Managing Your Site with Angie

Angie is Elementor’s AI assistant, available as a panel on the left side of your screen throughout the WordPress Admin. Instead of navigating through multiple menus, simply type what you want to do – Angie handles it for you.

The following examples highlight some of what Angie can do to help you manage your site and create content. From publishing blog posts and handling media, to installing plugins, managing users, and updating core settings. The more specific your prompts, the better Angie’s results will be.

Creating Content

Create a Post

Angie can help you take advantage of Elementor elements to generate a feature-rich post for you. In this example, we’ll create a blog post for the Dan’s Food Truck website using Elementor.

After installing Angie, the Angie panel accompanies you on the left side of your screen.

1. From WP Admin, in the Angie panel click Create a new post. If Create a new post is not an option, you can type “Create a new post” in the Angie prompt box.
2. When entering the description, enter the title and the content of the post. Be sure to provide as many details as possible so Angie can generate a meaningful post. For our example, we’ll enter the following:
   “This is a blog post for Dan’s Food Truck, located in Kapaa on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. Title: Best of Dan’s Food Truck Content should include: The post should introduce our three most popular dishes: The Big Kahuna (a half-pound burger with pineapple), The Fish Burger (deep fried Mahi Mahi on a bun with veggies and tartar sauce), and the Aloha Dog (an all-beef hot dog with pineapple sauce). End the post with an invitation for readers to visit the truck in person.”
3. Angie generates a complete, feature-rich blog post using Elementor elements and will prompt you if you want to:

• Publish the post: The post will go live immediately so it goes live and you can view it.
• Edit the post: You can specify to Angie what exactly to edit in Elementor (layout, widgets, background, typography, etc.).
• Try another version: Angie creates a version with different content and layout variations.

Optional: If you choose to Edit the post, Angie takes you to the Elementor Editor. You can specify what changes you want Angie to make, or follow her prompts such as:

• Add new widgets for better visual appeal
• Change the container layout and alignment
• Customize the background or typography

Add Alt Text to Images

Alt captions, also known as alt text, are brief descriptions of images used on web pages. They are crucial for web accessibility, allowing visually impaired users who rely on screen readers to understand the content of images. Furthermore, alt captions improve SEO by providing search engines with additional context about the image, which can help with indexing and ranking.

Angie can help generate alt captions quickly and efficiently, saving you hours of tedious work.

To add alt captions: In this example, we will assume you have a media library with several images.

1. Go to WP Admin and navigate to Media > Library.
   
2. In the Angie panel, type:
   Add alt captions to all the images.
   

Angie will generate and apply alt text across your media library automatically.

Managing Users

To add a new user, prompt Angie with as many details as possible. If you don’t include a detail, Angie will choose a default condition. For example, make sure to include:

• First name
• Last name
• Username
• Email address
• Password
• Role (Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, or Subscriber)
• Any other important details

Prompt Angie to add a new user:
"Add a new user: First name Jane, last name Smith, username janesmith, email [email protected], role Editor."

Angie will confirm that a new user has been added.
Go to WP Admin > Users > All Users to confirm the user appears in your list.
