What is Theme Builder

Estimated reading: 3 minutes 10 views

The Theme Builder in the Topper Pack plugin transforms the way you create WordPress websites by giving you complete design freedom over every part of your site β€” from headers and footers to post templates, product pages, and beyond β€” all without writing a single line of code.

βœ… What Is the Theme Builder?

The Theme Builder is a visual templating engine that replaces your theme’s hardcoded templates (header.php, footer.php, single.php, etc.) with Elementor-powered, fully customizable layouts.

It allows you to design:

  • Global headers and footers
  • Single post and page layouts
  • Product templates for WooCommerce
  • Blog archives, category pages
  • 404 error pages
  • Cart, Checkout & Account pages

And then assign them to specific pages or user conditions across your site.

🎯 Why Use Theme Builder?

Traditional WordPress themes limit what you can customize. With Topper Pack’s Theme Builder, you gain:

  • 100% visual control using Elementor
  • Dynamic content placement (like featured images, post titles, and authors)
  • Conditional logic to show templates for specific pages, posts, categories, or devices
  • Drag-and-drop layout with Topper widgets and style options
  • Lightning-fast switching between templates with no theme file edits

πŸ”§ How It Works – Step by Step

🧱 1. Access the Theme Builder

Navigate to:
Dashboard β†’ Topper Pack β†’ Theme Builder

βž• 2. Add a New Template

  • Header

  • Specific Pages (like Homepage, Blog, About)
  • Specific User Roles (Admins, Customers)

Once saved, your custom layout will automatically override the default theme layout in the selected area, giving you a completely tailored website.
