## Description

**Template Porter for Elementor** is a powerful tool that solves the common problem
of broken images when exporting and importing Elementor templates. Unlike the default
Elementor export/import feature, this plugin automatically bundles all images with
your template.

#### Key Features

 * **Complete Template Export** – Exports Elementor templates with ALL images bundled
   into a single ZIP file
 * **Automatic Image Import** – Imports images directly into your Media Library
 * **Smart ID Mapping** – Automatically updates template JSON with new attachment
   IDs
 * **Zero Manual Work** – No need to manually reselect images in the Elementor editor
 * **Preserve Everything** – Maintains all template settings, page settings, and
   metadata
 * **User-Friendly Interface** – Simple admin interface for easy export and import

#### How It Works

**Export:**
 1. Select an Elementor template from the dropdown 2. Click “Export 
Template” 3. Download the generated ZIP file containing the template JSON and all
images

**Import:**
 1. Upload the ZIP file exported by this plugin 2. Click “Import Template”
3. All images are uploaded to your Media Library 4. Template JSON is automatically
updated with new image IDs 5. Your template is ready to use immediately in Elementor!

#### Perfect For

 * Moving templates between development and production sites
 * Sharing templates with clients or team members
 * Creating template backups with all assets included
 * Building a template library for multiple projects

#### Technical Details

This plugin extracts all image attachment IDs from your Elementor template data,
bundles the actual image files with the template JSON, and on import, intelligently
maps old image IDs to new ones. This ensures that all images work immediately in
the Elementor editor without any manual intervention.

#### Requirements

 * WordPress 5.2 or higher
 * PHP 7.4 or higher
 * Elementor page builder plugin (free or pro)
 * PHP ZipArchive extension enabled

## FAQ

### Does this work with Elementor Free?

Yes! This plugin works with both Elementor Free and Elementor Pro.

### What types of templates can I export?

You can export any Elementor template type: pages, sections, headers, footers, popups,
and any custom template type from your Elementor Library.

### Will this export templates from Theme Builder?

The plugin exports templates from the Elementor Library (elementor_library post 
type). If your Theme Builder templates are saved there, they can be exported.

### Do I need to manually reselect images after import?

No! That’s the whole point of this plugin. All images are automatically imported
and linked correctly in your template.

### What happens if an image fails to import?

The plugin logs all import activities. If an image fails to import, it will be noted
in the import log, but the template will still be created with the images that were
successfully imported.

### Can I use this to migrate templates between multisite installations?

Yes! This plugin works perfectly for moving templates between any WordPress installations,
including multisite networks.

### Is there a file size limit?

The file size limit depends on your server’s PHP upload_max_filesize and post_max_size
settings. Large templates with many high-resolution images may require increasing
these limits.

### Does this plugin collect any data?

No. This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any user data. All export and
import operations happen entirely on your server.

### Is this plugin compatible with other page builders?

No, this plugin is specifically designed for Elementor templates only.
