Hi. When will the update come? Waiting for features like the counter and the 5 most read articles. I mentioned it in the forum. Thank you, great theme.

Hey,

Thanks for the feedback. We have noted all the feedback and we’ll consider it based on number of other users requesting the same features. Next feature update will be at end of this year. If you need further assistance, please register and create a topic at our Support Forums.

Cheers.

Hi, I bought your theme because I would like to change my current theme. My aim is to avoid using page buliders. I have got performance issues and I believe it is because I am using Visual Composer. Now I have a doubt: is it possible to use your theme without page bulider or with Elementor? What is the impact if I do not use your page builder? Thanks , Oroz

Hey,

We have a custom pagebuilder with the theme that’s very lightweight compared to rest of pagebuilders and that’s the only one we support for building the homepage. If it’s not working, please check this topic (requires support forum login). For further support, please register and create a topic at our Support Forums.

Cheers.

Hi,

I very much like the look of your work but would like to ask just a few pre-sales questions before I buy and install. Is there a direct email I should use, or is here good?

Thanks John

Hey,

Glad to hear you like the theme. If you wish to email us, please use this contact form and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Cheers.

1- does it support RTL and Arabic Language

2- can I make slider in right side and tabs in left side as the image: https://prnt.sc/opm3qw

Hey,

1. Yes, RTL and Arabic is supported but you will have to translate a few theme words to Arabic yourself.

2. Sorry, we don’t have this feature.

Thanks.

Hello there is an issue with the top header banner. I have noticed that it does not show on computers with Windows 10.

Hey,

It’s likely you have an ad block software or browser extension that’s blocking it. For further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums and our tech team will confirm it.

Cheers.

Hi the thing is I don’t want an ad to appear there, I want to place my own banner and that’s what does not show. A plain image, either with a text widget either with the Bunyad Advertisement, nothing appears.

Hi! Is the plugin Revolution Slider version 5.4.7.4 is compatible with php 7.3 ? I want to migrate my site on php 7.3. Thanks for your answer! Gaëlle

Hi,

It’s not tested with PHP 7.3. Further, you only need to use this plugin if you actually use it create custom sliders. None of the sliders on our demos need this. For further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Cheers.

When will you update the theme? the last update is May 2018!

Hey,

We answered in your last comment and in the comments above. Please see this and other comments above.

Thanks.

An update was promised for May 2019, then June 2019… and then apparently it’s not coming. This is too bad. It was a reliable theme but it’s been way too long since the last update.

Hey,

Our roadmap for the “feature” update was changed and a new ETA isn’t available right now. The current version is fully compatible with latest version of WordPress. Releasing an update is not necessary right now as it’s already compatible and does not have any issues. It’s already tested and many customers are on latest versions.

Are you looking for any specific features or is something not working for you? If it’s the latter, please create a topic at our Support Forums as everything works just fine with latest WordPress v5.2+.

As for next “feature” update, we will release the it base on our roadmap but we don’t have an exact ETA at this time – we’ll post about it at our support forums when we have an exact date.

Thanks.

First of all I love this theme. I’ve been using this since 5 years now. I noticed that the last available update was on 28 May 2018. Do you plan to release a new update in the future and if yes, when? If not, why? The software (WordPress) version is only up to 4.9. The latest WordPress is 5.2.2 already. Thank you for your answer!

Hey,

Glad to hear from a long time buyer! The current version is fully compatible with latest version of WordPress. An update is not necessary as it’s already compatible with latest WordPress and does not have any issues. If any issues arise, we’ll release a maintenance update. It’s already well-tested with latest WordPress and many customers are on latest versions (only requirement is to use Classic Editor for homepage pagebuilder). As for next “feature” update, we will release it based on our roadmap, but unfortunately, don’t have an exact ETA at this time – we’ll post about it at our support forums when we have an exact date.

We have a FAQ on WordPress v5+ (login to support forums to view). If you’re experiencing any issues or need support, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Cheers.

Hi, will you still be updating and supporting this theme ? It has been more than a year now since it was last updated.

Thanks for the reply !

Yes, I agree that the theme works well with the latest version of wordpress, with the exception of the editor. It would also be nice if you could somehow make it a bit ligher – there s quite a lot of resources required, and I’m not talking about any additional user plugins, but the ones necessary for the theme to work properly !

When a version compatible with WordPress 5 will be available. You said June in the past.

Hey,

Current version is fully compatible with latest WordPress version. To build homepage using the page builder, Classic Editor plugin has to be installed but other posts and pages can use Gutenberg as well. You can read the FAQ here (login to support forums to view).

Cheers.

Hello,

I’m considering to buy this theme. My question is, is it possible to reduce the amount of posts visible below the home page or is it a standard feature?

Thanks!

Hey,

Sure, the number of posts can be adjusted using the page builder. Or if not using the page builder, the default WordPress archive settings are respected.

Cheers.

How to fix the menu bar so that it would always be visible in the mobile version of the site? sticky panel

Hey,

We can help with this but our support team is only available via our support site. For further support, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Cheers.

I still can not register https://theme-sphere.com/wp-login.php?action=register I enter the data but I see a white screen and that’s it! Look photo https://odesoftami.com/look-photo-white-screen.png

I found the reason, the registration does not take place on Chrome, but in the Windows Edge it turned out to be done! Perhaps it will be useful to someone! Screen – https://odesoftami.com/look-photo-white-screen-2.png

Hello, I’m interested in this theme, but I would like to know if its compatible with Thrive Architect page builder. Also, I’d like to know if this theme it’s incompatible with the newest version of WordPress 5.1.x. Thanks

Hey,

Sorry we haven’t tested the Thrive Architect plugin so cannot confirm on that. As for WordPress versions, yes it’s compatible with WP 5.1.x and v5.2+ – to build homepage using the page builder, Classic Editor plugin has to be installed but other posts and pages can use Gutenberg as well.

Cheers.

I also switched to the classic editor, as the Gutenberg editor wasn’t working.

But next to the ‘add media’ button it says ‘undefined’ in stead of an editor choosing button… Does the theme also have problems with the classic editor?

Hey,

For normal posts and pages, both Gutenberg and Classic Editor work fine. Classic Editor is only required for building the homepage with Page Builder. So this issue is most likely from a plugin conflict. Try to disable all the plugins first other than Sphere and Bunyad plugins. Further, please create a topic at our Support Forums and our tech team will check it out for you.

Cheers.

With ONLY Bunyad plugins and Disable Gutenberg activated, it still says “undefined”.

To reiterate, please note this isn’t a support section. You will have to create a new topic at our support forums (please don’t post in an existing topic but create a new topic to prevent delays).

Cheers.

I have a problem with an plugin and this theme. I use the plugin Affiliate-Toolkit and when i try to import product images, i can not see them, when i use this theme. Is there any solution to solve this problem?

Hey,

While we can’t guarantee compatibility with every plugin out there, please create a topic at our Support Forums and our tech team will have a look.

Cheers.

Are you planning to support this topic? If not, then why promise people that there will be support? Already more than a year has passed and there is no update and no !!! This is misleading for new customers, and then they face difficulties !!! When will the update? for which I paid $ 35 last half a year – and what’s the point of paying for support – if a year has passed and there is no update. If it continues like this, then many will begin to look for an alternative and forget about you as a terrible dream! you do not need customers? and sales?

Hey,

The current version is fully compatible with latest version of WordPress. Releasing an update is not necessary right now as it’s already compatible and does not have any issues. Just because it’s not updated doesn’t mean it has issues. It’s already tested and many customers are on latest versions. As for next “feature” update, we will release the it base on our roadmap but we don’t have an exact ETA at this time – we’ll post about it at our support forums when we have an exact date.

To clarify on updates vs support, updates are free and you don’t have to renew support for those. Support extensions are to receive continued support.

We offer support via our support site, as we have explained many times earlier. If you’re experiencing any issues, please create a topic at our Support Forums.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks for the previous answers. What page builder is the theme using?

Also, (2) Does it completely support Wordpress 5.0+? (3) Does the Gutenberg drag and drop editor also work with the theme? (4) Can the default editor and Gutenberg be used for editing “posts”? Thanks a lot.

Hey,

We have a custom page builder for this theme mainly used for building the homepage. It does work fine with WordPress 5.0+ but we recommend using Classic Editor as that’s required for the homepage editing. You may use Gutenberg for some posts/pages and Classic Editor for homepage only if you wish to. The Classic Editor plugin has a setting to set the default and alternate editor, or to use both at the same time.

Cheers.

When the miracle happens))) and the update will be released !!!

Hi, any idea if supports Polylang well?

Hey,

Some of our users do use Polylang but we only provide support for WPML which is our preferred and tested plugin.

Cheers.
