Can I import my own custom templates to Website Standard or Website Pro?

You can create your own custom website templates for Website Standard or Pro from scratch, or you can also import your own template by importing it as a site and saving it as a template.

To import a site as a template, follow these steps:

In your existing WordPress site that you want to import as a template:

  1. Under Plugins, install the All-in-One WP Migration plugin
  2. After installation, click the All-in-One WP Migration tab in the WordPress dashboard. Select Export.

Under Website Standard/Pro > Templates tab:

  1. Create a new template by duplicating or editing an existing template.
  2. Edit the template and go into the WordPress dashboard.
  3. Under Plugins, install the All-in-One WP Migration plugin
  4. After installation, go to the All-in-One WP Migration tab in the WordPress dashboard. Select Import to import the exported site from above.
  5. Go back to the Template Overview page and click on the Publish as Template or Update Template button to save your template.

Here are a couple of best practices to ensure your templates load fast and run smoothly:

  1. Keep templates simple.
  2. Avoid installing too many plugins on your template. Try installing no more than 30 plugins.
  3. Avoid uploading a lot of large media files to the templates.
  4. Remember that templates are just a starting point for creating your client’s website; additional media and plugins can be installed or uploaded directly to the individual sites for further customization.
