To successfully integrate Elementor Template Kits obtained from Unlock Elementor Pro into your WordPress site, you need to follow specific steps that involve uploading and installing the templates.

Step 1: How to Install the Envato WordPress Plugin.

Ensure you’re following this process to import your kit using the Envato Elements plugin for WordPress.

If you purchased the kit on Unlock Elementor Pro, you do NOT need a subscription to Envato to use the item, but you may need a subscription for Elementor Pro, which is the premium version of Elementor. Please check the plugin requirements in the item description of the product.

Download your kit file from your Unlock Elementor Pro dashboard and do not unzip it.
If you use Safari, you must disable “Open Safe Files after Downloading” under Preferences to ensure the file remains zipped.

  1. In WordPress, go to Settings > Permalinks and ensure Post Name is selected, then click Save.
  2. Go to Appearance > Themes > Add New and ensure Hello Elementor is installed and activated.
  3. The theme activation will prompt you to install and activate the Elementor Page Builder plugin if it is not already installed. Click Install, then Activate.
  4. The Elementor signup page will appear. You may click the X in the corner to close it.
  5. Go to Elementor > Settings, click the Features tab, and ensure Flexbox Container has a green icon (if not, set to Active). This feature is required for all kits published after Oct 1, 2023.
  6. Go to Plugins > Add New, search for “Envato,” and Install and Activate the Envato Elements – Photos & Elementor Templates plugin.
  7. If your kit requires Elementor Pro, you must install and connect it before continuing.
  8. Go to Elements > Settings and ensure the Server Limits have green checks. Any issues will be noted and should be directed to your web host to resolve before continuing.

Step 2: How to Import Your Kit

  1. Go to Elements > Installed Kits and click Upload Template Kit ZIP File. Your templates should appear.

Seeing “This kit is in the newer ‘Elementor Kit’ format” message?

Elementor Full Site Kits are a special format that includes a full site demo for fresh WordPress installations that do not use the Envato Elements plugin. These kits will have “Full Site Kit” in the title and filename and require Elementor Pro.

To import:

  • Go to Elementor > Tools > Import and follow the prompts to install your original ZIP file downloaded from Unlock Elementor Pro.
  1. Check for the orange banner at the top of the screen and click Install Requirements to load the kit addons and settings.
  2. Click Import on the Global Kit Styles first to set colors, fonts, and site settings. Then, click Import Template on each template one at a time in the order shown.
