Elementor Beta (Developer Edition) vs ReactPress – Create React App for WordPress

Be part of our future releases By installing the Developer Edition plugin, Elementor users can now get a sneak peek of future features before they roll out. We invite you to participate and test features on our Developer Edition. This way, you’ll help us extend our ability to perfect our product and produce experimental and groundbreaking features. The Elementor Developer Edition gives you first access to Elementor’s newest features and improvements. Each Developer Edition release will contain experimental functionalities that developers will be able to use to get familiar with the next releases before they are published. We will use this plugin to validate new features and gain feedback before they are released. This is why we don’t recommend using it on live sites. We recommend using it on staging environments only, and backing up your entire website before updating.
