The Porto Shopify was just updated, will the WordPress also be updated soon? (How many days?) Will the ‘Compare’ button come for WordPress version as on Shopify version?
Hi,

Thanks.
Mobile-First Indexing Is Here Google has also announced that mobile-first indexing is here. That means that your sites will be crawled by the Google “smartphone” bot more often, meaning that mobile friendly sites are more important than ever. This blog post reviews these changes and how they could impact your site.
New Mobile-Friendly Test Mobile SEO is more important than ever with Google’s recent announcement about mobile-first indexing. They have released a new tool that allows you to check how mobile-friendly your site is. Be sure to run this on your site and fix any errors it reports – your rankings could drop if you don’t.
So we ran it on the shop demo 1 which is what we are planning to use on our website and the results are less than satisfactory SEE HERE: https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly?view=fetch-info&id=X6I_PIh80OzDXg5ZNAtueQ
Tested on: 9 Apr 2018 at 10:40 Page partially loaded Not all page resources could be loaded. This can affect how Google sees and understands your page. Fix availability problems for any resources that can affect how Google understands your page.
Can you consider this NEW Mobile First-Indexing SEO in your next theme update please.
Hi,

And also Could you please purchase support extension to get further support? Your 6 months of support period is now expired. According to Envato support policy, renewing support is required for further support.
Thanks for your understand.
Hi, Can you please have an option to remove the changes you made to the YITH woocommerce wishlist plugin? (that replaces text with confusing and unnecessary heart icon?) I tried and it seems impossible to remove all the code and extra files used and revert back to the standard YITH plugin which is much clearer for customers. I have searched here and many others have had this problem also. I am stuck now as I want to use YITH premuim plugin but I can’t without making lots of changes to the porto core theme files.
Hi,
As you know that we have used YITH woocommerce wishlist plugin in our theme and also we modified it with the theme files asper the demo requirement so it’s difficult to revert back all the changes because for that we have to change all the files of the Theme right. So it you want premium Plugin you can buy and use it or please contact us through our support system and explain your issue there so some small issues that you are facing if possible will be solve with the help of Custom CSS.
Thanks.

Hi,
It’s been about two weeks since I loaded one of your demos and I’ve been modifying the web pages to my liking but I’ve been able to realize that the theme is not working well after loading the demo.
It’s been slow and the color change modifications aren’t working.
I would be grateful if you could help me solve this problem.
Thank you.
Hi,
That is the cache problem, The best practice is when you are in development mode then disable all the cache plugins on your site and server too and remove site and server cache then finally check your site after removing the browser cache. hope your issue will solve.
OR
It seems the permission issue. Your server did not give permission to add/save the settings of the Theme Options. Basically, when you saved the theme options then it’s created the skin_1.css file inside the CSS folder, because of permission the theme is not able to create this file on your site. Please contact your hosting provider to change the permission to 777 or 755 of the CSS folder and all files.
Thanks.
Hi, i can’t find the revolution slider demo files after downloading the porto theme
Hi,
We already enabled 1-click install for revolution content slider import. You can find that particular slider with the demo when you import it.
Thanks
How solv this problem above:
“Your theme (Porto Child) contains copies of outdated WooCommerce custom files. These files need to be updated to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. You can see which files are affected on the system status page. If you have any doubts, check with the author of the topic”...
Hi,
Actually, we have released our last Theme update on 22nd February 2018 and Woocommerce also released its last/latest update on the same day that is why two templates are outdated and our development team is working on the next Theme updated and soon within a couple of weeks you will find an update released without having an issue until that please be patience.
Thanks for understanding.
is Porto version 4.2.0 compatible with WooCommerce version 3.3.4 ? or do i need to wait for a new porto version before updating my WooCommerce ?
Hi,
Porto WordPress 4.2 is compatible with the latest version of Woocommerce 3.3.4 just two templates are outdated when you update the plugin and it makes no issue while you will use it and soon hopefully in the mid of this month you will also find an update released.
Thanks.
Hi,
First of all thanks for showing interest in the Porto WordPress theme.
We have not tested this plugin yet with our theme and it’s not possible to guarantee 3rd party plugins for us, but we think that if the plugin is coded perfectly it should work with any WooCommerce theme like Porto. You can also confirm from the plugin author. This is the best info we can provide at this stage.
Thanks for your time 
Hello, how to translate check-out in card menu ?
Hi,
Please read the documentation here about the theme translation: http://newsmartwave.net/wordpress/porto/documentation/#translationThanks
Hello.. For a long time i have had problems with opening to edit product, pages, posts and porto theme options, site hang and never stop loading unless i do a refresh etc. Problem did only appear in my live site where i am using SSL, my test site without SSL was fast and ok.
I have tested different SSL and deactivated all plugins, and today i found that deactivating Dynamic Featured Image plugin fixed the problem with product, pages and posts but not Porto theme options which still has loading problems even with all plugins disabled.
Installed SSL in my test site and now has the same problem there, Porto theme options hang and is problematic to open.
Any idea?
Brgds Rune
Further testing.. Deactivated ALL plugins and still problems to fully load theme options, especially after i have opened a product to edit just before. If i leave / close theme options with the custom CSS section open the problem is biggest, any other section of theme options seems to load ok if theme options closed when another section than custom css was opened.
I have also deactivated Porto functionality plugin and then the entire wp-admin was working a lot better, but still problems opening theme options if closed before from custom css section.
Deactivated porto theme and activated woo storefront and wp-admin was working smooth and a lot faster. So there is for sure something conflicting with Porto theme and SSL.
I get this as below when i open theme options: Slow network is detected. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5636954674692096 for more details. Fallback font will be used while loading: https://test.arctic-fritid.no/wp-content/themes/porto/inc/admin/ReduxCore/assets/css/vendor/elusive-icons/fonts/elusiveicons-webfont.woff?v=2.0.0
Then when it hang and just load and load it has problems loading this .js: https://test.arctic-fritid.no/wp-content/themes/porto/inc/admin/ReduxCore/inc/fields/ace_editor/vendor/ace.js?ver=1522927194Renamed that ace.js file and now theme options loads with no problems in just 0.5 sec.
So i have now activated all plugins again and it seems like wp-admin works just 100%. I can without problems open posts, pages, products and theme options. Only problem is that the custom CSS in theme options no longer has its editor.
This means that the file ace.js somehow conflicts with SSL.
Then you know where to look
Brgds Rune

Hi, I use Italian language. I activated the breadcrumbs and the word home (homepage) is translated into Italian as casa. How can I keep it in English, home?
Hi,
Please edit the Italian Language .po file and change the word Casa into Default Home then regenerate the .mo file again and upload both of them to the same folder as you did before. You can use the Poedit software for editing the languages files. https://poedit.net/
If your issue will not solve then please send us your site login details through our support system so we will check and solve the issue on your site.
Thanks
is it possible to replace the word “home” or “casa” with an icon?
Hi,
Just copy and paste the below given CSS code to Appearance >> Theme Options >> Skin >> Custom CSS. Your issue will solve.
.page-top.page-header-6 ul.breadcrumb>li.home a:after {
content: "\e883" !important;
font-family: 'porto' !important;
position: absolute !important;
left: 0 !important;
top: 0 !important;
text-indent: 0 !important;
}
you can see it header-6 is written just replace the number with the header number you are using and you can also change the code of the icon as per your requirement.
Thanks.
I uploaded the theme; however, I am getting an error message from WordPress that says, “The link you are following has expired”. I have already tried to download the file again. I downloaded the file with all the files and documentation, but only uploaded the porto.zip file. To do so, I followed these steps:
Log in to your WordPress admin area. Browse to Appearance > Themes. Click on ‘Add New’. Click ‘Upload’. Browse and select the theme zip file to ‘Upload’.
I have also tried to upload it directly into the server, but that was not working either.
How should I resolve the issue so that I can upload the theme to WordPress?
Hi,
Please follow the documentation here and the installation video as well, also please check the theme requirement as well: http://newsmartwave.net/wordpress/porto/documentation/#installThanks

Hi, Thanks for the smooth theme – working on our e-shop. Would you give us a clue how to fix the %20 %2C and so on strings in the variation fields? We’re having issues with cyrillic encoding in the same fileds. For example we’re getting fileds like: 7%2C4%20%u043A%u0412%u0442%20/%2032%20%u0410%201%u0444. Encoding and everything works generally – the problem is with variation fields only. Thanks
Hi,Our development team is working on the new update and soon you will find an update in which you will find this problem solved so until that please be patience.
Thanks for your understanding.
Do you have any information on the update release date? We need to publish our shop already and if this option doesn’t work, we don’t really have a working online store…
The update will release by end of this week.
Thanks
Hello,
Don’t want to be annoying but we still can’ use our online shop. Any news on the release?
Hi,
Our new release is almost ready to go you will find it in the next coming week until that please be patience.
Thanks.

Thanks.
Could you please tell me when the next update will be released?
I’ve noticed that since update 4.2.0 that the mobile menu requires custom CSS alterations to make sure it is centered evenly in background and header. You can see an example here: https://i.imgur.com/G7lGJau.png It is inconvenient to have to fix and should be addressed by your developers.
Could you also please consider adding more Mobile Theme Options and AMP page styling? Having to download a separate plugin to add AMP styling to the pages could be easily added to the Porto Theme Options. It is also important to SEO and would be greatly appreciated by your customers.
I would also like to request that your ticket and support system respond to my application to create an account on the SW-THEMES Support on the SmartWave site. I have purchased multiple licenses of Porto and would like to setup support accounts for the different clients I have. It is incredibly frustrating to have to wait extended periods of time to create an account, let alone have a support ticket answered.
I don’t want other potential customers to read this and be deterred from purchasing this theme. Porto is a robust, well made theme and with the proper plugin and hosting combination, can function and perform as an elite website. I have no problem recommending this theme to DIY clients and friends.
Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience but our development team is working on the new update and hope you will find an update in the middle of this month with solved all the problems until that please be patience.

If you are unable to create an account on the support system then just email us your issue along with your product purchase code which has not expired support period so we will set a support account for you. email: newsmartwave@gmail.com
Thanks.
