FAQ

Where is the Global Widget stored?

Elementor has not stored any widgets in the database. If you want to create a custom widget, you need to create a plugin. All widget source code is stored in a plugin.

Where do section data and all HTML go?

There are two places that store this data.

The first one is in `wp_post` in the field `post_content`. This is the final output. So, all the data here is in HTML syntax. Try using `SELECT * FROM `wp_posts` WHERE id = <your_post_id>` 

The second one is in `wp_postmeta` with `meta_key='_elementor_data'`. This data is shown in JSON format, which is used by Elementor to manipulate HTML output on the final output that we explained before.
