== Description ==

Huge Addons for Elementor is a premium-quality toolkit of Elementor widgets and blocks designed to help content creators, designers, and developers build beautiful, interactive pages without writing any code. Each widget is optimized for performance and flexibility, offering a wide range of layout, styling, and animation options that integrate seamlessly with the Elementor editor. Whether you're showcasing products, building portfolios, or adding dynamic media, Huge Addons gives you the tools to elevate your site in minutes.

**Core Widget Collection**

The plugin ships with a broad selection of both content‑focused and media‑rich widgets. All widgets are:

* **100% responsive** – mobile, tablet and desktop layouts adapt automatically.

* **Flip Box** – two‑sided boxes that flip on hover, perfect for feature highlights, team bios, or pricing tables.
* **Product Carousel** – (new) showcase WooCommerce products in a fully responsive slider with sale badges, ratings and add‑to‑cart buttons.

***Media & Interactive Widgets***
* **Huge Advanced Image Gallery** – build stunning, filterable galleries with lightbox, masonry, justified and slideshow modes.
* **Lottie Widget** – insert lightweight, scalable Lottie animations using a JSON file or URL; controls for speed, loop and interaction.
* **Video Popup** – open YouTube/Vimeo or self‑hosted videos in a customizable modal overlay.

All widgets are fully responsive and designed for easy use with Elementor.

== Installation ==

=== Minimum Requirements ===

* WordPress 6.5 or later
* PHP 7.4 or later
* MySQL 5.0 or later

=== Recommended Environment ===

* PHP 8.1+ for best performance and security
* MySQL 5.6+ or MariaDB equivalent
* Elementor (free) 3.15+ – required for all widgets to function

=== Quick Setup ===

1. Upload the entire `huge-addons-for-elementor` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via the WordPress plugin installer.
2. Activate the plugin from the **Plugins** screen.
3. Open the Elementor editor on any page; new widget categories labeled **Huge Addons** will appear in the sidebar.
4. Drag and drop widgets onto your layout and configure options directly in Elementor’s panel.

*Tip:* The plugin only enqueues scripts/styles when you place a widget on the page, keeping your front end fast.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need Elementor to use these widgets? =
Yes – Huge Addons is an extension for Elementor. Install the free version of Elementor first, then activate Huge Addons.

= Are the widgets mobile friendly? =
Absolutely. Every widget has responsive controls built into the Elementor settings, allowing you to adjust text size, spacing and visibility per device.

= Will the plugin slow down my site? =
No. Scripts and styles are only loaded on pages where a Huge Addons widget has been used. Unused widgets have zero impact.

= Can I translate the widget labels? =
Yes. The plugin is fully localization‑ready; generate or edit the `.pot` file in `languages/` to provide translations.

= How do I report a bug or request a feature? =
Head to the support section on the WordPress.org plugin page or open an issue on the GitHub repository (link in the plugin’s dashboard).
