In this tutorial you will learn how to import a template file downloaded from Element.how into Elementor.

First, unzip the downloaded file

The download you received will be a .zip file. The very first thing you have to do is to unzip the file locally. In it are the actual template(s) file, ending with .JSON .

These JSON files are the actual templates file, that we will upload in the following steps.

Then, enable file upload

To be able to import the JSON templates, you need to enable file upload in the Elementor settings, under Advanced.

Enabling Containers Experiment (if applicable)

The very first thing to do to import a template you downloaded from Element.How is to verify if it's made with sections or containers.

How to know? If it's made with containers, it will be specifically mentioned in the related tutorial.

You will see this notice:

Important note: You will need the feature "Container" to be enabled under Elementor > Experiments > Container. This uses the new Container element.

If your template file is made with containers, then you will need the container experiment enabled (at least for now, until containers are officially out of beta).

Go to WordPress > Elementor > Settings > Experiements > Flexbox Container, and enable.

If you had already imported a template with containers, without having the flexbox container experiment active, it just won't work. The template will be blank.

You will need to delete the imported template, activate the container experiment, and import the template again.

Importing the template to your page

Now, go to your page (or header template, footer template, etc) where you want to import the template.

Log into the editor, go at the bottom of the page and look for this.

Click the folder icon.
