A Templately account is free, and you need one to import templates into your WordPress site. With it you can use the free template library, save your own designs to MyCloud and reuse them on any site. This guide shows you how to create a Templately account, either on the website or inside the plugin, and then connect it to WordPress.
What a Free Templately Account Gives You #
| Feature | Free account |
| Free templates for Elementor and Gutenberg | Yes |
| Save your own designs to MyCloud | Yes |
| Import templates into your WordPress site | Yes |
| Pro templates | Needs a paid plan |
You can create your account in two places. Pick the one that suits you, the result is the same account.
Option 1: Create a Templately Account on the Website #
- Go to templately.com/signup.
- Click Sign up with Google, or fill in First Name, Last Name and Email.
- Type a password in Create Password and again in Confirm Password.
- Click SIGN UP.

Note: If Templately sends you a verification email, open it and click the link before you sign in. Check your spam folder if it does not arrive within a few minutes.
Option 2: Sign Up Inside the Templately Plugin #
Already have the plugin on your site? You can sign up without leaving WordPress. If you have not installed it yet, follow how to install Templately first.
- In your WordPress dashboard, click Templately.
- Click the profile icon at the top right, then open the Free Sign Up tab.
- Click Sign up with Google, or fill in your name, email address and password.
- Tick the boxes to accept the Privacy Policy and Terms of Services, then click Sign Up.

Your new account is signed in on that site right away, so you can skip the next section.
Connect Your Templately Account to WordPress #
If you created your account on the website, sign in once inside the plugin to connect it to your site.
- In your WordPress dashboard, click Templately, then the profile icon at the top right.
- On the Sign In tab, click Continue with Google, or enter your Email Address and Password.
- Click Sign In.

Two options on the sign in screen are worth knowing:
- Global Sign In: tick it to sign in every user on this site with your Templately account. Read what Global Sign In does.
- Connect via API: connect with an API key instead of your password. See how to create a token in Templately.
Forgot Your Password? #
On the plugin’s Sign In tab, click Forgot Password? and follow the email Templately sends you. If you signed up with Google, use Continue with Google instead. You do not need a password.
Once your Templately account is connected, learn how to import a full template pack or save your designs to MyCloud. To unlock Pro templates, compare plans on the Templately pricing page.
