Step 3: Once you’re inside the Elementor editor, from the bottom left, click on the save options
& then select “Save as Template”
Next, name your Template & then save it. (I’m saving it as Tutor Landing Home)
Once done, exit the editor & come back to the WordPress dashboard.
Step 4: Now, Go to Pages & then click on “Add New” to Create a new page.
Next, give your desired page name & then click on the “Edit with Elementor” button.
Once you’re inside the elementor editor, click on the “folder icon” i.e. Add Template option.
Next, go to “My Templates” & select the landing page you wanted & then click on the Insert button.
In my case, it’s “Tutor Landing Home”
Quick Note: A small popup for Import Document settings may appear.
If you select yes, the elementor canvas layout will be applied.
But if you want your landing page to contain your header & footer,
then go to your page settings & select the full-width layout.

🔌 Elementor Widgets to Enhance your Elementor Website…
I changed my homepage and for some reason, all of my blog posts and other pages including the homepage lost ranking in Google.
Homepage ranking dropped significantly and the blog posts are indexed but have not ranked.
Can you suggest what I could do and possible reasons, if you have any?
Hey Kumar, the thing is Google recently launched a core update, which could be affecting your site’s rankings.
It’s a good idea to check your Google Search Console data for any technical issues, such as 404 errors or 3XX redirects.
If you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out to me at contact@kuldeeprathore.com.
I’d love to help.

Hey, i tried for two days to get it to work but it keep going back to he old page (by WP Bakery) I have deactivated and deleted WP Bakery plugin and installed Elementor Pro but it doesn’t work. Please advise me.
That’s Strange Jack.
Anyway, you can simply try creating a new page (with a different title for the page) and then put the same landing page template & then set the newly created page as homepage under customizer settings or Settings > Reading. Apart from that, make sure to clear cache if you’re using any caching plugin.
Let me know if this works.
It’s been a while since I used wordpress again and I had forgotten majority of it and this was giving me the most struggle I really really wanna say thank you for this tutorial like from the bottom of my heart. I say this YOU HAVE BEEN AN INCREDIBLE HELP!! GOD BLESS!! Thank you!
Most welcome Elia.

I’m glad it helped. Thank you so much Frank for your comment & appreciation, it means a lot.
Hello,
it doesn’t worked! I created the page and change it as front page everything looks right but it is still the old front page showing as home page! Do you have any idea why?
Thanks
Patrik
Hey Patrik, so sorry to hear that.
Brother, I’ve already mentioned the possible ways by which you can set the landing page as homepage.
But if you’re still not able to get it then make sure to…
a) set the custom page (landing page) as homepage under settings > reading settings > your homepage displays > a static page (homepage) > choose the landing page & save changes.
b) clear your website’s cache & check it in incognito mode
Apart from this, there’s another way & i.e by using a 301-redirect plugin.
You can simply redirect your homepage url to the custom landing page using the plugin.
Give it a try & I hope it works out well.
Do update me whether it does or doesn’t.
Regards,
Kuldeep

Thank you so much!
I’ve been looking for this answer for about 2 hours without finding any information. I found your site and thanks to you, now my site is working: https://lananogranja.com/
My site is in Spanish, I hope you can still give me some feedback!
Hey Ricardo, thanks for your kind words.
I just gave a quick look at your site & here’s my feedback…
First & foremost, the UI-UX is good, the layout is modern & the animations are also done well.
But the thing that I feel you missed on is the CTA’s. Right from the hero section to the footer, I didn’t find any visible & eye-catching CTA’s.
You can add a few buttons as a CTA so that the user will take action i.e to contact you.
Apart from that, if you would like to get detailed feedback, you can email me at contact@kuldeeprathore.com (just to keep things private)
Cheers,
Kuldeep
