If you convert an existing template of some kind to be a Template Kit, that is acceptable. Just remember to follow our requirements and review the examples in our commercial demand guide for a reference on what the design level needs to be in order to be accepted.
I have read the policy that stock images must be used only from envato elements.
If i purchased images with one month subscription and used it for developing template kit, what will happen to my images and the template kits after the subscrption plan expired???
Can we make more functional template kits? What I’m thinking is Elementor Template Kit for WooCommerce with XforWooCommerce support. We wouldn’t be making designs and styles, but we would create a few layouts that are troubling for our customers. This way they could just put a page setup in one click.
My worry is that style or design might be the issue, but we plan only to use WooCommerce shortcodes and the ones that are available in our plugins. These depend more on the theme being used, rather than us designing them.
What’s the policy on this? Thank you. XforWooCommerce (Formerly dzeriho)
A ask…
Do I can working new template item create template kit will approved themeforest? or other version convert to template kit in themeforest? I don’t have other version in themeforest
@jamesgiroux
Can I convert an existing item of mine that I have in ThemeForest? For example I have a good selling WordPress theme in ThemeForest called “Saasland”. Can I create an Element Kits pack with its elements, and with the same name?
Thanks for the question! At the moment, Template Kits are intended to be a design layer that doesn’t include additional functionality. For that there are still themes and plugins. If you are building templates for WooCommerce, and that is a dependency, I believe that is inline with the requirements but it must be part of a complete kit with at least 10 templates.
If I understand correctly what you’re thinking of doing, I don’t believe it would be accepted on its own.
You’ll want to make sure of the rules around naming before going down this route. However, if they are generally the same, the only difference being the format (i.e. theme vs. template kit) then they would likely be considered a product family. In that instance you may be able to use the same name (check the naming rules in the help center to be absolutely sure). However, creating a template kit that uses the name of an item you do not own, would not be acceptable.
