Adding a widget

1. Create widgets/your-slug/ (lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens only).
2. Add widget.php with a class extending Elementor\Widget_Base.
3. Optionally add style.css and/or script.js. The plugin registers handle eefe-widget-your-slug for each file that exists—use that handle in get_style_depends() / get_script_depends().
4. Reload the Elementor editor.

Main plugin file rename

If you previously used extend-elements-for-elementor.php as the bootstrap file, switch WordPress to use extend-elements.php (deactivate the old entry if needed, then activate the plugin again).

Included widget

• Gradient Heading (widgets/gradient-heading/) — gradient text, typography, alignment, animation presets (Shimmer, Pulse, Wave, Float).

Requirements

• WordPress 5.0+
• Elementor installed and active
