Smart Tokens

Smart Tokens is a lightweight {{token}} placeholder system for Elementor. Type something like {{post.title}} or {{user.email}} into practically any text field, and it’s replaced with the live value when the page renders — no dynamic-tags menu, no extra widget required.

Inserting a token

There are two ways to insert a token while editing in Elementor:

• Token picker: an “Insert Token(</>)” icon button appears in the title row of any supported control. Clicking it opens a floating Smart Tokens panel with a search box and a scrollable, categorized list of tokens — each showing its label, {{token.key}} syntax, and description. Clicking a token inserts it into the field you opened the panel from.
• Inline autocomplete: type {{ inside any supported text field to open a live, filterable dropdown right under the cursor. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to highlight a token, Enter or Tab to insert it, or Escape to dismiss the dropdown.

Where Tokens Work

Smart Tokens work in: plain Text inputs, URL inputs, Search inputs, Textarea/code controls, and Custom CSS ID, Custom CSS Classes, and Custom Attributes fields.

They do not work in: Number, Color, Select/Dropdown, Media/Image, or WYSIWYG (rich text editor) controls — these aren’t free-text fields, so there’s nowhere for a {{token}} string to resolve.

Things to know

• Only lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, and dots are valid inside {{ }}. Filters, fallback values, or conditional syntax (e.g. {{user.name ?? "Guest"}}) are not supported.
• Escaping is automatic and context-aware — Smart Tokens applies the correct escaping whether the token is used in normal text, a URL, or an HTML attribute, so you don’t need to add your own.
• Inside a listing/loop widget, a token like {{post.title}} correctly re-resolves for each item as the loop advances.
• Smart Tokens is a Pro feature and can be turned on or off from the plugin’s Modules screen (enabled by default). The ACF and WooCommerce token groups additionally require those respective plugins to be active.
