Authored quotation controls in Elementor
Quotation sets the words, the speaker and their role, a photo, the source title, address and year, the look, the quotation mark, whether the attribution sits below or beside the quotation and the gap, text before and after the words, text when there is no quotation, the quotation tag and an icon. The Style tab covers the box’s text, colour, alignment, background, border, radius and padding, the icon, and the quotation, speaker, role and source and accent colours and typography with photo size.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use authored quotation
A quotation is only useful when readers can see who said it and where, and Elementor’s text editor leaves attribution and citation markup to hand-written HTML. This widget puts the words in a blockquote with the source address as its cite, and the speaker, their role, the linked source title and the year in a figure caption, with a decorative quotation mark or icon and an optional photo, in a side bar, centred or card look.

Troubleshoot authored quotation
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is the source not a link?
The address is empty or does not start with http or https.
Why do I see two sets of quotation marks?
Remove the marks from your quotation, or turn off the decorative mark.
Why is the photo missing?
The image is attached to private or password-protected content.

No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
