# Custom Theme Widgets

Rhye comes with custom carefully crafted widgets which you can easily use during the page building. If you scroll down widgets panel, you will see Rhye widgets sections. But before using them, let me explain what Static and Dynamic widgets are.

# Static Widgets

In Static Widgets the content is created right on the page through live page builder. Data is editable from left panel or directly on the page.

Custom Theme Static Widgets

# Dynamic Widgets

In Dynamic Widgets the content is pulled dynamically from the existing posts/pages. Data is not editable from Elementor. You need to edit your content through admin panel to reflect changes on the pages.

Custom Theme Dynamic Widgets

Consider the next example. Portfolio Masonry Grid widget pulls content dynamically from theme Portfolio Item custom post type. Editing options are far limited, for example, you can’t edit the portfolio headings from here.

To edit portfolio items, you need to go into Admin Panel → Portfolio Items.

Edit your pages or custom post types from admin panel

It's possible to alter the type of the displayed posts in dynamic widgets

Want to display posts other than portfolio items type in dynamic widgets (services, pages, etc)? Learn more in Changing Post Type in Dynamic Widget

# Summary

  • When you want to place a simple stuff, which is not tied to any Custom Post Type (doesn’t have a separate page in admin panel) like Content block, Team member, Slider Images, Google Map etc. Then look for it in Static Widgets.
  • When you want to display the existing data on the page like Portfolio Items which means you already created pages or posts for that content before. Then use Dynamic Widgets.
