Elementor users usually face the same puzzle: which theme should sit underneath the builder, and where do the templates, headers, popups and extra widgets come from? Royal Elementor Kit answers all of that in one package. In this guide we cover the Royal Elementor Kit WordPress theme free download, how the theme and its companion plugin fit together, and a setup routine that avoids the bloat Elementor sites are famous for.
This article is part of our complete guide: How to Build a WordPress Website for Your Business (2026 Guide).
The theme is made by WP Royal and is 100% free and legal to download from WordPress.org. It holds a perfect 5/5 rating from its reviewers and more than 100,000 active installs, which tells you it has found a real audience among Elementor fans. Let us look at what you actually get, who it suits, and how to set it up properly.
What is the Royal Elementor Kit WordPress theme?
Royal Elementor Kit is a lightweight classic theme designed to be used with Elementor and WP Royal’s companion plugin, Royal Elementor Addons. The theme provides the base; the plugin brings the heavy features: 140+ full website template kits, 100+ Elementor widgets, a theme builder for headers, footers and archive templates, a popup builder and premade blocks. The included kits cover a wide range of niches, from food and travel blogs to restaurants, portfolios, agencies and cybersecurity businesses.
| Detail | Royal Elementor Kit |
|---|---|
| Developer | WP Royal |
| Latest version | 1.0.150 |
| Active installs | 100,000+ |
| Rating | 5.0/5 (92 reviews) |
| Requires WordPress | 4.7 or higher |
| Requires PHP | 5.2 or higher (use PHP 8.x in practice; Elementor itself needs a modern PHP) |
| Last updated | 24 September 2026 |
| Theme type | Classic theme built for Elementor |
| Price | Free (Royal Elementor Addons Pro optional) |
The official minimum requirements are very old. Treat them as “it will not crash” rather than “it will run well”. Elementor and the addon plugin need a current PHP version and enough memory, so check your hosting before building.
Key features of Royal Elementor Kit
- 140+ Elementor template kits: complete multi-page websites for blogs, magazines, restaurants, portfolios, agencies, NFT projects, travel influencers and more.
- 100+ Elementor widgets: post grids, sliders, mega menus, forms, pricing tables, timelines and other widgets via Royal Elementor Addons.
- Theme builder: design your header, footer, single post and archive templates with Elementor, without paying for Elementor Pro.
- Popup builder: create newsletter, offer and announcement popups with display conditions.
- Premade blocks: drop-in sections such as hero, features, testimonials and CTA.
- Sticky header: keep navigation visible as visitors scroll.
- Visual effects: particle backgrounds and parallax effects for eye-catching sections.
- One-click start: a “Get Started with Templates Kit” button installs what you need and opens the kit library.
A free alternative to many Elementor Pro features
Header and footer templates, archive templates and popups are usually reasons people buy Elementor Pro. Royal Elementor Addons provides its own versions of these tools for free. For a small business on a tight budget, that can save a recurring licence fee, although you are then relying on WP Royal’s plugin rather than Elementor’s own.
Complete template kits, not single pages
A kit includes the homepage, inner pages, header and footer designed together. That consistency is the main advantage over importing random page templates from different sources, which often leaves a site looking stitched together.
Very fast start for beginners
The onboarding is genuinely beginner-friendly: activate the theme, click one button, pick a kit and import. Within minutes you have a complete website to edit in Elementor.
Royal Elementor Kit free vs Pro: what do you get?
The theme itself is free and stays free. The upgrade path is Royal Elementor Addons Pro, which adds extra widgets, premium kits and advanced options to the addon plugin.
| Area | Free | Pro (addons plugin) |
|---|---|---|
| Template kits | Large free selection | Premium kits added |
| Widgets | Many free widgets | Advanced widgets and extra widget options |
| Theme builder | Header, footer and templates | More conditions and dynamic options |
| Popups | Popup builder | More triggers and targeting |
| WooCommerce | Basic shop widgets | Extended shop builder features |
The exact split between free and Pro changes as WP Royal adds features, so check the developer’s site for current Pro pricing and a full comparison.
Who should use Royal Elementor Kit?
- Elementor users on the free plan who want a theme builder and popups without buying Elementor Pro.
- Bloggers and magazine owners: several kits are built specifically for food, travel and news-style blogs.
- Freelancers building client sites quickly from a large kit library.
- Restaurants, portfolios and creative businesses that want visual effects like parallax and particles.
Who should not use Royal Elementor Kit? If you do not want to use Elementor, this theme makes little sense, because almost all of its value comes from the Elementor addon. People focused on maximum speed with minimal plugins should consider a block-based theme instead, such as Ollie.
Royal Elementor Kit WordPress theme free download (official and safe)
- Official page: wordpress.org/themes/royal-elementor-kit
- Direct ZIP download: downloads.wordpress.org/theme/royal-elementor-kit.zip
MIVAQ does not distribute theme or plugin files. Please do not install “nulled” copies of Royal Elementor Addons Pro or Elementor Pro from unofficial sites. Elementor-related nulled plugins are some of the most common sources of infected WordPress sites we clean. If something already looks wrong, read our WordPress malware removal guide.
How to install Royal Elementor Kit in WordPress (step by step)
Method 1: from the dashboard
- Go to Appearance › Themes › Add New Theme.
- Search for “Royal Elementor Kit”.
- Click Install on the theme by WP Royal, then Activate.
- Click Get Started with Templates Kit in the welcome notice. This installs Elementor and Royal Elementor Addons if they are missing.
Method 2: upload the ZIP
- Download royal-elementor-kit.zip from WordPress.org.
- Go to Appearance › Themes › Add New Theme › Upload Theme.
- Upload the file, click Install Now, then Activate and follow the welcome notice.
Tip: most work on this theme happens in Elementor, which stores designs in the database, so a child theme is not essential. Create one only if you plan to add custom functions or edit theme files.
How to set up Royal Elementor Kit after installation
- Check your server. Make sure PHP is current and memory limit is at least 256 MB. Elementor sites with many widgets need it.
- Open the Templates Kit library. Filter by category and preview kits. Choose based on page structure, not just colours.
- Import one kit. The import adds pages, theme builder templates and settings. Do this on a fresh install or a backed-up site.
- Set Elementor global colours and fonts. Under Elementor’s Site Settings, define brand colours and typography so every kit page updates together.
- Edit the header and footer templates in the Royal Addons theme builder: logo, menu, contact button, social links.
- Disable widgets you do not use. Royal Elementor Addons lets you turn individual widgets on or off. Switching off unused ones reduces clutter in the editor.
- Replace content page by page and remove kit pages you do not need.
- Set up popups carefully. One well-timed popup is enough; several popups annoy visitors and can hurt mobile experience.
If you sell products, install WooCommerce after the kit import, then design your shop and product templates with the addon’s WooCommerce widgets.
Royal Elementor Kit speed and SEO checklist
- Use Elementor’s performance features such as optimised asset loading, and avoid heavy effects (particles, multiple sliders) on mobile.
- Cache everything that can be cached: our LiteSpeed speed guide includes Elementor-friendly settings.
- Fix heading structure. Kits often use H2s for decorative text; make sure each page has one H1 and logical headings.
- Set unique SEO titles with help from our title tag SEO guide and pick a plugin via Rank Math vs Yoast.
- Write alt text for kit images you keep, following our image alt text guide.
- For shops, follow our WooCommerce SEO guide to optimise products and categories.
Common mistakes when setting up Royal Elementor Kit
- Installing several Elementor addon packs alongside Royal Elementor Addons. Overlapping widget libraries slow the editor and the site.
- Importing multiple kits to compare them on a live site, leaving dozens of unused pages and templates.
- Running on old PHP or low memory, which causes the Elementor editor to fail to load.
- Overusing animation: parallax plus particles plus entrance animations on every section looks busy and slows phones.
- Forgetting theme builder conditions, so a header template shows on the wrong pages.
Royal Elementor Kit vs similar free WordPress themes
| Theme | Approach | Choose it if |
|---|---|---|
| Royal Elementor Kit | Elementor plus its own addon with kits, widgets and theme builder | You want an all-in-one Elementor toolkit for free |
| Phlox | Theme with its own elements, also works with Elementor | You want portfolio features and a broader theme options panel |
| PopularFX | Pagelayer builder and templates | You prefer a non-Elementor visual builder |
| Zakra | Multipurpose theme with Elementor and block demos | You want the option to move away from Elementor later |
Outside this group, Hello Elementor is the minimal option for people who already own Elementor Pro.
