2026 Complete Installation Tutorial for Elementor Template Kits

Elementor Template Kits are one of the most efficient and professional design solutions for WordPress website building in 2026. Developers create complete website design templates using Elementor and some other plugins, then package them into Template Kits files. Other users can directly import this design set onto their own websites to quickly build their sites.

Compared to other pre-made themes, Elementor Template Kits are more flexible and high-performance. They are not limited by specific themes; as long as a site can be edited with Elementor, they can be used, making it convenient for later website modifications and upgrades.

This article provides a complete tutorial on installing and using Elementor Template Kits on your own website.

Preparation

Before installing Elementor Template Kits, please ensure you have the following:

• A WordPress website that is already installed, refer toWordPress Installation Tutorial；
• The website has SSL security certificate and pseudo-static rules configured;
• If the website already has a design, please back it up first, refer to:WordPress Backup Tutorial；
• Elementor and the Hello Elementor theme are already installed (not mandatory but recommended; they can also be installed during the import process)

Steps to Import Kits

1. Install the Template Kit – Import Plugin

WordPress Admin Dashboard -Plugins - Install Plugin, search for „Template Kit – Import" to install and activate.

2. Upload the Elementor Template Kits compressed file

After importing the kit package, there is usually a prompt requiring you to complete some necessary conditions. Click „Install Above Selected Requirements" to automatically install and set up.

The import interface has a note: FYI: This Template Kit has only been tested with the "Hello Elementor" WordPress theme. This means this kit was tested and created on the Hello Elementor theme; you may also consider installing and using the Hello Elementor theme.

4. Import styles and templates

Import the template files sequentially. It is recommended to start with Global Kit Styles, importing only one at a time to avoid import conflicts.

• Navigate to the Header Footer menu under the ElementsKit plugin and select Add New Template;

• Click the folder icon, select the Templates tab, choose Header to import Insert, and in the pop-up interface, select Apply; (see Figure 2 below)

• Return to the WordPress Admin Dashboard, go back to the Header Footer menu under the ElementsKit menu, edit the content you just created, and select Activate (Step 6 in Figure 1)
• The method for importing the footer is the same.

6. Use templates to create other pages

The overall steps are similar to importing headers and footers as described above.

• In the WordPress Admin Dashboard, select Pages - Add New Page;
• Enter the page title, for example, Home, then click Edit with Elementor;
• Click the folder icon - Templates - select the corresponding page template to import;
