Custom Theme Widgets

Rhye comes with custom, carefully crafted widgets that you can easily use during page building. If you scroll down the widgets panel, you will see the Rhye widgets section. But before using them, let me explain what Static and Dynamic widgets are.

Static Widgets

In Static Widgets, the content is created directly on the page through the live page builder. Data is editable from the left panel or directly on the page.

Custom Theme Static Widgets

Dynamic Widgets

In Dynamic Widgets, the content is pulled dynamically from existing posts/pages. Data is not editable from Elementor. You need to edit your content through the admin panel to reflect changes on the pages.

Custom Theme Dynamic Widgets

Consider the next example. The Portfolio Masonry Grid widget pulls content dynamically from the theme's Portfolio Item custom post type. Editing options are far more limited; for example, you can’t edit the portfolio headings from here.

To edit portfolio items, you need to go to Admin Panel → Portfolio Items.

Edit your pages or custom post types from the admin panel

It's possible to alter the type of the displayed posts in dynamic widgets

Summary

• When you want to place simple content that is not tied to any Custom Post Type (doesn’t have a separate page in the admin panel) like a content block, team member, slider images, Google Map, etc., look for it in Static Widgets.
• When you want to display existing data on the page, like Portfolio Items, which means you already created pages or posts for that content before, use Dynamic Widgets.
