Tips

  • Pages built with Elementor keep their own design and only get the header and footer.

  • An archive template is used on the blog, category, tag, author and date pages, and on post type archives.

  • When Elementor Pro has its own template for the same page, that one is used.

  • Headers and footers made with the free plugin show up in the same list and keep working.

Questions and answers

Does it work with free Elementor?

Yes. The Theme Builder works with the free Elementor plugin and with classic and block themes.
