Essential Addons for Elementor and Infinite Uploads: Every Widget's Media, Off Your Server
Essential Addons adds more than 100 widgets to Elementor: the Filterable Gallery, Image Accordion, Advanced Data Table, Team Members, and Sticky Video are some of the most used. Every one stores its images and self-hosted video in the Media Library, and a design-heavy page ends up loading dozens of images straight from your server.
Infinite Uploads offloads those images to cloud storage, converts them to AVIF and WebP with Image Optimization, a Business plan feature, and serves them from a global CDN. A self-hosted MP4 in the Sticky Video widget plays from the CDN as-is, and Video Cloud streams video uploaded to the Video Library, included on every plan.
Essential Addons keeps doing what it does: the Element Manager, Team Members, Advanced Data Table, and every other widget render exactly the same. Infinite Uploads only changes where the files live and how fast they arrive, so a gallery-heavy page loads fast and one predictable bill covers storage, video, and CDN bandwidth instead of three.
Four Problems Infinite Uploads Solves for an Essential Addons Site
Most offload plugins move files and stop. Here's what matters when the files are 100 widgets' worth of galleries, tables, and video.
Self-Hosted Sticky Video, Without the Stalling
The Sticky Video widget plays YouTube, Vimeo, or a self-hosted MP4 from the Media Library. Infinite Uploads serves that same MP4 from the CDN instead of your server, so nothing stalls, and Video Cloud's customizable player is there if you upload to the Video Library for adaptive streaming.
Galleries, Accordions, and Tables That Don't Wreck Your Core Web Vitals
The Filterable Gallery, Image Accordion, and Advanced Data Table can each carry dozens of images on one page, all loading from your server by default. Infinite Uploads converts them to AVIF and WebP with Image Optimization, a Business plan feature, and serves them from the nearest CDN edge.
Team Photos and Product Galleries Stop Filling Your Media Library
Team Members portraits and the Woo Product Gallery and Woo Product Images widgets add photos site-wide as a store or staff page grows. Infinite Uploads offloads them the same as any upload, and Media Folders keep them organized inside Elementor's own media popup, not just the main Media Library page.
Every Widget's Media, Organized and Off Your Server
Gallery photos, table images, team portraits, and self-hosted video from more than 100 widgets all land in the same Media Library as a site grows. Sync once, and everything moves to cloud storage with folders, search, and sort intact, then free up local storage from Infinite Uploads settings.
Why Essential Addons Builders Pair It With Infinite Uploads
One Bill Instead of a Video Account and a CDN Invoice
Essential Addons has no cloud storage or CDN of its own, so a widget-heavy site either fills the server or pays for Vimeo and a separate CDN. Infinite Uploads covers storage, video, and CDN bandwidth on one monthly price.
Move a Widget-Heavy Site Without Rebuilding a Page
The first sync moves your existing Media Library, including any video already on the server, and rewrites URLs to the CDN. Every gallery, table, and team page keeps pointing at the same files, and Download & Disconnect pulls them back from the cloud if needed.
Every Client Site on One Account
Agencies building Elementor sites with Essential Addons connect every client site to one Infinite Uploads account. Unlimited sites on every plan, one usage dashboard, no separate cloud credentials to hand off when a project wraps.

Works
Essential Addons' generated CSS and JS files (uploads/essential-addons-elementor)
Per-page CSS and JS files write to this folder, like Elementor's own CSS, and move to cloud storage with it. Check a styled page after syncing, or use Internal Embedding to skip the files.
Check after sync
Up and Running in Three Steps
1. Connect Infinite Uploads
Install the plugin, connect your account, and sync. Existing galleries, tables, and video move to the cloud.
2. Upload to the Video Library for Adaptive Streaming
Upload video to the Video Library and embed the shortcode. Video Cloud handles adaptive streaming from there.
3. Free Up Local Storage
Remove local copies once the sync finishes. Your host keeps the freed space, files stay on the CDN.
Good to Know Before You Switch
Essential Addons writes per-page CSS and JS files into your uploads folder. They live in wp-content/uploads/essential-addons-elementor, so with Infinite Uploads they move to cloud storage the same way Elementor's own CSS files do. Check a styled page after your first sync and after a big design change.
Prefer no generated files at all? Switch to Internal Embedding. Essential Addons follows Elementor's CSS Print Method setting. Set it to Internal Embedding in Elementor's settings and page styles print inline in the page, so no separate CSS file sits between a visitor and your design.
Video Cloud is on every plan, and video counts toward storage and bandwidth. A self-hosted Sticky Video clip or a Lightbox & Modal popup, a Pro widget, both add up on a media-heavy site. Size your plan on total storage and check the pricing calculator before a large migration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Video Cloud work with the Sticky Video widget?
The Sticky Video widget's self-hosted source plays the MP4 straight from the CDN as-is, not transcoded. For Video Cloud's adaptive streaming and customizable player, upload the video to the Video Library instead and embed it with the shortcode, included on every plan.
Can I keep YouTube or Vimeo sources in the Sticky Video widget?
Yes. Infinite Uploads doesn't touch embedded video sources. Keep YouTube or Vimeo where they are, or upload specific videos to the Video Library whenever adaptive streaming makes sense.
Do the Filterable Gallery and Image Accordion widgets still work the same?
Yes. Infinite Uploads only changes where the images live. Filtering, categories, hover effects, and the lightbox preview all keep working, and every image serves from the CDN instead of your server.
What about the Advanced Data Table widget?
Sort, search, pagination, inline editing, and CSV import all work unchanged. Any image you add to a cell, as HTML or a column, offloads and serves from the CDN like any other upload.
Will image-heavy Essential Addons pages load faster?
Yes. Images from the Filterable Gallery, Image Accordion, Team Members, and Advanced Data Table are converted to AVIF and WebP with Image Optimization, a Business plan feature, and served from the nearest CDN edge.
What about Essential Addons' own generated CSS and JS files?
They write to wp-content/uploads/essential-addons-elementor and move to cloud storage like Elementor's own CSS. Check a styled page after syncing, or set Elementor's CSS Print Method to Internal Embedding to skip them.
Can an agency use this across many Essential Addons client sites?
Yes. Infinite Uploads supports unlimited sites on every plan and WordPress Multisite, so an agency connects every Elementor and Essential Addons client site to one account with one invoice.
What if a Sticky Video clip is bigger than the WordPress upload limit?
Add our free Big File Uploads plugin. It lifts the WordPress upload limit without server changes, so the file uploads and Infinite Uploads offloads it from there.
