FAQ
Which TB - Author Box options need King Addons Pro?
Controls marked with the Pro icon in this widget’s PHP. King Addons Pro is a separate license from Elementor Pro.
Why is TB - Author Box empty on a normal page?
Theme Builder widgets read the current query. Edit a Theme Builder template (single/archive/404) and preview a real post or archive.
Do I need Elementor Pro?
No. King Addons runs on free Elementor. Some King Addons options (for example template-in-accordion, extra popup conditions, parts of the template catalog) need King Addons Pro — not Elementor Pro.
