Templates catalog: insert Elementor pages and sections
Templates are full Elementor pages. Sections are smaller blocks. Neither is a widget. The catalog reads TemplatesMap, CollectionsMap, and SectionsMap and inserts Elementor data onto a target page.
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 catalog UI filters by category, collection, and tag. Collections group templates that share a look. Insert can target a new page or an existing page; images are imported as attachments.
Pro templates check Freemius (king_addons_freemius()->can_use_premium_code()). The rest of the catalog is available on the free WordPress.org plugin.
Official marketing counts are 650+ page templates and 4,000+ sections — not a folder count from your install.
Where to find it in WordPress
Enable Templates Catalog in the dashboard. Use the Free Templates or Templates Pro admin menus (next to King Addons, not inside Elementor). In the editor, the Template Catalog Button opens the same library.
How to set it up
- Leave the catalog enabled. Dashboard → Templates Catalog on.
- Browse in wp-admin. Open Free Templates or Templates Pro. Filter, then insert into a new or existing page.
- Or insert from Elementor. Enable Template Catalog Button and use the editor control.
- Match kits. Insert a page from a collection, then pull matching sections if you need more blocks.
Controls that change behavior
| Control | What the plugin does |
|---|---|
| Category / collection / tag | Filters in the catalog grid — they do not change Elementor widgets. |
| Insert target | New page vs existing page; the catalog writes Elementor document data. |
| Pro badge | That item needs an active King Addons Pro license. |
When this is the right tool
- Starting a landing page from a finished Elementor layout instead of a blank canvas.
- Dropping a priced section or hero into an existing page.
- Keeping a kit’s look by staying inside one collection.
Notes from the implementation
Public catalog: kingaddons.com/templates. Plugin: kingaddons.com.
FAQ
Is a template a widget?
No. It is a prebuilt Elementor document. Widgets are the blocks inside it.
Why is insert greyed out on a template?
It is a Pro catalog item without a Pro license.
Does insert overwrite my page?
You choose new vs existing page. Existing-page insert merges Elementor data onto that page.
