Title: Templementor – Persistent Elementor Templates Author: LCweb Published: February 22, 2018 Last modified: December 11, 2024 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/templementor/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=3206337) ![](https://ps.w.org/templementor/assets/icon.svg?rev=2334229) # Templementor – Persistent Elementor Templates By [LCweb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lcweb-projects/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/templementor.zip) * [Details](https://scn.wordpress.org/plugins/templementor/#description) * [Reviews](https://scn.wordpress.org/plugins/templementor/#reviews) * [Installation](https://scn.wordpress.org/plugins/templementor/#installation) * [Development](https://scn.wordpress.org/plugins/templementor/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/templementor/) ## Description Yes, [Elementor](https://be.elementor.com/visit/?bta=1930&brand=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](https://be.elementor.com/visit/?bta=1930&brand=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](https://be.elementor.com/visit/?bta=1930&brand=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. ## Screenshots * [[ * Template * [[ * Vanilla page (as it would be shown) * [[ * Templated page * [[ * Templates management page * [[ * How to apply templates ## Installation 1.
