Control Styles

Elementor Core Intermediate

When you create new Elementor controls and need to register custom stylesheets, they must be registered using the wp_register_style() function and enqueued using wp_enqueue_style() function. To ensure that Elementor loads the stylesheets only in the editor, use the control enqueue() method.

Registering Control Styles

In the example below, we'll register stylesheets when creating new controls:

function my_plugin_register_control_styles() {
	wp_register_style( 'control-style-1', plugins_url( 'assets/css/control-style-1.css', __FILE__ ) );
	wp_register_style( 'control-style-2', plugins_url( 'assets/css/control-style-2.css', __FILE__ ), [ 'external-framework' ] );
	wp_register_style( 'external-framework', plugins_url( 'assets/css/libs/external-framework.css', __FILE__ ) );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_plugin_register_control_styles' );

Then, the control class will enqueue the styles:

class Elementor_Test_Control extends \Elementor\Base_Control {

	protected function enqueue(): void {
		wp_enqueue_style( 'control-style-1' );
		wp_enqueue_style( 'control-style-2' );
	}

}
