    1. Good question. I don't really know! Only way I can think of is to import your own custom icons, then use the image element to show them... you would have that option at least.

      Otherwise, you might ask the Elementor team for this! Maybe they will add it as a new feature...

  2. “Attribute alt not allowed on element div at this point”

    I receive this message on accessibility check. Does anybody know how to resolve this? I noticed also that this happens when I use the gallery widget into the div… All gallery images have already alt text.

    Thanks in advance

    1. It is that Elementor is placing an 'alt' attribute to the DIV element, in these galleries... Which is not valid.. You might want to check with their support, or open a feature request to have this be changed to something valid.

  4. Edit with Elemetro pro then you can't add alt tag in images, you need to go to media and then find that image and then add the alt tag. This was if you have used that image for mupltple pages everywhere will shows same alt tag. WHY?
