How To Use The Dynamic Tags Feature By Atomic Addons

The Dynamic Tags feature by Atomic Addons fills widget fields with live content from your site instead of fixed text: the current post's title or date, the site name, the logged-in user's details, custom fields, WooCommerce product data and more. Each tag updates by itself, so one design works for every post, product or visitor. It works with the free version of Elementor. This guide covers switching the feature on, inserting a tag, its settings and the tags you can use.

Enable the Dynamic Tags Feature

(Open the full-size image in a new tab)

Dynamic Tags is a Pro feature, so it needs Atomic Addons Pro; without Pro its card is locked. Switch it on from the plugin dashboard:

1. 1

   Go to WordPress Dashboard → Atomic Addons.

2. 2

   Click Features.

3. 3

   Find the Dynamic Tags card and turn its switch On.

4. 4

   Click Save Settings.

Insert a Dynamic Tag

(Open the full-size image in a new tab)

Select a widget in Elementor. Every field that accepts dynamic content has a Dynamic Tags icon — here, the Title field of a Heading widget.

1. 1

   Dynamic Tags icon: Click the icon next to the field.

2. 2

   Atomic Addons tags: Pick a tag from the list. The Atomic Addons tags are grouped under names that start with “Atomic Addons -”. Only tags that suit the field are listed: text tags for text fields, link tags for URL fields, image tags for image fields and so on.

Adjust the Tag's Settings

(Open the full-size image in a new tab)

The field now shows the tag instead of text.

1. 1

   Tag: Click the tag (or its wrench icon) to open its settings.

2. 2

   Settings: The options depend on the tag. Post Title can show the Current Post or a Selected Post you search for.

3. 3

   Advanced: Text tags have Before and After text, added around the value, and a Fallback shown when the value is empty. Many also have a Word Limit (0 means no limit).

4. 4

   Remove: Click × to remove the tag and type plain text again.

5. 5

   Live value: The preview shows the result straight away — here the page's own title, “AI Test Page”.

Link tags have a Fallback address, and image tags such as Featured Image a Fallback image, used when there is nothing to show.
