Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install via **Plugins -> Add New**. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Install and activate **Elementor** (free) if not already active. 4. Go to **MerKit Addons -> Templates** to browse and import templates. 5. Go to **MerKit Addons -> Theme Builder** to create or assign header/footer templates. ## FAQ ### Does this require Elementor Pro? No. This plugin works entirely with the free version of Elementor. ### Does this work with the new Elementor Container (Flexbox) system? Yes. All bundled templates use the modern Container layout. Legacy Section/Column layouts are not used. ### Which themes does the Theme Builder support? All classic themes. The plugin implements Elementor’s theme-location system — the same mechanism Elementor Pro uses — so themes with native Elementor support (Hello Elementor, Astra, GeneratePress, OceanWP, Neve, and many more) automatically replace their own header/footer with yours. Themes without location support are handled through a header/footer template override. No manual theme settings needed. ### Are the templates really free? Yes. All templates included in the plugin are free, with no upsells or locked items. ### Can I add my own templates? Yes. Go to **MerKit Addons -> Theme Builder** and use **Import Template from JSON** to upload a template exported from this plugin or from Elementor (.json). You can also **Export** any of your templates back to a JSON file from the same page — handy for backups or moving a template between sites. After importing, every template is fully editable in Elementor. ### How do I embed a template in a post or page? Use the shortcode: [merkit_template id=”123″] — replace 123 with the template post ID shown in the Theme Builder admin page. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “MerKit Theme Builder and Template Library for Elementor” is open source software.
