Free WordPress templates

Most "free WordPress templates" you find are either a static theme you can't easily rearrange, or a teaser for a paid page-builder bundle. Unyson+ takes a different route: it's a free page builder with a built-in Template Library of ready-made sections and whole pages that you drop onto the canvas and edit like any other content — no pro tier, no license key, no code.

This guide shows the three free ways to get a template into your site and make it your own:

  1. Insert a premade template from the Template Library.
  2. Save your own section or page as a reusable template.
  3. Turn any design (an existing site, or an AI-generated layout) into a template with the Site Converter.

What you get (and why it's actually free)​

  • A drag-and-drop page builder that outputs clean, native WordPress content — not a locked proprietary format.
  • A Template Library: a browsable catalog of premade sections (hero, stats band, testimonials, pricing, CTA…) and whole pages, downloaded on demand so the plugin stays lean.
  • Global Templates: reusable sections that stay in sync across every page.
  • No "unlock this in Pro" walls — Unyson+ and its extensions are free.
One-time setup

Install and activate Unyson+ (free). The template catalog ships in the Template Library extension — turn it on under Unyson+ → Extensions (it pulls in the page builder automatically).

Option 1 — Insert a premade template​

  1. Edit any page and open the Page Builder.
  2. Click the Templates menu (top-right of the builder).
  3. Browse Sections or Pages, pick one, and it drops onto the canvas ready to edit.
  4. Click any element to change its text, images, colors and layout — it's normal builder content now, not a frozen design.

Because a template is just page-builder content, it automatically picks up your site's global colors and fonts — so a dropped-in section looks like your brand, not a stock demo.

Option 2 — Save your own template (reuse your best sections)​

Built a section you love? Keep it:

  1. In the builder, hover a Section or Column and click Save as Template.
  2. Give it a name. It now appears under the Templates menu's Load Template list, ready to insert on any page — each insert is an independent copy you can tweak freely.

Make it a synced template​

If you want one section — a footer CTA, a contact band — to stay identical everywhere, turn on Save as Global Template in that same dialog. Every page then references one source, so editing it once updates them all. Full details: Global Templates.

💡 Copy-paste doesn't scale

Pasting the same hero onto twenty pages means twenty places to fix when the phone number or offer changes — and it's easy to miss one. A Global Template is the content version of a CSS custom property: define it once, reference it everywhere, edit in one place.

Option 3 — Turn any design into a template​

Have a design somewhere else — an old site, a one-page HTML export, or a layout an AI builder made? The free Site Converter rebuilds it as native, editable page-builder content, which you can then Save as Template and reuse. That turns "a design I like" into "a template I own," for free.

FAQ​

Are the templates really free? Yes. Unyson+, the page builder and the Template Library are free — there's no pro tier gating the templates.

Can I edit a template, or is it locked? Fully editable. A template inserts as ordinary builder content — change text, images, colors, spacing and structure like anything else.

Do templates match my theme's colors and fonts? Yes — they use your global colors and fonts, so an inserted section adopts your brand automatically.

What's the difference between a Template and a Global Template? A Template inserts an independent copy each time. A Global Template inserts a synced reference — edit it once and every page updates. Pick per use.

Where are downloaded templates stored? In your WordPress uploads folder, not inside the plugin — so adding templates never bloats the plugin.
