Templately gives you thousands of ready Elementor templates: full pages and smaller blocks such as headers, hero sections and pricing tables. You can insert Elementor templates in two ways: from the Templately library in your WordPress dashboard, or straight from inside the Elementor editor. This guide walks you through both.
Before You Insert Elementor Templates #
- Elementor is installed and active on your site.
- Templately is installed and you are signed in. See how to install Templately.
- Free templates work with a free account. Templates marked Pro need a paid plan.
Method 1: Insert Elementor Templates From the Templately Library #
Use this method when you want a new page built from a template.
Step 1: Find a Template #
- In your WordPress dashboard, click Templately.
- Make sure Elementor is selected in the builder menu next to the Templately logo.
- In the search bar menu, choose Pages or Blocks, then browse or search.
Step 2: Click Insert This Page #
Click a template to open its preview, then click Insert This Page. For a block, the button reads Insert This Block.
Step 3: Install Required Plugins #
Templately checks which plugins the template needs and lists them under Required Dependencies.
- If everything is already installed, click Proceed to Import.
- If a free plugin is missing, click Install & Proceed to Import. Templately installs it for you.
- Pro plugins (for example Essential Addons Pro) are not installed automatically. Install them yourself first, or the parts of the design that use them will not show.
Step 4: Create the Page #
Next, choose how to use the template:
- Create a New Page: type a title in Enter page title and click Create Page. The page is saved as a draft in Pages, so nothing goes live until you publish it.
- Import to Templately Library: click Import to Library to add the design to your Elementor Saved Templates list for later, without creating a page.
When you see Imported Successfully!, click Edit with Elementor to start customizing, or View Template to preview it.
Method 2: Insert Templates Inside the Elementor Editor #
Use this method to add a template to the page you are already editing.
- Open the page with Edit with Elementor.
- In the drop area at the bottom of the page, click the purple Templately icon.
- Choose Pages or Blocks, then click the template you want.
- Click Insert This Page (or Insert This Block) and confirm any required plugins. The design is added to the page.
Now edit the text, images and colors like any other Elementor content, then click Publish or Update. To keep a design you changed, save it to Templately My Cloud. To build a whole site at once, import a template pack instead.

Elementor Templates FAQs #
What is the difference between Pages and Blocks?
Pages are complete page designs, such as a home or contact page. Blocks are single sections, such as a header, hero or pricing table, that you add to a page you are building.
Do I need Elementor Pro to use Templately templates?
Only for templates that list Elementor Pro under Required Plugins on their preview page. Many templates work with the free Elementor plugin.
Is the new page published right away?
No. Create Page saves it as a draft in Pages. Edit it in Elementor and click Publish when it is ready.
Why do some parts of the template look empty after import?
A plugin the design uses is missing or inactive, often a Pro plugin such as Elementor Pro or Essential Addons Pro. Templately does not install Pro plugins for you. Install and activate them, then reload the page.
