Today I\u2019ll show you how to use the Import\/Export Template Kit feature in Elementor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Designing websites from scratch can be time consuming. And as a Website Creator, you know that time is of the essence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With just a few clicks, the Import \/ Export feature in Elementor can save you valuable time, with tools that allow you to reuse and transform your existing or purchased website templates into completely new websites, even across different industries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And, it\u2019s available in both the Free and Pro versions of Elementor.<\/span><\/p><p>Ok let\u2019s get started, and see how it works.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The first thing is to verify that this feature is active. So from the WordPress Dashboard, go to Elementor &gt; Settings &gt; Experiments, and make sure that Active is selected for \u201cImport Export Template Kit.\u201d And don\u2019t forget Save Changes. <br \/>Great. Now go to Elementor &gt; Tools, and click the Import\/Export Kit tab.<\/p><p>For this tutorial, we\u2019ll begin with Export, so go ahead and click Start Export. Below each export option, is a description of the components included in the export.<\/p><p>This is also an option to add Kit Information, where you can add a Kit Name and Description.<\/p><p><br \/>Now click Export. And, just like that we\u2019ve exported the Template Kit. Next we\u2019ll take a look at how to Import a kit. <br \/><br \/>We\u2019ll be importing the kit we just exported, to a brand new installation. If you are importing a kit, or parts of a kit, to an existing website or template, I highly recommend making a backup of your website first.<\/p><p><br \/>I&#8217;ve already installed Elementor and the Hello theme, which is the same theme used in the kit we just exported. And, as before I\u2019ve made sure Import\/Export was activated in Experiments. <br \/>So now we\u2019re ready to import our kit.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Click Start Import. Then click Select File, to choose your Zip file, or, drag it straight in. By default, all Elementor components are selected to be imported. However you may deselect any components that you do not want imported with the Kit. Click Next, and \u2026.<br \/>Success! The kit has been imported and is live on your site!<br \/>Take note, that if you\u2019re adding your kit to a pre-existing installation,<\/p><p>Alternate 1: you\u2019ll see this additional screen. This screen displays the templates of the same type applied to your current website, that have the same conditions as the ones you are about to import. You can select which ones to replace, and which ones to keep, by clicking the checkbox.<\/p><p>Leaving it selected, will replace the existing template header with the imported one (from the kit). Uncheck it if you want to keep the existing one. Either way, your templates remain available, and only the display conditions are changed.<br \/>Once you\u2019ve finished, click Next, and your template will be imported.<br \/>Now simply connect the pages to your (new) menu, and you\u2019re good to go!<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>A few more things to keep in mind, when Importing Kits: <br \/>1. if you\u2019re using custom fonts and icons, you\u2019ll need to upload them to your installation, and from there, they\u2019ll automatically be applied to your imported kit.<br \/>2. If you\u2019re using any Elementor Integrations, such as Google Maps Embed and Adobe Fonts, you\u2019ll need to enter their relevant keys in Elementor &gt; Settings &gt; Integrations in order for them to work properly on your website.<\/p><p>Ok now let\u2019s take a look at the imported site.<\/p><p>The entire website has transferred over successfully, including, posts, fonts, colors and images. Perfect.<\/p><p>So now you can use your imported template kits as a base for new websites. By swapping out content, colors, fonts, and images, you can create an alternate website with a brand new look, in a fraction of the time it takes to build from scratch.<\/p><p>So go ahead, work smarter not harder! Use the Import\/Export feature to reuse your favorite website templates, and build websites even faster with Elementor!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview Transcript Overview In this tutorial, you\u2019ll learn how to Import and Export your Elementor websites.
