About Templementor

From the official readme · v1.0.2

Description

Yes, Elementor builder is absolutely great, but using its free version a major downside is evident: we have to edit each page singularly. This is quite a problem having to deal with many pages having identical elements (eg. sidebars, head, footer).

Templementor has been created to create a solution in the most simple and clean way:

  1. Create templates, as you would do creating a page through Elementor. Obviously is possible to create completely new page layouts by using the “Elementor Canvas” wrapper template.

  2. Insert the {{contents}} placeholder wherever you like in the template, preferably in an HTML block (continue reading to know more about placeholders)

  3. Apply templates to any post (or post type) editable through Elementor

Page contents will be wrapped by your template.
Did you apply the template to 100 pages?

Simply edit it to magically update any associated page! Isn’t it great?

Affected page will inherit also template page settings (eg. background and padding).
You could theoretically build an entire site without a premium theme and maintain/update it in minutes!

Templates can also be applied to other templates. For example, two templates could have different head sections while keeping the same footer, without needing to edit the footer section for each head template. Sound complex? Is surely easier to be used than explained 😉

🪄 Placeholders

Placeholders are essentials in Templementor: replacing only page contents wouldn’t be such a great deal, isn’t it?

You can theoretically use unlimited placeholders to display posts data into templates:

  • {{contents}} – page contents
  • {{title}} – page’s title
  • {{author}} – page’s author (its nicename)
  • {{pub-date}} – page’s creation date (global date format used)
  • {{edit-date}} – page’s modification date (global date format used)
  • {{excerpt}} – page’s excerpt
  • {{comm-count}} – page comments count
  • {{POST-META-KEY-NAME}} – page’s custom field value

Obviously replace POST-META-KEY-NAME with the proper meta name. They are widely used by plugins to store data and you can use it into templates. You could also create them with the maximum ease through WP editor wizard.

Installation

  1. Elementor plugin must be installed
  2. Upload templementor to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  4. A new submenu item will be visible under the “Elementor” menu
  5. Create templates and use {{contents}} as mandatory placeholder. In case, use also any other placeholder you need
  6. Apply them through the sidebar dropdown you find in any page/post-type editor
