How to use Themes in WordPress with Elementor

Themes are an important part of website building with WordPress. They offer website guidelines on how certain elements on the website, like the menu, the font, basic design layouts and more are to be displayed. They can also include color elements that make it easier for you to set up branding.

Themes can also include functions, like filters, WooCommerce addons, newsletters, video elements, better imagery, and more.

Therefore, it is important to have a theme.

When you have your WordPress website for the first time, you will have a default theme. Then you need to change that theme. There are thousands of themes that you can choose from the many that are available on the theme store on WordPress or you can go to third-party websites and order a theme from them.

You can have one of the many available free themes. Alternatively, you can use a premium theme. Premium themes can have numerous advantages such as:

• Better customer support.
• Improved loading times.
• More updates that can improve security.
• Added features.

Therefore, it is perhaps one of the best options to choose a premium theme, like Soledad, that can help you grow.

Some are concerned that by using Elementor and themes, they can sometimes conflict. But the beautiful thing about Elementor is that it can work with all themes. Elementor doesn’t change how you can use the theme, but it uses the styling of the theme and then allows you to build a unique page within the framework of the theme.

Therefore, yes you can easily use Elementor with any theme that you have. The only time that this will not work, is if there is a problem with the coding. Normally this is a conflict and can happen with a basic theme, i.e. free theme, that the developer has almost abandoned.

Most themes that are dropped by developers are often removed from the theme store at some point by WordPress. It is really bad. But that can take some time. Therefore, one of the best things to do is to check out the reviews for any theme. If they have a lot of one-star reviews, it is best to leave the theme alone.

Sometimes, what you get is a freemium theme that has an upgrade option. This is similar to how Elementor works. There is a free part of Elementor, but then there is also a paid version. The Pro version of Elementor is good with lots of excellent additions that can help you build a much stronger website.
