Build a real-estate listing page with a live mortgage calculator and a photo-gallery property card, a SaaS pricing page with a monthly/yearly toggle, a bento grid feature section, a filterable portfolio with a built-in lightbox, an FAQ accordion that emits FAQPage schema, or a podcast page with a sticky mini player and a sleep timer. Sentio Widgets for Elementor gives you 56 free Elementor widgets for the pages Elementor’s built-in widget set stops short of — countdowns, timelines, off-canvas panels, scroll-spy page navigation, maps, video carousels, and post grids with AJAX load-more.

Each widget loads only its own CSS and JavaScript on the pages where it is used, is keyboard-accessible to WCAG 2.1 AA, and is translation-ready.

Integrations

Sentio widgets read from, embed, or extend these platforms.

Elementor — every Sentio widget is native; Bento Grid and Off-Canvas use Elementor’s nested-container elements, so each cell or panel is a real drop target.
Google Maps — an interactive map with custom markers, style presets, and clustering, using your own Google Maps Platform API key.
YouTube and Vimeo — Media Playlist, Video Carousel, and Portfolio embed and control YouTube and Vimeo videos, with automatic thumbnail resolution.
Yoast SEO — the Yoast Breadcrumbs widget renders Yoast’s breadcrumb trail as a styleable Elementor widget.
Lottie — the Lottie widget plays Lottie/Bodymovin JSON animations from a URL or file, via the bundled Lottie Web player.
schema.org — Accordion emits FAQPage, Reviews and Testimonial Carousel emit Review and AggregateRating, Video Carousel emits VideoObject, and Property Card emits RealEstateListing.

PREMIUM extends this to WooCommerce, The Events Calendar, and Advanced Custom Fields; the payment providers Stripe, PayPal, and Venmo; the booking platforms Calendly, Acuity, TidyCal, SavvyCal, HubSpot, Zoom, Zencal, Motion, DaySchedule, YouCanBookMe, Google Calendar, and Calendar.com; and the social networks Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter / X, and Pinterest.

Free vs PREMIUM

All 56 free widgets are complete — every content and style control, no nag, no time limit, no locked settings inside a free widget. Sentio PREMIUM adds 99 additional widgets: WooCommerce (31), Events Calendar (10), ACF (10), schedulers, payment buttons, charts, and hero sliders.

Those 99 appear in your Elementor panel as locked stubs so you can see the full catalog while editing. The stubs are metadata only — slug, title, and category, from a single config file; no PREMIUM widget code (PHP, CSS, or JS) ships in this plugin. They cannot be dragged onto a canvas, render nothing on the frontend, enqueue no frontend assets, and appear nowhere in the WordPress admin. Clicking one opens a closable upsell card. See pricing

External services

Each service below is contacted only by a specific widget you place, or after an explicit opt-in.

Google Maps

Widget: Google Maps. When: your visitor’s browser loads https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js only if a Google Maps widget is on the rendered page and you have set an API key (per-widget field, or Elementor’s elementor_google_maps_api_key option). With no key the widget renders nothing and contacts nobody. Data sent: the API key you configured plus the standard Maps JavaScript API load parameters; markers, zoom, and styling are applied in the browser, so no other plugin or user data reaches Google. Google requires an API key for production traffic under its Maps Platform terms.

YouTube

Widgets: Media Playlist, Video Carousel, Portfolio — only when you configure a YouTube URL on one. Three request types, each carrying only the public video ID:

Thumbnail — https://img.youtube.com/vi/{video-id}/hqdefault.jpg, emitted as an <img> by Media Playlist and Video Carousel when you have not set a thumbnail manually, and fetched by the browser on page render.
Player iframe — https://www.youtube.com/embed/{video-id}. Portfolio injects it when a visitor hovers a video item or opens the lightbox; Media Playlist and Video Carousel create it through the API below.
IFrame Player API — https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api, loaded once for programmatic playback control. Video Carousel loads it when a visitor clicks a video; Media Playlist loads it as the widget initialises if its first track is a YouTube track, so such a page contacts YouTube on render, not only on play.

Terms: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms
Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Vimeo

Widgets: Media Playlist, Video Carousel, Portfolio — only when you configure a Vimeo URL on one.

Player iframe — https://player.vimeo.com/video/{video-id}. Portfolio injects it on hover preview or lightbox open; the other two create it through the SDK below.
Player SDK — https://player.vimeo.com/api/player.js, for playback control. Video Carousel loads it on click; Media Playlist loads it as the widget initialises if its first track is a Vimeo track.
Thumbnail lookup (server-side) — when no thumbnail is set manually, Media Playlist and Video Carousel call https://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url=https://vimeo.com/{video-id} from your server via wp_remote_get() with a 5-second timeout and silent failure, so an unreachable Vimeo leaves the thumbnail empty instead of breaking the page. The only data sent is the public Vimeo URL you configured; the thumbnail it returns is hosted on Vimeo’s image CDN and is then loaded by your visitor’s browser. Setting a thumbnail manually disables this call.

sentioaddons.com — telemetry (opt-in)

Nothing is sent before you consent. On activation a welcome screen offers a consent checkbox (pre-checked — uncheck it before saving, or press Skip, which forces consent off regardless) and an optional email field. On consent the plugin POSTs once immediately, then daily on a WordPress cron job (sentio_lite_telemetry_ping), to https://sentioaddons.com/wp-json/sentio-lm/v1/telemetry.

Data sent: plugin slug; plugin version; WordPress version; PHP version; coarse theme family (Astra / Divi / Hello Elementor / Default / Other — not the exact theme slug); site language; a SHA-256 hash of your site URL (one-way, used only to de-duplicate pings from the same site); your optional email if you supplied one; and per-widget placement counts — which Sentio widgets are on the site and how many times — read from Elementor’s _elementor_data postmeta. Your IP address is not sent by the plugin; country-level data, when needed, is derived server-side from the Cloudflare CF-IPCountry header at request time and is not persisted.

Opting out is one click at Sentio Version, with no confirmation step: it sends a DELETE carrying the site hash and plugin slug to https://sentioaddons.com/wp-json/sentio-lm/v1/telemetry/site, removing your site’s row from our servers, and unschedules the cron.

sentioaddons.com — backlink (per widget, default OFF)

This makes no network request. Each widget’s Advanced tab has a “Show Sentio backlink” switch, off by default; switched on for a widget instance, that widget renders a plain <a> to its page on sentioaddons.com at the end of its output. The URL appears in your page source and is fetched only if a visitor clicks it. Documented here for transparency.
