How to Import an Elementor Footer Template
Footer templates apply site-wide through the Theme Builder. Import the file, replace the placeholder links and legal line with your own, and set the condition.
- 1
Download the template file
On the component page, click Download JSON. You get a single .json file exported in the correct theme template format.

Import it into Elementor
In WP Admin go to Templates, then Saved Templates, and click Import Templates. Choose the downloaded .json file. Because the file carries the right template type, Elementor files it under the matching Theme Builder section automatically.

Replace the placeholder content
Edit the footer and swap the link lists, social profiles, and the copyright line for your own. Newsletter-first footers include an Elementor Pro Form widget; open its settings and connect YOUR email integration under Actions After Submit.

Set the display condition
Open Templates, then Theme Builder, find the imported template and click Add Condition. For a site-wide footer choose Entire Site. Conditions never travel inside the JSON file; setting them is always your final step.
Troubleshooting
The template imported but nothing shows on my site
You have not set a display condition yet. Elementor only applies a theme template where its conditions say so; add the condition described above and reload the page.
It imported as a regular saved template, not a theme part
The file was probably re-saved or edited and lost its type field. Re-download the original .json from Snapelement and import it unchanged.
