need help with importing json template to actual page

[bressler1995]

Hello everyone, I have a simple elementor compatible theme that I've been building and I have been attempting to build a way into it to import templates. So far I have a php file that attempts to do this. But it only imports into the template library which is not very ideal as I would like to have the templates import into actual pages. I've tried to potentially convert the post type of the template into a regular page but to no avail. Not sure if you guys have a function that Im overlooking in the documentation or if there's a different approach I need to be taking.

Any help is appreciated.

`<?php

require_once("../../../../../wp-load.php");



if ( !current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) )  {
    wp_die( __( 'You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.' ) );
}



$process = urldecode($_POST['process']);

// if($process == "all") {
//     importTemplate(get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . "/components/json/home.json", "home");
// }

importTemplate(get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . "/components/json/home.json", "home");

function importTemplate( $filepath, $filename) {  
    $fileContent = file_get_contents( $filepath  );  
    \Elementor\Plugin::instance()->templates_manager->import_template( [  
            'fileData' => base64_encode( $fileContent ),  
            'fileName' => $filename . ".json",  
        ]  
    );

    // echo d(\Elementor\Plugin::instance());

    if ( empty( $result ) || empty( $result[0] ) ) {
        return;
    }

    $idforconvert = $result[0]['template_id'];
    duplicate($idforconvert);

}

function duplicate($post_id) {
    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    $title   = get_the_title($post_id);
    $oldpost = get_post($post_id);
    $post    = array(
      'post_title' => $title,
      'post_status' => 'publish',
      'post_type' => 'page',
      'post_content'   => $oldpost->post_content,
      'post_parent'    => 0,
      'post_author' => $current_user->ID
    );
    $new_post_id = wp_insert_post($post);
    // Copy post metadata
    $data = get_post_custom($post_id);
    foreach ( $data as $key => $values) {
      foreach ($values as $value) {
        add_post_meta( $new_post_id, $key, $value );
      }
    }

    return $new_post_id;
  }
