How to Use Paste from Other Site in Elementor


Elementor’s Paste from other site option lets you bring copied Elementor data into another Elementor canvas. The most important detail is easy to miss: after selecting the menu option, keep the paste window open and press Ctrl + V on Windows or Command + V on macOS.

Elementor documents a similar process for copying an element between Elementor websites: copy the element, right-click the destination canvas, choose Paste from other site, and confirm with the keyboard shortcut before closing the window.

Where to find Paste from other site

  1. Open the destination page in the Elementor editor.
  2. Find the empty canvas area or container where the imported layout should appear.
  3. Right-click inside that area.
  4. Select Paste from other site.
  5. When the prompt appears, press Ctrl + V or Command + V.
  6. Wait for the imported content to appear before editing.

How the Chrome extension fits into this workflow

HTML to Elementor – Web Page Converter prepares Elementor-ready data from a supported webpage section or clean HTML code. After capture or conversion, the data is copied to the clipboard. Your next step is to use Elementor’s paste interface on the destination website.

For a visual walkthrough, read how to convert a webpage section into Elementor widgets. When you already have HTML code, use the Convert Code workflow.

Compatibility checks from Elementor’s documentation

Elementor’s official help documentation states that, for copying and pasting between Elementor websites, both sites must use Elementor 3.11 or later and should have the same relevant features enabled. It also gives an example: a container cannot be copied into a site that is using sections, while a section can be copied into a site using containers.

These checks are especially useful when a pasted layout appears incomplete or Elementor displays a compatibility warning.

A reliable paste checklist

  • Keep the Elementor paste prompt open while pressing the keyboard shortcut.
  • Paste into the intended empty canvas or container area.
  • Wait until the extension confirms that capture or conversion has completed.
  • Test a simple section before attempting a large or complex page.
  • Confirm that destination-site Elementor features match the imported structure.
  • Review tablet and mobile layout behavior after paste.

Why imported styling may need refinement

A destination website can use different global fonts, colors and spacing rules. That is often desirable: you want the imported structure to fit the brand system of the new website. Review headings, buttons, links, breakpoints and assets rather than assuming that the first paste is the final design.

What to do when paste fails

If the keyboard shortcut does not work, if the prompt closes too early, or if the result is incomplete, work through the ordered steps in Elementor Paste from other site not working: fixes. If icons and images are the only missing elements, use the separate missing images and SVG guide.

Frequently asked questions

Should I click Paste or press Ctrl + V?

Use both parts of the Elementor flow: choose Paste from other site, then press the keyboard shortcut while the prompt is open.

Can I paste an entire webpage?

The extension includes broader capture workflows, but selected-section capture is often easier to validate. Compare the options in full-page capture vs selected-section capture.

Do I need Elementor Pro?

The answer depends on the imported widgets and destination-site features. Review Elementor Free vs Pro for HTML imports.

HTML to Elementor Converter: Step-by-Step Guide

An HTML to Elementor converter helps transform a supported webpage section or HTML layout into Elementor-ready data that can be pasted into the Elementor visual editor. The goal is not to produce a frozen HTML block. The useful outcome is an editable structure that can be reviewed, styled and adapted inside Elementor. This guide explains the practical conversion routes available in HTML to Elementor – Web Page Converter, when to use each route, how to inspect the output, and where manual refinement is still necessary. What does “HTML to Elementor conversion” mean? HTML describes the structure of content displayed in a browser. Elementor uses its own editor structure, containers, widgets and settings. A converter acts as a bridge: it interprets supported source content and creates data that Elementor can understand. That distinction matters. Pasting HTML into an HTML widget can display a layout, but the result is not the same as converting a layout into individual Elementor w...
