Creating a Section with Elementor

Template Parts work seamlessly with Elementor and allow you to visually build custom sections and place them anywhere on your site — all without needing Elementor Pro. This gives you theme-builder-level flexibility, built directly into Kalium.

In this example, we’ll walk through how to create a Section using Elementor.


1. Enable Template Parts in Elementor

By default, Template Parts are not editable with Elementor unless you enable the option manually.

To do that:

  1. Go to Elementor → Settings

  2. Under the Post Types section, make sure Template Parts is checked

  3. Click Save Changes


2. Create the Section

Now that Elementor can edit Template Parts, you’re ready to create one:

  1. Go to Kalium → Template Parts

  2. Click Add New

  3. Add a title for your section (e.g. 30% Off Banner)

  4. Click Publish

You can set up Display Conditions, Placement, and Container Settings now or later — the process is the same as when using Gutenberg.


3. Edit with Elementor

Once the Template Part has been published, you’ll see the Edit with Elementor button appear.

Click it to open the section in the Elementor editor.


4. Add Your Content

Now you're in the Elementor editor.

  1. Add your content — for this example, we’ve added a banner block announcing a 30% Sale

  2. Design the section as you like

  3. When finished, click Publish


5. Check Your Section

Return to Kalium → Template Parts and you'll see your newly created section listed with an Elementor label. This means the section was built using Elementor and can be edited with it any time.

The "Elementor" label shows after the section title, so you will know it's built with Elementor

Optional: Insert the Section Manually

The Content Section element in Elementor lets you easily insert any section of Template Parts directly into your layout — no need to configure display conditions or placement settings.

Why use this?

  • Visual placement – Drop the section exactly where you want in your design

  • Simple selection – Choose any existing section from the dropdown

  • No display rules needed – Skip conditions and hook settings if you want manual control

To use it:

  1. Edit any page with Elementor.

  2. In the Elements panel, search for Content Section under the Kalium category.

    Click the "Content Section"
  3. Drag the element into the desired spot in your layout.

  4. In the Content Section settings, you'll find:

    • Display Section – Select the section you want to show.

    • Check Display Conditions – Enable this to respect the section’s Display Conditions.

      Check if this section should be visible based on its Display Conditions. This has no effect unless conditions are defined in the section settings. If you leave Check Display Conditions off, the section will always appear wherever you’ve placed it.

  5. When you're done editing click Publish

And this is how it looks in the page we have added:

And here is the final result, we have added the section created with Elementor in Contact page
