To create an Elementor plugin, you will need to follow these basic steps:
1. Create a new folder in your WordPress plugins directory with a name that reflects your plugin.
2. Inside this folder, create a new PHP file that will serve as the main plugin file.
3. Add the necessary metadata to your main plugin file, including the plugin name, version, description, author name, and author URI. You can also add other optional metadata like license, plugin URI, etc.
4. Define a class for your plugin and instantiate it in your main plugin file.
5. Inside your plugin class, use the Elementor API to add custom widgets, controls, and other elements to the Elementor editor.
6. Hook into relevant WordPress actions and filters to load your plugin code and register your custom Elementor elements.
7. Test your plugin to ensure that it works correctly and is compatible with the latest version of Elementor.

To reset your Elementor cache, you can follow these steps:
1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Elementor > Tools.
2. Under the “General” tab, click on the “Clear Cache” button.
3. A pop-up window will appear, asking you to confirm that you want to clear the cache. Click on “Yes” to proceed.
4. Once the cache is cleared, you will see a success message.
Note that clearing your Elementor cache will remove all stored data related to your website’s design and content. This includes widget settings, page and template layouts, and more. After clearing the cache, you may need to re-load your pages to see the changes take effect.
If Elementor is not showing changes you made to your website, there are a few possible reasons:
– Caching: Your browser or a caching plugin may be storing an old version of your website. Try clearing your browser cache or disabling the caching plugin temporarily to see if this resolves the issue.
– Server caching: Your server may be caching your website, preventing changes from appearing immediately. Contact your hosting provider to see if they can clear the server cache or adjust the caching settings.
– CSS caching: If you made changes to the CSS of your website, the changes may not appear immediately due to CSS caching. You can try adding a unique version number to your CSS file URL or disabling the CSS caching feature in your caching plugin.
– JavaScript errors: If there are JavaScript errors on your website, they can prevent Elementor from working properly. Check your browser console for any error messages and try disabling plugins that may be causing the errors.
– Theme conflicts: Some themes may not be fully compatible with Elementor, causing issues with displaying changes. Try switching to a default WordPress theme temporarily to see if this resolves the issue.
If none of these solutions work, you may need to contact Elementor support for further assistance.
