1. The Page Attribute > Template option is WordPress Template added by Elementor. It replaces the Theme templates which means there are no Theme Hooks.
2. Whereas Page Builder Container options use CSS Classes to adjust the default template and retains all Theme Hooks.
i disabled the styles and colors in elementor and i’m having no luck getting any custom styles from my child theme to be visible on my site. even body {color:red;} changes nothing. this is the first site i’ve created since the big elementor update. maybe you have additional tips for me?
