Template Catalog Button: open the library inside Elementor
This extension does not add a widget. It adds a button in the Elementor editor that loads catalog JSON (templates, categories, collections, pagination) and imports selected layouts onto the current document.
Get King Addons
Install the plugin from WordPress.org, enable this extension in the dashboard, then follow the steps on this page.
What it actually does
The popup talks to the same catalog as the wp-admin Templates screens: categories, collections, category counts, pagination, and a Pro flag (is_premium_active).
Import copies Elementor elements and processes images. You stay on the canvas instead of bouncing to wp-admin.
Where to find it in WordPress
King Addons → Dashboard → enable Template Catalog Button. Edit any page with Elementor. Use the King Addons catalog control in the editor panel.
How to set it up
- Enable the button. Dashboard → Template Catalog Button.
- Edit with Elementor. Open a page or template.
- Open the catalog. Use the King Addons Template Catalog control in the editor.
- Insert a page or section. Pick an item. Pro items still require a Pro license.
Controls that change behavior
| Control | What the plugin does |
|---|---|
| Catalog popup | Lists templates/sections with filters; not a page-level Elementor control. |
| Import | Writes Elementor elements into the current document and sideloads images. |
When this is the right tool
- Inserting a section while you are already designing a page.
- Trying kit pieces without leaving Elementor.

I do not see the button.
Enable Template Catalog Button in the dashboard and hard-refresh the editor.
Is this required to use templates?
No. You can insert from the wp-admin Free Templates / Templates Pro menus instead.
