I dig this guy's accent! He's also directly to the point. Thanks Mr Instructor, you helped a noob immensely with this.

amazing how this feature doesn't even exist and yet you managed to make a tutorial on how to use it, congrats!

Hi guys! Fantastic stuff! Been using Elementor over 2 years on various projects now. Please add more responsive controls such as smartphone & tablet orientation. Having an option to have multiple breakpoints for each device types ( in preview) would be a godsend!

I just shocked, We are using elemntor in our company for 2 years and we never knew about this feature, amazing job!!! Thansk for the video toooo!

Unfortunately this absolute position (which probably should be called 'relative') doesn't work after zooming and the website becomes disjointed.

I myself are very interested in all the cool background you make for your demo video's.

Could you guys perhaps do a video on that? (Colum styling etc)

Would be awesome!

Saves my time on making a floating table of content. Well done Elementor teams!!!

Hiyoo! O/ So if the object still scrolls with the page having Custom Positioning Fixed, whats wrong?
[EDIT]: Changed the theme, did a minor change on the page with elementor so I could press update, and now it works.

Such a simple looking new feature but it fundamentally changes web design for WordPress. Well done Elementor. 🔥🏆

Is it possible to change the layers on this? Meaning I want it to be moved to the back of the page so it doesn't block/disable buttons I need to be clickable. Right now I have a bokeh png floating over text and a button but it disables it.

Does this only work in elementor pro, the fixed position is not working for me.. Any thoughts?

[fatemefouladkar]

hi . I've got a problem I've been struggling with over the last 2 days. i use the absolute positioning for an image element.
but the problem is, whenever i change the size of the screen, the position of the element changes . i know i can do the things on tablet and mobile forms, but what about different sizes on desktop screen ? I'd be so grateful if anyone helps me .

Why I can't get my transparent background .png to actually show up as "transparent" in the image box? It just fills in a standard background (white)

Hey, could you help me about the custom positioning. My custom positioning button is buried by image carousel so that it can not appear above the image carousel, please help.

[acradis]

can fixed elements stay fixed until a certain point in the page? and then for example change to a different element? (like from a light logo to a dark logo, you get the idea)

I have a question everytime I edit my website in desktop mode it changes in mobile mode how do I stop that?

[cecilelebleu]

Great! Less CSS ;)
I love Ziv's accent, btw! Sounds like scottish but not quite. It's a very interesting, calm, and clear voice to explain a video!
