What is Templately plugin?
Templately is a cloud-based template library and storage service for WordPress page builders — primarily Elementor and Gutenberg. Unlike local template libraries (Starter Templates, Envato Elements), Templately stores templates in the cloud, enabling teams to save their own custom templates and share them across multiple WordPress sites and team members. The service functions as a “template hub” with both a public library of 6,000+ free and premium templates and private cloud storage for organization-specific templates.
The plugin installs in WordPress and provides access to the Templately library directly inside the Elementor or Gutenberg editor. Team members can save their company’s frequently used sections, headers, or complete page layouts to the Templately cloud, making them available instantly on any team member’s WordPress installation. This template-as-cloud-storage approach is Templately’s primary differentiator from other template libraries.
Templately offers a free tier with limited cloud storage (200MB) and access to the public template library. Templately Pro (from $5.4/month) increases cloud storage, adds team workspace features (shared private templates across team members), priority support, and more premium templates. For agencies and development teams that build many similar sites and want to maintain a shared library of approved, reusable components, Templately’s cloud storage model provides significant workflow efficiency.

Common Problems & Fixes
Templately templates are not loading inside Elementor — the Templately tab in the template library shows a loading spinner that never completes. How do I fix this?
Templately loads templates from its cloud API. If loading fails: (1) check your internet connection; (2) verify Templately.com is accessible from your server — some hosting firewalls block external API requests; (3) clear Elementor editor cache (Elementor → Tools → Regenerate CSS); (4) log out of Templately and log back in — authentication tokens can expire; (5) check if a security plugin is blocking the Templately API request; (6) try from a different browser to rule out local browser cache issues.
A template saved to Templately cloud is not appearing in the My Cloud section — it shows as saved but is missing from the library. How do I fix this?
After saving a template to Templately cloud: (1) refresh the Templately library panel (close and reopen the template library modal); (2) if still missing, log out and log back in to force a fresh library sync; (3) verify you have sufficient cloud storage — if the save appeared to succeed but 200MB limit was reached, the template may not have been stored; (4) check the template save by visiting Templately.com directly and logging into your account to see the saved templates.
Importing a Templately template is producing layout errors — some sections are missing or appear unstyled. How do I fix incomplete template imports?
Template import issues typically occur when: (1) a required plugin or Elementor Pro feature is not active on the destination site; (2) the template uses custom fonts that are not loaded on the destination site; (3) the template was created with a different Elementor version and some deprecated features no longer work; (4) global fonts and colors in the template differ from the site’s Elementor global settings. After import, manually review each section and replace any missing assets (fonts, images) with local alternatives.
Customization & Developer Notes
How do I save a custom Elementor page design to Templately for reuse across multiple client sites?
In the Elementor editor with the page design complete: (1) click the save icon or navigate to Elementor → Templates; (2) in the Templately panel, look for a “Save to Cloud” option; (3) name the template and select whether to save to personal My Cloud or a team workspace (if you have a Pro plan with team features); (4) the template is uploaded to Templately’s cloud and immediately available on any WordPress site with Templately installed and logged into the same account. Select specific sections or full pages to save.
How do I share a Templately template with a team member?
Team template sharing requires Templately Pro with team workspace features. Create a team workspace in your Templately account settings and invite team members by email. Any template saved to the team workspace (rather than personal My Cloud) is accessible to all workspace members when they open Templately in their WordPress installations. Each team member must have a Templately account and the plugin installed. The team workspace approach standardizes template usage across an agency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Templately better than Starter Templates for building websites?
Templately and Starter Templates serve different primary use cases. Starter Templates provides complete website packages (all pages, settings, demo images) designed for getting a new site running quickly. Templately focuses on individual section and page templates with cloud storage for reuse and team sharing. For launching a new client site from scratch, Starter Templates is more efficient. For agencies with established design standards who want to share approved component templates across team members, Templately’s cloud model is more valuable.
What happens to my Templately cloud templates if I cancel my subscription?
If you cancel a Templately Pro subscription, your account reverts to the free tier. Templates stored in your personal My Cloud remain accessible up to the free tier’s 200MB storage limit. Templates exceeding the free limit may become inaccessible until storage is reduced or the subscription is renewed. Team workspace templates are accessible only while a Pro subscription is active. It is advisable to export or download important templates locally (as Elementor JSON exports) before canceling the subscription to ensure access regardless of Templately’s service.
Can Templately break after updates?
Yes, that can happen, especially on older sites with many plugins. This usually happens when the plugin, theme, and add-ons are updated out of sequence. In most cases, testing on staging catches the issue before it reaches the live site. From experience, backups and changelog reviews save a lot of cleanup time.
What should I check before installing Templately?
Start by checking whether another plugin already does the same job. In most cases, overlap is what creates avoidable conflicts and performance issues. A common issue is installing a plugin because it looks convenient without checking the stack first. From experience, a short compatibility review avoids most of the pain later.
