Pre-Installation Checklist
WordPress version
WordPress version
Confirm the site is on WordPress 6.9+ (latest 6.9.x recommended) from Dashboard → Updates or Tools → Site Health.
Elementor & Atomic Editor
Elementor & Atomic Editor
Skelementor targets Elementor 4.0+, where the Atomic Editor (Atomic Elements, Classes, Variables) is the stable foundation—not a separate beta track. New Elementor installs enable Atomic features by default; if your site was created earlier or Atomic was disabled, turn Atomic Editor on before importing.
Check version
In WordPress admin, open Elementor → System Info and confirm Elementor 4.0.0 or newer (install or update from the Elementor plugin page if needed).
Confirm Atomic Editor
Go to Elementor → Editor → Settings and ensure Atomic Editor is enabled, or follow Elementor’s in-editor notice when Atomic is available but off.
