  • Memory: 256MB or higher
  • Elementor: Current 4.x (Atomic Editor is stable and ships with the main Elementor plugin). New Elementor installations enable Atomic features by default; upgraded or legacy setups may need Atomic Editor turned on under WordPress Admin → Elementor → Editor → Settings.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Confirm the site is on WordPress 6.9+ (latest 6.9.x recommended) from Dashboard → Updates or Tools → Site Health.
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.
1

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).
2

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.
3

Enable Variables if needed

Turn on Variables if your import workflow includes reusable design tokens.
Confirm PHP version, available memory, and file permissions are sufficient for plugin installation and larger imports.

What You Should Have Ready

  • the latest Skelementor plugin ZIP
  • access to WordPress admin
  • Elementor 4.0+ with Atomic Editor enabled (default on new installs)
  • the bundled skelementor-utilities.css file or your own custom CSS set

Next Steps

Installation

Install the plugin and verify the environment.

Importing Classes & Variables

Run the first import once the plugin is active.

Troubleshoot

Review the first triage steps if setup or import issues appear.

Framework

Browse the bundled utility framework before larger imports.
