This is a poor quality theme. It feels cobbled together, with Elementor modules that are hard-coded and difficult to customize. Translations are a mess: wrong textdomains (like zixtar), many missing or irrelevant translations, and language files with wrong names (strike.pot for the theme, student-2-plugin.pot for the plugin). Some strings are clearly copied from unrelated themes or plugins.

No child theme is included, and to even get translations working, I had to add custom code in my child theme’s functions.php. Without advanced WordPress skills, this theme is almost impossible to use or adapt properly.

Not recommended unless you’re ready for a lot of extra work.

Hi, Thanks for your feedback on the Udrive theme. We’re sorry for the trouble and appreciate you highlighting these issues. Our team is reviewing the concerns and will work on improvements in future updates.

Like others in the comments, I also encountered the bugs with the social media links and the preloader. Here are the workarounds I applied:

Text in the Preloader is located in udrive/header.php Copy the file to your child theme under the root directory and replace the desired letters in [letter] like this:

<span data-text-preloader="[letter]" class="letters-loading">[letter]</span>



Social Media Icons / FontAwesome The social media icon links are buggy because the udrive plugin is outdated and faulty. The template itself is much newer and more up-to-date. However, the FontAwesome library/CSS would need to be updated here.

The social media links can be correctly saved and displayed as follows:
  1. Clear the link in the respective social media icon by typing “clear” and save.
  2. Remove the icon from the pool by unselecting it and saving.
  3. Re-add the icon and insert the link. Then save.
  4. Repeat this process for all social media links.

Since FontAwesome is integrated in the older version 5.5, I updated it to version 5.15. Personally, I missed TikTok. If there’s interest, I can also share a workaround on how to replace icons. I swapped out Tumbler-Square.

Hello, Just bought this, it’s a poor theme, cannot customize easily as wrongly advertised- much work needed. When is the new update coming?

Hi, kindly submit a support ticket, then our team will assist you. Thanks. https://themekalia.ticksy.com/

We would like to change all yellow elements to a different colour, but we are encountering some difficulties here, as it is not defined where the element is located for various elements. As an example, we have tried to adapt the shape elements in the slider, but cannot find where they are integrated.

Hi, we will update color change option very soon. Thanks.

what does very soon mean in days? We have to finalise the customer project. I’ll help you a little, the shapes are integrated into the theme as background images. I will now adjust the colours of the images and upload them to the same folder (that would at least be a solution that would help us). Nevertheless, I can’t understand how you can’t integrate such an important component into a theme in a customisable way. What I find worst of all, however, is that you don’t even seem to know what has been implemented in your theme.

Hi, please contact with support team and tell him which color you want to change and send him your color code, our support team will update your site. Thanks.

How to change the preloader text

Hi, please kindly submit the support ticket. Our team will help you. Thanks.

I recently purchased the theme from your platform, excited about its potential to enhance my project. However, upon attempting to import the data, I encountered the same issue as many others: the import process consistently halts at 4% and then restarts from 0%.

After reading several negative reviews regarding this specific issue and the challenges with support, I was disappointed to experience it firsthand. Despite the theme being last updated on April 30, 2024, I had hoped that any bugs would have been resolved. Unfortunately, this has not been the case.

Today, I opened a support ticket (Ticket #3636045) in hopes of resolving this issue promptly. As the success of my project relies on the functionality of this theme, I am reaching out to you directly to express the urgency of my situation.

I understand that you likely receive numerous inquiries daily, but I kindly request your prompt attention to my ticket. Your assistance in resolving this matter would be immensely appreciated.

Thank you for your time and attention to this issue.

Hi, you responded our support team. Thanks.

I have some questions regarding this WordPress theme I am considering purchasing:

- Are there any known issues that may arise during the installation of the demo content (everyone says this WP theme has issues with import)? - Can you provide on-site support or assistance if any issues arise during the implementation process?

Hi, if you face any problem our support team help to you. Thanks.

Before buying this :-

1. Are there any issues when installing the demo content?

2.Is this template compatible with elementor?

3.R there any issue with the plugins?

4. Can u provide on site support if there is any issue?

5. is this theme compatible with woocommerce?

Hi, this theme build with elementor and demo working fine then if you face any problem our support team help to you. Last point woocommerce not compatible with this theme. Thanks.

No recommendation. You cant install the demo, on the tickets they don’t respond. Don’t buy it till they fixed their technical stuff, otherwise it doesn’t make sense.
