishPress Capabilities plugin, it is possible to hide the Elementor button only for a specific user role.

PublishPress Capabilities can hide any element in the WordPress editor. We're going to use that feature to answer our customer's question. This screenshot below shows the “Edit with Elementor” button.

How to Show Gutenberg Blocks in Elementor

However, in most situations, you need to choose either Gutenberg or Elementor. The two systems are not very compatible with each other.

So we considered it a challenge this week when a PublishPress customer asked us if they could use the PublishPress Blocks plugin inside pages built with Elementor. After some research, we found that this is possible. I'm going to show you how to insert any Gutenberg block into Elementor layouts.
