Resource directory controls in Elementor
Content sets the resources in a repeater (title, topic, link, format, description and where to find it), A to Z sorting, the topic for unsorted items, jump links, counts, the topic tag and topics side by side. The Style tab covers topic text and panels, resource titles, links, descriptions and format tags.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use resource topic directory
Help pages and member areas collect guides, downloads, videos and forms over time, and they end up as one long list that nobody can scan. Resource topic directory groups each resource under its topic, adds a format tag such as PDF or Video and a short note, and shows where to find printed items. Optional “jump to topic” links take readers straight to the group they need.
Member areas
Keep course handouts and forms in one tidy place.
Schools and clubs
List policies, forms and reading by subject.

Resource topic directory and Elementor alternatives

A long list of links

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot resource topic directory
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is a resource not linked?
Links must start with http:// or https://, or be a path on your site such as /guides/.
Why is a resource missing?
Rows without a title are skipped. Add the title.
Why are there no jump links?
They appear only when the directory has two or more topics.
Where did my untitled topic go?
Resources without a topic are listed under “Other resources”. You can rename it.
Resource topic directory plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Does it check that links work?
No. It checks the address format only and never contacts the linked site.
Can it open links in a new tab?
Yes. Use the link options, and screen readers are told the link opens a new tab.
Is it accessible?
Yes. Each topic is a labelled section with a real list, and the jump links sit in a named navigation.
Does it need JavaScript?
No. The directory is plain HTML.
