Create Theme Template

Write

Creates a new Elementor Pro theme builder template (header, footer, single, archive, 404, etc.).

Requires the The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin (which registers under the 'tpae' ability category) on WordPress 6.9+, with Elementor active. Every ability requires the current user to have the 'edit_posts' capability (and 'edit_post' for the specific post being modified); abilities that create or edit content also verify Elementor and, where relevant, the target The Plus widget are available. A subset of abilities (theme templates, template conditions, dynamic tags, popups, and some custom-code abilities) only register when Elementor Pro is active, and many widget abilities load only in the free plugin when the Pro add-on is inactive.

What it does

Creates a new elementor_library post with the given title and template_type meta, sets the elementor_library_type taxonomy term to the template_type, and initializes the post with empty Elementor page data via save_page_data. Returns the new post ID, title, and the admin edit URL. Only registered when ELEMENTOR_PRO_VERSION is defined.
