Share templates between sites in a multisite network

Prerequisites

• I have searched for similar feature requests in both open and closed discussions and cannot find an existing request.
• I have verified that the feature is still missing from the latest stable versions of Elementor or Elementor Pro.

What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe..

When you work on a multisite with many sites and you want everyone to use the same single post template (for example), you have to upload the template to all the child sites, and if you have many sites it becomes very complicated to maintain

Describe the solution you'd like.

In the template display conditions, add the option to perform on the current site or on all sites

Describe alternatives you've considered.

This would be extremely useful to share say header/footer design templates so only one design is needed for all sites on the multisite. The amount of time and maintenance required at this end would be enormous if you would consider this.

copy-webpack-plugin is not a standard dependency of this project — it is not listed in frontend/package.json and not referenced in frontend/webpack.config.js on the current develop branch.

So if your build is failing on that module, it most likely means you (or a patch you applied) added a require("copy-webpack-plugin") to webpack.config.js without also adding it to the dependencies.

To fix it:

cd frontend
npm install --save-dev copy-webpack-plugin

Then commit both the updated package.json and package-lock.json before re-running make docker-local.

Why running npm install locally did not help

The .dockerignore at the repo root excludes node_modules/:

/frontend/node_modules/
/node_modules/

So your locally-installed modules are never copied into the Docker build context. Inside Docker, make all runs npm ci (Makefile line 298), which installs only what is listed in package-lock.json. If copy-webpack-plugin is not in the lock file, it will not be installed, regardless of what you have locally.

TL;DR

1. Add copy-webpack-plugin to frontend/package.json (npm install --save-dev copy-webpack-plugin from the frontend/ directory).
2. Commit the resulting package.json and package-lock.json changes.
3. Re-run make docker-local.
