Questions

Do I need Elementor Pro?

No. LT Simple uses only the free Elementor plugin and the free Hello Elementor theme. The header and footer are part of the theme, so you do not need Theme Builder.

Can I change the crop frames on the hero photo?

Yes. The crops are drawn by the theme's CSS over the Image widget with the class lt-crop; swap the photo in Elementor, and the frames stay. The format shapes are Text widgets with a ratio class you can change.

Is it a gallery theme?

It is a portfolio for a photographer who takes commissions: selected work, the work by subject, commissions with rates and an enquiry form. Add more photos with the free Image and Gallery widgets.

Will my site look like the demo?

Yes, with Pro: Appearance > Demo import creates every page, the colours, fonts, menu, header and footer. The demo photos are replaced by placeholders you swap for your own.

What is the difference between Free and Pro?

Free has the design, header and footer, the About and Contact pages and the blog. Pro adds the home page, the Work and Commissions pages with their sub-pages, sample posts, one-click demo import, credit removal, updates and support. Pro Unlimited adds the AI kit.

I have the old LT Simple. Is this an update?

It is a new version 2.0 with a new design, built for free Elementor. Your current site keeps working; install 2.0 on a new site or a staging copy and import the demo there.
