Transcripts

here's a pretty exciting news for a lot

of Elemental users out there with the

release of version 3.24 you can now

finally get rid of all of those

Elemental AI nags that you see on your

screen but there is a little catch and I

will show you right now so let's Jump

Right

In Here we are on the WordPress

dashboard in the plug area and I have

currently installed Elementor version

3.23.18

if you've watched Paul's video which I

will link to in the description or you

have used Elementor for a certain amount

of time you would know that there are so

many areas where Elemental keeps popping

up with their Elemental AI for example

if you go to the

media and then you try to edit one of

your pictures you'll see edit with

Mentor AI if you go into any of the

pages so if I go to Pages then I go into

my

homepage and I try to edit one of these

widgets so let me click on this widget

you see edit with elemental AI so there

are lots of places that the elemental AI

keeps popping up even when you try to

drop in an image so an image

widget you would see this create with AI

and so many places that the AI just

loves popping up but thankfully now I'll

show you when I install Elementor 3.24

what the changes are whenever you want

to install the beta version of Elementor

in your staging site it has to be in

your staging site go over to Elementor

then tools and go over to Version

Control and simply say you want to

become a beta tester so I'll go ahead

and click enable then I'll save

changes I can close this window once I

do that

after a while you'll be able to install

the updates so you might as well go to

dashboard

updates and see if there's any update if

there's none you go ahead and refresh

the page again so let me go ahead and

refresh

it and now I get my update so I'll go

ahead and install the first

update so the first update is installed

but that's just the beta for the first

one which is the free so you go back to

that updates page

again and you should see the second

update which is for the elemental Pro so

I'll go ahead and install

it so now I have the beta versions of

both of them installed which you can

confirm from going to the plugins area

installed plugins and at the moment I

have elemental version

3.24 beta 3 and Elemental pro version

3.24 beta 6 so that means the final

version will soon be released so now

comes the question of how do we disable

the elemental AI if you go over to

Elemental settings and then features and

try to look for where to disable the AI

you wouldn't find it here so that is the

sneaky beit that I was talking about the

way you disable the elemental AI is

quite not so straightforward because I

think they want to truly make sure that

people get to see the AI as much as

possible so for now they've only allowed

it to be disabled on a user basis so you

have to come over to your users then go

to your

profile and under that you'll be able to

see where you can disable the

AI and if you want to disable noes as

well you can disable your noes then I'll

go ahead and update my

profile and now once I've done that if I

come over back to the

media I check my media you see no more

build with AI if I go into my page

Pages come over to the homepage edit

it you see if I click on any widget

there is no AI button anywhere anymore

if I go to my

image there is no edit with AI so that's

how you can get rid of all AI functions

from your Elemental website but it only

works on a user basis so you can disable

for your own user but then your clients

will still get to see it so so you'll

have to disable it for every user on

your page on an individual basis maybe

in the future they will get an option to

disable it sitewide but for now you can

only disable it on a user basis so

that's it for the elemental AI the other

things you have to watch out for is that

now some features have been activated by

default so if you go back to your

Elemental

settings and then let me go back to the

page go under Elemental settings and

then

features one feature that has been

merged to core is called the improved

CSS loading and they've promised that it

has been fixed with all the bugs because

there were some issues that were

happening that were causing problems

with like cashing and some other things

but they've said that it has been fixed

and now it has been merged to core so

some other things are now active by

default as well the elemental element

cashing the optimized control loading

and some other features they've all been

given stable status and the some of them

have been Meed to call and some of them

have been just activated by default in

new websites for example the top buy

experiment if you install 3.24 now it

should be active by default so yeah that

are some of the features if you want to

see other features I'll leave a link to

imran's video where he talked about all

the other things like the floating

buttons and some other things that

Elemental released but I was just

excited to see that the elemental AI we

can now disable it because I'll be

honest I don't use the AI in fact I

don't use AI that much apart from

correcting my grammar I don't really

rely on AI that much but yeah that's it

so thanks for watching and I'll see you

in the next one bye
