How To Insert & Use Blocks From Templately?

Blocks are ready-made sections, such as a hero, testimonials, a team section or a pricing table. Add one to a new page from the Templately library, or drop it straight into the page you are editing in Elementor.

Before you start

  • Elementor is active on your site.
  • Templately is installed and you are signed in. See how to install Templately.
  • Free blocks work with a free account. Blocks marked Pro need a paid plan.

Method 1: From the Templately library #

  1. In your WordPress dashboard, click Templately.
  2. Make sure Elementor is selected in the builder menu (1).
  3. In the search bar menu, choose Blocks (2).
  4. Click a block to open its preview (3).

On the preview, look at Required Plugins (1), then click Insert This Block (2).

Templately checks the required plugins and installs any free ones that are missing. Then choose what to do with the block:

  • Create a New Page: type a title and click Create Page. The page is saved as a draft in Pages.
  • Import to Templately Library: adds the block to your library to reuse later, without creating a page.

Header and footer blocks

Header and footer blocks can only be imported to the Templately library. To show one on your site, use the Templately Theme Builder. See how to add a header and footer.

Pro plugins are not installed for you

Templately installs the free plugins a block needs. Pro plugins, such as Elementor Pro or Essential Addons Pro, you install yourself first, or the parts that use them will not show. If your plan includes Essential Addons Pro, download it from the Subscription page in Templately.

Method 2: Inside the Elementor editor #

  1. Open the page with Edit with Elementor.
  2. In the empty drop area, click the purple Templately icon (1).
  3. In the search bar menu, choose Blocks, then click the block you want.
  4. Click Insert This Block. The block is added to your page.
