The plugin on the site and the agent in your account move together; every release has a number, the site updates itself from the account, and the number in the WordPress admin header says which one runs.

Everything on this page is in the app right now. Create your free account, open a project and watch a template become native Elementor. The plugin waits under Products and sites; it downloads as soon as your account holds credit, from a first top-up of $10, and from then on it keeps every site that carries your key up to date by itself.

T-Builder 0.9.16
6 changes- Every conversion makes the site a theme of its own, at once (account preference "A theme of its own after every conversion", on by default): one Elementor widget class per section, the design's screenshot, a description, author and tags in style.css, header.php and footer.php drawing the design's header and footer widgets, and a Theme Settings page under Appearance (Identity & brand, Colours, Typography, Layout & motion, Header, Footer, Contact & forms, Demo content, Live preview). The theme's colours and fonts lead; a section's own Style tab overrides them for that section. Installed at once; activated when the site still runs a default theme or one T-Builder built before, otherwise left installed with an offer to switch.
- Section widgets are named and iconed by their role (Site header, Hero, Feature grid, Figures strip, Steps process, CTA banner, Contact panel, Site footer, or the section's eyebrow: "Core values"), without the library prefix. Controls are grouped by what they are: Background (a picture or video laid over the section, darkened by a Scrim strength slider), Eyebrow, Heading, Body copy, Texts, Buttons, Images, repeaters named by their items (Stats, Cards, Chips, Menu links, Logos); Layout with Minimum height. The render service draws a screenshot of every page (1.3.0).
- The theme's Live Preview shows the design's home page instead of the site's old front page, until the site has a front page built from the theme; Theme Settings → Demo content makes the converted page the front page with one click (published and set as the front page), and a note after activation points there.
- Native Elementor, closer to the design: a wordmark (a few letters with a small picture set among them, a logo drawn in type) stays one piece on one line instead of a stack of boxes; a picture filling a section from behind becomes the section's own background (Style → Background) and scrims laid over it stretch with the section, under the content; a translucent ornament keeps its opacity through the background overlay, a pattern tile keeps its size and repeat, a layer set from the right or bottom edge stays anchored there, and one fading out through a gradient mask keeps the fade; a marquee keeps moving (its own keyframes, paused under the pointer, still on one line); boxes without a gap in the design get none instead of Elementor's default 20px.
- A page the site already publishes stays published through a conversion again, so a front page never turns into a draft behind the visitor's back.
site-reset: trashes the importer's drafts (published pages when asked), removes every section and app widget from the Elementor panel, the fetched templates and the themes T-Builder built (the earlier theme comes back), so "start over" is a clean slate.

Every conversion becomes a theme
T-Builder 0.9.16 turns each converted template into a WordPress theme at once, with role-named Elementor widgets, the design's screenshot, a Theme Settings page, and a real reset.
