# Template Builder

## Overview <a href="#id-1-overview" id="id-1-overview"></a>

The Theme Builder is an interface that allows you to use Elementor Page Builder to setup theme templates and assign those custom templates to pages or posts across your theme. With the Theme Builder, you have complete control over the static elements of your website, and because you can include or exclude templates on any page or post throughout your site, there is really no longer any need to manually edit a theme template file ever again.

\
You can find Theme Builder in your WordPress dashboard, right below Theme Options Panel:

**There are a few options you need to set before editing the content:**

* **Display On**: here you can control where your custom header/footer/popup will be visible; you can choose between page types, special pages, or specific pages; use Add Display Rule to combine multiple display rules (eg. Front Page + specific page);&#x20;
* **Hide On:** you can also exclude the custom header/footer/popup from certain pages, using Add Exclusion Rule.
* **Popup Options:** Here you can setup a popup template for your site

Blocks are templates that can be used anywhere on your website using shortcodes. There are no additional options when creating a new block, aside from the Name:

After creating your new block, you'll see the shortcode in the templates list:
{% endhint %}
