FAQ: Templates & Page Builder Tools in WordPress Hosting

WordPress Hosting Pro and WordPress HostingStandard both offer flexible site-building tools, including a selection of pre-built templates and full support for custom designs. This article covers how to use, customize, and import templates, and where to find help with Divi Builder.

Q: Can I import my own custom templates to WordPress Hosting Standard or WordPress Hosting Pro?​

Yes. You can create custom templates by importing an existing WordPress site and saving it as a new template in WordPress Hosting Pro or Standard.

Steps to create and import a custom template:​

  1. Export your existing WordPress site:

    • In the WordPress dashboard of the site you want to use as a template, install the All-in-One WP Migration plugin.

    • Go to All-in-One WP Migration > Export and download your site file.

  2. Create a new template in WordPress Hosting Pro/Standard:

    • Navigate to WordPress Hosting > Templates in the dashboard.

    • Create or duplicate a template.

    • Enter the WordPress dashboard for that template and install the All-in-One WP Migration plugin again.

  3. Import the site into the template:

    • Go to All-in-One WP Migration > Import and upload the exported file from Step 1.

    • Once imported, return to the Template Overview page and click Publish as Template or Update Template.

Best practices for template performance:​

  • Keep your templates simple.

  • Avoid bundling more than 30 plugins.

  • Minimize large media uploads inside the template.

  • Treat templates as a starting point; additional customizations can be made on a per-site basis after launch.
