Hello, @thesuperstar,

Porto WordPress is fully compatible with WP Bakery and Elementor Page Builder plugins.

You can use anyone as per your requirements.

WP Bakery is a far old plugin and compatible with Porto WordPress since Theme release.

&

Elementor is the newest plugin and compatible with Porto WordPress Theme for the last one year.

So it’s really simple, you can go with anyone which better meets your requirements.

As I explained above WP Bakery is an old plugin as compared with Elementor Page Builder so WP Bakery has more elements as compared to Elementor Page Builder but this does not mean that Elementor does not have anything, Elementor Page Builder also has a lot of Theme elements and we are continuously increasing and building it with our Theme, you can check the changelog of the Theme:

https://themeforest.net/item/porto-responsive-wordpress-ecommerce-theme/9207399#item-description__change_logs

Before Importing any plugin version Demo, you must have to understand its behavior, please read the below-given threads:

Hope this helps and all clear now.

Hello, @aurbi,

Can you please share the screenshot of your issue that what exactly the issue you are facing? so that I’ll check and provide you the best possible solution for it.

Regards, P-THEMES.

Hi. Thank you for your response. If you can let me know how to share the screenshot, it would be great. It gives error ’ This code was already used in localhost’. I have deactivated from localhost long while ago but it keeps giving me same error. Hope you will be able to help.

Thank You

Hello, @aurbi ,

OK, I got your issue, I have reset your purchase code, now you can use the same purchase code for registration of your theme.

Regards, P-THEMES.

Hello, @wegoecono,

Regards, P-THEMES.

Great! Why didn’t it get released within the theme? And were we supposed to get a notice about this as I didn’t see it. thanks again.

Hello, @wegoecono,

Hello, @dennygoosensen,

Hello, @madsandersen,

The Custom Icons on site: https://chilihouse.wpengine.com/ has been added using Custom CSS, you can check this screenshot: https://postimg.cc/Z04FSrhF

Regards, P-THEMES.

Yes I know.

That was the way we could add a custom icon. Do you recommend another way?

The issue is that we need other icons than the ones available in the Porto theme currently. How do we solve that?

Hello, @madsandersen,

Sorry to say that but there is no other way, you have to use Custom CSS for it as you already did, and by default, it only provides the functionality to use FontAwesome Icons.

Regards, P-THEMES.

Hello, @rtrmax,

Can you please share the URL of your site so that I’ll check and provide you the best possible solution for it.

Regards, P-THEMES.

Hello, @rtrmax,

Please copy and paste the below-given CSS code to Porto >> Theme Options >> Skin >> Custom CSS and check your site after removing the browser cache.

#header .searchform input {
    width: 250px !important;

    color: #000 !important;

Hello, @sourabhkejriwal,

If you check our Theme Changelog Carefully you will notice we always try to increase the Speed of the Site and it is listed in the Theme Changelog and Porto WordPress Theme is one of the Fastest Theme on ThemeForest.

We are sorry that you faced some problems working with our theme. But our theme is one of the most optimized on the market. In general, our theme is already optimized and doesn’t have too many resources to make your website slow. Most likely, your website performance suffers from the content you have added to your website. It may happen in case of too many plugins, large not optimized images, or other resources. So we suggest you remove unnecessary plugins, install some kind of JS & CSS optimizing plugins like Better WordPress Minify and a caching plugin like WP Super Cache, or use WP Rocket for both tasks. Also, you can use the GTmetrix tool to see what makes your website slow and optimize these parts of your website.

First of all, we would like to tell you that Google very often scores with 20-40 points mobile performance for 99% of websites built with WordPress. To get more points you need to have a really light page. For example remove all sliders, carousels and leave a few banners and products only. Then you will get a high result. But usually, our theme works very fast on mobile devices and don’t have any problems with performance. We suggest you test it on a few mobile devices and you will see that there are no real performance problems. Google PageSpeed gives you recommendations on how to improve the performance of your web site, but it does not actually measure the speed (aka loading time) of your website. If your site loads fast, you can safely ignore PageSpeed’s recommendations.

The traffic depends on a lot of different factors and not our theme only. The only argument from you was your website’s low score on Google Pagespeed. But it can’t be because of that if your real website speed is quite fast. We suggest you read an article from the WP Rocket team – one of the most experienced companies in terms of WordPress optimization. WordPress Optimization

Porto has optimized HTML, combined JS scripts, minified CSS, has style.css generator, conforms all the coding standards from WordPress (and it is checked and confirmed by Envato reviewers while uploading our theme to the market). We are always working on improving our theme’s speed and listen to all our customers’ reports. We release updates every 3-5 weeks so if any performance problems are reported they will be fixed asap.

Porto Comes with the default Speed Optimization Wizard Option, you will find under Porto >> Speed Optimization Wizard, So you have to use it and Minify the JS and CSS from there as well and use any third-party plugin for Compressing and Optimizing your site Images and also use server cache as well.

Basically, the Speed of the site is something which can be achieved using Customization, So I only able to suggest you the tested solution, Please read and follow the instructions written in this article: Speed of the site Article, Otherwise, If you want our paid Customization services, you can contact our Customization team or hire a developer.

That’s all.

Regards, P-THEMES.

so I tested again the simplest of pages which is possible: https://www.portotheme.com/wordpress/porto/shop1/about-us/

It’s even lighter then you mentioned, no banner, no product, no carousel etc. Just plain text and 1 bg image. But still, it performs very poorly.

Also in the above reply, you are saying its due to content which I added?? It’s your demo page I am using to test not my website…

Just to check your point that WordPress, in general, is slow I tested twenty twenty theme page with more content than the above proto about us page. And guess what, it got an almost perfect score!

check for yourself: https://lighthouse-dot-webdotdevsite.appspot.com//lh/html?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwentytwentydemo.org%2Fthe-web-designer%2F

Would you still not admit that this theme is not properly optimized as of now? And needs further fixes.

Hello, @sourabhkejriwal,

I am sorry but you did not understand, let me try again.

Have you checked that Demo URL with GTMatrix? Here is the result:

https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.portotheme.com/3qkoFPkO

As I explained above already:

we would like to tell you that Google very often scores with 20-40 points mobile performance for 99% of websites built with WordPress. To get more points you need to have a really light page. For example remove all sliders, carousels and leave a few banners and products only. Then you will get a high result. But usually, our theme works very fast on mobile devices and don’t have any problems with performance. We suggest you test it on a few mobile devices and you will see that there are no real performance problems. Google PageSpeed gives you recommendations on how to improve the performance of your web site, but it does not actually measure the speed (aka loading time) of your website. If your site loads fast, you can safely ignore PageSpeed’s recommendations.

And as you said you get the highest speed with WP default Theme, You are right, WP default Theme does not have all the features/options/style/content that Porto WordPress has, WordPress default Theme does not provide all the functionality that Porto WordPress has, so do not compare our Theme with WP default Theme but check other Theme on market you will find the same result, Hope this makes sense.

Regards, P-THEMES.

Hello, @Grupocarden,

Please copy and paste the below-given CSS code to Porto >> Theme Options >> Skin >> Custom CSS and check your site after removing the browser cache.

.star-rating span::before {
    color: gold !important;
}

Regards, P-THEMES.

Hello, @linkdigitaluk,

Please go to Porto >> Theme License and deactivate the Theme from there and then again activate the Theme with same purchase code and check the result, If the issue will still presist then please contact us via our support system with your site WP Admin Login details and with your purchase code so that we will check and solve the issue for you on your site.

Regards, P-THEMES.

Hello, @theisingert,

You can always get the latest plugin from that support article no need for the support for it and no you have to check with other Theme Authors.

Support extension is required for the Theme Support like here you asked multiple questions, again and again, If that was just for the plugin update I just replied to you in my very first reply and you can check the changelog of the Theme as well. This is Envato policy you may wish to confirm from them as well.

Regards, P-THEMES.

thanks so much, I really do appreciate your replies and help in this regard.

You’re Welcome!!!

Hello, @Joaquim_,

The Images settings of the products are coming from WooCommerce, Please read the below-given articles:

https://smartwave.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/12000052416--7-woo-image-sizes-changing

https://smartwave.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/12000052417--8-woo-images-looks-blurry-and-not-change-from-low-to-high

This is the default functionality of the WooCommerce new version as it does not provide the option to set height for the product image. it automatically resizes the image based on its width you set.

If you want anything beyond it then it requires Customization and if you want our paid Customization services, you can contact our Customization team for paid Customization services or hire any developer.

And some of the product layouts are default Theme layouts with the huge size of images, those will only be altered via Customization, You can change the default layout setting using the WooCommerce setting.

That’s all.

Regards, P-THEMES.

Hello, @ziccia,

This is not possible, by defaut Theme provides the functionality to change the column of the product category pages, and on Desktop version you can only change upto 2 columns and on mobile you can change it till 1 column as well from Porto >> Theme Options >> WooCommerce >> Product Archives and this is the default functionality of the Theme you can not set the single column on Desktop version, This requires Customization.

Regards, P-THEMES.

Hello, @batman4ever,

1. Cloning means migration of the site from one domain to another, and migration is not included in the Theme support policy, you can try with any method or plugin which better meets your requirements OR you can try with duplicator WordPress plugin as well, this is not official but this is from my personal experience:

https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

2. For License please read and follow the instructions written in this article:

https://smartwave.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/12000052391--3-transfer-re-use-license-from-test-to-live-site-only-for-testing-purpose-

And Install the latest WordPress on your new test/clone site and then migrate the Theme on your new/clone test site from your old site and then update the Theme and Plugins.

And regarding your support system account login, please share your Theme purchase code PDF file with us via our email newsmartwave@gmail.com so that we will check/verify and create the support account for you.
