✅ 🐞 Background Video ignores its HTML Tag setting and always renders a div #37393
Description
Description
The Background Video element added in 4.3.0 has an HTML Tag setting (Div, Header, Section, Article, Aside, Footer) under Settings, but changing it has no effect. The element always renders as a div. The template hardcodes the tag: modules/atomic-widgets/elements/atomic-background-video/atomic-background-video.html.twig prints <div on line 6 and m.default_tag_class('div') on line 5, while the element's schema offers the six tags (atomic-background-video.php, lines 97 and 98). Div Block renders {{ tag | e('html_tag') }} instead.
Steps to reproduce
- On a clean WordPress install with Elementor 4.3.0, create a page and add a Background Video element.
- In its Settings, set HTML Tag to Section.
- Update the page and view it on the front end.
- Inspect the element.
Expected behavior
Expected behavior:
The element renders as
with e-default-div.
