Templates & Theme Builder

The Templates screen (Pro)

EMCP Tools → Library → Templates (admin.php?page=emcp-tools-templates) is the Pro library of ready-made page designs. The entry shows whenever the Templates module is switched on, even when a different standalone builder is selected; without a Pro licence it opens the Pro locked screen. The library is Elementor-specific: with Elementor inactive the screen says “Activate Elementor to use templates”. Native Bricks, Divi, Oxygen and other builder libraries are accessed through their dedicated integrations; this screen does not convert templates between builders.

Sync library refreshes the library from emcptools.com.
Find a template with Search templates, the Industry menu (All industries, or one industry with its count), the Builder menu (shown only when more than one builder has templates) and Sort (Library order, Name A to Z, Most used). Results are paged 12 at a time.
Each card shows a thumbnail, the page count, the industry, the title and “Used N times”. A template you already applied carries an Applied badge.
Live preview opens the template’s demo in a new tab.
Create page creates a new draft page from the template; the confirmation toast links to the new page in the editor.
Add to library adds the template to Elementor’s Saved Templates, so you can insert it on any page; the toast links Open the Elementor library.
Clicking a card opens a details drawer with its description, Open live demo, Add to Elementor library and Create page.

These screen actions are separate from the MCP tools below, which work with Elementor’s own template library on your site.
