Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records MerKit Theme Builder and Template Library for Elementor version 1.1.0 as active, updated 12d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
MerKit gives you a full Theme Builder and a growing Template Library for Elementor — completely free, forever. Import a complete landing page in one click, or pick individual sections, headers and footers.
Key Features
Theme Builder (no Pro required)
Build custom Headers and Footers with Elementor’s drag-and-drop editor
Flexible display conditions: show templates site-wide, on specific pages, post types, archives, or the 404 page
Works with any theme that supports standard WordPress hooks
Hello Elementor theme location support built-in
Free Template Library
48 instant-import premade templates across 15 categories — headers, footers, heroes, logo strips, feature grids, how-it-works, stats, stories, work galleries, menus, testimonials, pricing, FAQs, contact/hours and CTA banners
Three complete demo landing pages (Nimbus SaaS, Atelier Norr studio, Harvest & Oak restaurant) plus the MerKit Demos hub — every section importable on its own, filterable by brand
Templates carry the Global Colors and Global Fonts they use — missing ones are created in Site Settings on import, so sections look right on any site
Import a complete demo landing page in one click — every section in order, plus its header and footer assigned to that page, created as a draft for you to review
Template images are copied into your Media Library on import, so nothing is hotlinked and every image is editable on your site
All templates use the modern Elementor Container (flexbox) system and are fully responsive
Fully editable after import — nothing is locked
New templates added with each release
Bundled Widgets
Nav Menu — dropdown-ready navigation widget, no Pro required
Site Logo — displays your custom logo or site name as a fallback
Requirements

Elementor (free) 3.10+

External services
com (a site operated by the plugin author) into your Media Library. This happens only during an import you start in wp-admin; nothing is requested on the front end of your site, and no information about your site or visitors is sent. If a download fails, the template keeps the original image URL instead.
Compatibility
Works with Elementor free — Elementor Pro is NOT required
Uses the modern Flexbox Container layout system (Elementor 3.6+)
Tested with Hello Elementor, Astra, GeneratePress, OceanWP, and Blocksy
