How to edit subsection in WP/Elementor

    I newly tasked with maintaining a WordPress site.
    First I must edit photos/text info in an Elementor-edited page.
    Although I can see the subsection with text/images, I cannot see how to edit it or even get info about the subsection. (the outer elements of the page are editable)

    When I access the page from internet, each image in the subsection has a URL starting https://files.elfsight.com/storage…. I assume such images are stored transparently by WordPress, but maybe not. The images and associated texts are not in the Media Library.
    I would think there would be an Elfsight plugin, but there isn’t.

    Could someone who is familiar with this type of layout clarify to me how I can access and edit this subsection? I assume it is a common design pattern but even going a bit through WordPress and Elementor text&videos hasn’t provided any insight.

    As it might be easier to show exactly what I am talking about, here is the actual page in question:

    Our Mission

    Visible below the “Leadership” heading is a 3-column wide table of boxes, each with an image, a short text, and a pop-up text box.

    Other page elements are editable. But this inner table is not.

    This entire section is, inside Elementor, inside a container. Although I can edit extra text within the container, I cannot delete or edit the boxes inside the table.
    Nor do I know where their data is (well, it’s in elfsight, but I don’t think that helps me)

    As I am totally unfamiliar with WordPress and Elementor, and I can’t find any info on how to approach this problem, any insight would be appreciated!

    Hi @sgrenholm,

    I can see you have a self-hosted site – this forum is actually for sites hosted with WordPress.com.

    Please note that these forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only. If your site is using the open-source WordPress.org software you need to seek help at these forums:
