This should be done before importing the template kit.

Steps
To Import your Export Kit from another website:
- From Elementor > Tools > Import / Export click the Start Import button
- The Import Kits page will open
- Drag your Export Kit .ZIP file to the area provided, or click to select the .ZIP file from your local computer
- You will now be asked to choose the content you wish to be imported. By default, all items are checked.
- The importer will notify you of any templates that are currently in use on your existing website and give you the option to overwrite each. Templates left unchecked will still be imported, however, the display conditions will not be set. Choose the most appropriate options for you at this time.
- The process will start immediately. Depending on your file size, the process will take several seconds to a couple of minutes to complete. Once completed, you will be prompted to return to your dashboard.
Important: We recommend that you backup your site before importing a kit file.
Tip: If you develop your website locally using Local by Flywheel, Xampp, or other server solutions, you must allow inbound traffic to your web server. The importer must be able to reach the source files in order to grab images and other dependencies. This is done by enabling the Live Link (Local by Flywheel), or by Port Forwarding on others. Refer to your server documentation. If unable to do so, you will need to manually replace the missing dependencies on the new website.
How To Fix Background Image
In the elementor template import process where this documentation was created, the elementor import feature had an issue when applying the background image. It hasn't been able to run smoothly according to what we show like our live demo. So you need to setup the background, by:
Go to Elementor Site Settings
Click Background
Click and choose background image
Type "6.jpg" into the search bar to find the background's name, then click the Select button.
Click the Update button to save changes
