Wix Editor: Getting a New Template for Your Site


If you want to switch your site's template, you can create a new site and select a template from the available options. You can also apply an existing Premium plan to your new site to ensure you still have all the features you need.


Creating a new site


Get started on building the site you want by selecting a new template. There are a variety of options and categories available (Business & Services, Store, Creative, Community, and Blog), so you can choose the best style for your brand needs.

To choose a new template:

  1. Sign in to your Wix account.

  2. Go to the Templates Page.

  3. Select the category you want to open the drop-down menu.

  4. Select the relevant sub-category.

  5. Hover over your chosen template.

  6. Click Edit to open the template in the Editor.

 

Building your site content


After you create a new site, add elements to build content for visitors. You can choose new elements from the Add Elements panel, or copy and paste elements from another site for a quicker, easier experience.


To copy and paste elements between sites:


1. Open your previous site's Editor.

2. Click the element you want to copy, or multi-select several elements.

3. Right-click and select Copy, or press Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on a Mac).

4. Open the relevant page in your new site's Editor.

5. Paste the elements by doing one of the following:

  • Right-click and select Paste, or press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac).

  • Right-click and select Paste & Apply Site Theme, or press Ctrl+Shift+V (Cmd+Shift+V on a Mac) to apply the color and text themes on the target site.

6. When pasting elements that contain media files, choose to either:

  • Don't Upload: Paste without uploading the files to the Media Manager of the target site.

  • Upload: Paste and upload the files to the Media Manager of the target site.

 

Applying a Premium plan to your new site


Once you've chosen your new site template and built its content, you can apply an existing Premium plan to it, and move over all of the features you need to continue to grow your business.


To reassign an existing plan:

  1. Go to Premium Subscriptions in your Wix account.

  2. Click the More Actions icon next to the relevant plan.

  3. Click Assign to a Different Site.

  4. Select the checkbox next to the new site.

  5. Click Next.

  6. Click Assign to confirm.
