Best Practices for Global Widgets

• Strategic Use: Only create Global Widgets for elements you plan to use consistently across your website, like headers, footers, call-to-actions, or contact information.
• Regular Backups: When you update a Global Widget, it affects multiple pages. Always back up your site before making significant changes.
• Name Clearly: Give your Global Widgets clear and descriptive names. This will prevent confusion when managing multiple widgets.

Troubleshooting

If you face issues with Global Widgets:

• Caching Issues: Clear your site's cache and check again. Sometimes, a caching plugin might prevent changes from appearing immediately.
• Check for Updates: Ensure both JupiterX and Elementor are updated to their latest versions.
