A template pack is a complete website design: the home page, inner pages, header, footer and site styles, built to work together. With Templately you can import a whole template pack in one go and get a ready site to edit, instead of inserting pages one by one. This guide shows you how to import a template pack from Templately into your WordPress site.
Before You Import a Template Pack #
- Templately is installed and you are signed in. See how to install Templately.
- You are an administrator, because the import installs plugins and changes site settings.
- Use a new site or a staging copy if you can. A pack import adds pages, menus and media and changes your site title, logo, colors and fonts.
- Free packs work with a free account. Packs marked Pro need a paid plan.
Step 1: Choose a Template Pack #
- In your WordPress dashboard, click Templately.
- Pick Elementor or Gutenberg in the builder menu next to the Templately logo.
- Make sure Packs is selected in the search bar menu, then browse or search.
- Click a pack to open it. You can check every page under Pages and Blocks, see the Required Plugins, or click Live Demo.
- Click Build Full Website.
Tip: Build with Templately AI imports the same pack but first writes the page text for your business with AI. It uses AI credits.
Step 2: Add Your Site Details #
A live preview of the pack opens, with settings on the left. Fill in what you have now; you can change all of it later.
- Site Title and Site Tagline.
- Upload a logo: click Upload your own logo (SVG, PNG, JPG or GIF) and set the Logo Width.
Click Style Website.
Step 3: Pick Colors and Fonts #
Under Select Color, click a color to change it, and use Typography to set the fonts. The preview updates as you go, and the reset icon next to each section brings back the pack’s original style. When you are happy, click Confirm Setup.
Step 4: Install Required Plugins and Import #
The Required Dependencies window lists everything the pack needs:
- Plugin Dependencies: free plugins that are missing are installed for you during the import. Plugins you already have show Installed.
- Pro plugins (for example Essential Addons Pro) are not installed automatically. Install and activate them yourself before you import, or the parts of the design that use them will not show.
- Updates Recommended: outdated plugins are listed so you can update them first. Click Update & Continue, or Continue Anyway to skip the updates.
- Theme Dependencies: the theme recommended for the pack.
- Import Demo Content: leave it ticked to get the sample posts, products and forms. Untick it to import only the pages and design.
Click Import (or Update & Continue) to start. Templately installs the plugins and imports the pages, templates, menus, media and site settings. This usually takes a few minutes, so keep the window open until it finishes.
Step 5: Visit and Edit Your New Site #
When you see Congratulations! Your Website is ready, the summary lists what was imported. Click Visit Your Website to see it, then edit any page with Elementor or the block editor like your own content.
Undo a Template Pack Import #
Changed your mind? Click Settings at the top right of the Templately screen, open the Revert tab and click Revert Now under Revert to previous website. Templately restores the settings, pages, menus and other content you had before the last import.
Only need one page? See how to insert a single Elementor template instead.

Template Pack Import FAQs #
Will importing a template pack delete my existing content?
No. Your existing pages and posts stay. The pack adds its own pages, menus and media, and it changes site settings such as the site title, logo, colors and fonts. If you do not like the result, you can revert it.
Why do some sections look different from the demo?
Usually a Pro plugin the pack needs, such as Essential Addons Pro, is missing. Templately does not install Pro plugins for you, so install and activate them, then check the page again.
The import stopped or failed. What should I do?
Click Retry if it appears; the import continues from where it stopped. If it keeps failing, your host may have a low PHP time or memory limit. Ask your host to raise them, or contact our support team with the import log.
Can I undo a template pack import?
Yes. Click Settings at the top right of Templately, open the Revert tab and click Revert Now. Templately restores the settings and content you had before the last pack import.
