Build Elementor theme parts with your AI agent

Elementor’s theme builder is where you design the parts that wrap your content: the site header, the footer, the single-post layout, the archive layout, the 404 page. WP MCP now gives your AI agent those templates and, just as important, the display conditions that decide where each one renders.

What you need

  • WP MCP installed and connected to your AI client, with its Pro tier active.
  • Elementor active. Theme templates are elementor_library posts. Display conditions apply through Elementor Pro’s conditions manager when it is installed, and are stored in the same place either way.

Create a theme template

› Create an Elementor header template called "Main header".
› Create a single-post template called "Blog single".

create-theme-template makes a library template of the location you name: header, footer, single, archive, loop-item, search-results, or error-404. You can seed it with elements up front or build it out afterward with the widget and container tools.

Set where it renders

› Make "Main header" the global header for the whole site.
› Apply "Blog single" only to posts, not pages.

set-template-conditions writes the display rules Elementor uses, given as readable parts (["include","singular","post"]) or slash strings (include/general, exclude/singular/page). The conditions are snapshotted before the write, so a targeting change is one click from undone.

Review and clean up

› List all my theme templates and where each one shows.
› Trash the old "Legacy footer" template.

list-theme-templates and get-theme-template report each template’s type and conditions, and delete-theme-template trashes one reversibly through the WordPress trash.

Why it is safe

Theme templates are ordinary posts and their conditions live in post meta, so every conditions change is captured by WP MCP’s snapshot and reversible with rollback-operation. You can retarget a site-wide header without fear of losing the previous rule.
