Elementor v4 (also called the Atomic Editor) is a game-changer, and in this tutorial, I’ll show you exactly why. Get Elementor For Free: https://ferdy.com/elementor Hi, I’m Ferdy, and in this tutorial, you’ll learn how to work with Elementor v4 using a class-based workflow. That means: instead of styling every element over and over again (padding, gaps, colors, typography, alignment, buttons…), you create reusable classes once, and then you apply them anywhere across your website in seconds. What you’ll learn in this tutorial ✅ 1) The biggest shift in Elementor v4: Classes In v4 you can style things locally (only that one element) OR you can style with a class (reusable across your whole website). So I’ll show you how to: Create classes like flex-column, flex-center, gap-m / gap-l Create spacing systems like section-m / section-l Create reusable style classes like max-width-800, text-align-center Build a framework where you can literally type a few class names and your design is done Example: Apply section-m to add spacing top/bottom Apply flex-column to stack everything Apply flex-center to center it Apply gap-m for consistent spacing …and your messy layout becomes clean instantly. ✅ 2) Buttons become insanely fast (Primary Button system) I’ll build a Primary Button class step-by-step: Background color Typography color Border radius (I use REM) Hover state (background + text changes) Then I show you how to apply that class to any other button and instantly get the same design. And the best part: if you update the class later (for example, make the text white), it updates everywhere. ✅ 3) Local styles vs classes (and how overwriting works) Important concept: Class styling = your “global” system Local styling = quick overrides per element I’ll show you how you can apply a class and still overwrite something locally (and how to remove that override again). ✅ 4) Variables replace Global Colors (v4 color workflow) In Elementor v3 you used “Site Settings” and global colors. In Elementor v4 we use Variables. So I’ll show you how to: Create variables like orange, dark-blue, light-blue, text Use those variables everywhere instead of picking random colors Build a consistent color system you can scale ✅ 5) How to start with Elementor v4 (even if you don’t see it yet) I’ll show you how to get Elementor v4 by enabling the beta version inside WordPress: Install Elementor (free) Go to Elementor → Tools → Version Control Enable Beta Tester Go to Dashboard → Updates and update Elementor Then we create a new page and start building. ✅ 6) Atomic Elements vs “Old” Elements (v3) Elementor v4 introduces Atomic Elements (you’ll recognize them by the icon). They have a different panel: General Style Interactions And I’ll show you a critical rule: ✅ If you want to build with v4, start with Atomic elements — especially the Div Block. Pro tip: Don’t start by creating a flexbox/grid from the plus button. Instead, drag a Div Block first and build from there. ✅ 7) My workflow for building sections (Full width background + boxed content) Elementor v4 doesn’t give you the same “full width” / “boxed” toggle like before, so we do it with classes. I’ll show you how I structure sections like this: Wrapper (full-width background) Content container (boxed-1120) Spacing system (section-m / section-l) This makes your design consistent and scalable. ✅ 8) Responsive optimization (tablet + mobile) We’ll also make sure everything looks great on all devices: Change layout direction on smaller screens Fix background position (so faces don’t get cut off 😄) Keep spacing readable and consistent Extra tips in the video ✅ I included timestamps, so you can jump to any part of the tutorial instantly. ✅ If I go too fast, slow down YouTube playback speed. ✅ Use your keyboard arrow keys to jump back 5 seconds.

About This Video

Hello people, my name is Ferdy, and in this video I show you how to work with Elementor v4 (the Atomic Editor). The biggest shift is the class-based workflow: instead of styling every single element again and again, I create reusable classes once and then I apply them anywhere. I demonstrate it with a messy flexbox layout and then I clean it up in seconds using classes like section-m (spacing top/bottom), flex-column (stack items), flex-center (center everything), and gap-m / gap-l (consistent spacing). I also show practical utility classes like max-width-800 and text-align-center, so you can literally type a few class names and your design is done. Then I build a Primary Button class step-by-step: background color, typography color, border radius (I like working with REM), and a hover state where both background and text can change. The cool thing is: when you apply that class to other buttons, they instantly match—and if you update the class later, it updates everywhere. I also explain local styling versus classes (and how overrides work), plus the new v4 color workflow where “variables” replace the old global colors. Finally, I show you how to get Elementor v4 by enabling beta testing in Elementor → Tools → Version Control.
