List of 23 Elementor Pro Features
1. Theme Builder
WordPress is written in PHP. That said, to create a WordPress plugin or theme, you should also master PHP and the supporting languages like JavaScript. But it was then. Today, you can create your own WordPress theme without coding thanks to the theme builder feature offered by some page builder plugins like Elementor.What is a theme builder?
To understand the concept of theme builder, you need to understand the components of a WordPress theme first. A WordPress theme consists of template files. Each template file controls the layout of a theme part. For instance, the header.php file controls the layout of the theme header, while the footer.php file controls the layout of the theme footer. Most WordPress themes have the following template files:
- header.php: To control the layout of the header.
- footer.php: To control the layout of the footer.
- single.php: To control the layout of the single post (blog post).
- sidebar.php: To control the layout of the sidebar.
- archive.php: To control the layout of the archive pages.
- page.php: To control the layout of the page.
One of the advantages of using a theme builder instead of a theme is that you can set where a custom template to be applied. For instance, you can set a certain custom header template to be applied to a certain post, page, post under certain categories, the entire website, and so on. In other words, you can have different layouts of a certain theme part (e.g., the header) by creating multiple custom templates for the same part. Another advantage, you have limitless customization options (read: WordPress Theme vs Theme Bulder).
