Layers is a theme, so just as Elementor works happily with almost all themes, Elementor integrates well with Layers. As with any good WordPress theme, you will find the Layer theme options in the WordPress Customizer. Here you can customize the Layer theme header and logo options, blog and footer options, menus, etc. If you need more design options, Elementor Pro lets you design completely custom headers, footers, posts and individual pages, files, and more.
Layer page builder widgets are no longer in WordPress Customizer. Instead, you will now find all the page building design aspects within Elementor.
