Hi, ArtemSemkin – I love this theme! Asli’s absolutely stunning.
Having parsed through every AJAX/GSAP/Interactive theme on this market, I’ve discovered that none are as smooth + beautiful as Asli…none of them. I’m certain that, as the market shifts from traditional “header/body/footer” site layouts, your sales will increase substantially.
If I could humbly make a recommendation – and if you’re looking to accelerate market adoption of your theme – consider crafting additional internal pages with more emphasis on text content. This addition will greatly assist your prospective buyers to envision their projects within the parameters of your fantastic theme, and it wouldn’t be restricted to the portfolio theme market.
I’d wager 10 Asli licenses (lol) that, if you took a solid week to build out an additional 5-7 quality internal pages (with a focus on text & text layouts), Asli would shatter 1K in two/three months and moon by the end of Q1 2025.
I have purchased many themes on TF and I can honestly say that Asli’s only real competition are those 750+ page themes out there. The reality is, however, that many of these ($59-89) themes are quite lame despite their packaging – packed with pigeon-holed, janky templates which feel dated…even when they’re fresh to market.
You’ve got hot product here…it just needs a variety of sides & appetizers to round out its place at the table 
Anyways, best of luck to you! Great work here. Cheers.

Thank you for your kind words and support. Nowadays Envato aggressively promotes its Elements subscription taking all traffic from Market via these banners so there are very low page views on the item page and it’s getting only worse over time. I doubt that adding just a few more pages to the theme demo can improve this somehow since there are still not many potential buyers in here.
I will be continuing to maintain the theme with updates and support. However I won’t be adding any new pages since it doesn’t really pay for itself taking in account the huge efforts and time for the development already made with a fairly modest outcome.
Well, from a marketing perspective, I totally disagree! But that’s ok 
Elements has never been worth it compared to other asset memberships and aftermarket GPL stores. I know I’ve only ever subscribed to Elements for a month at a time simply to get a cheaper price on items for which I knew wouldn’t need support and couldn’t reliably find elsewhere.
Based on my experience in marketing, if a person/product/service is being heavily advertised, it’s almost always because goals are far from being met…though it would be interesting to see EE’s membership stats. Aside from visitor counts & purchases, everything else is simply speculation for the two of us.
Anyways, I hope that you’re wrong so you earn what you deserve for creating this lovely theme. All the best!

Is this compatible with WooCommerce?
Yes, the theme supports the WooCommerce plugin. You can check the shop demo preview here: https://artemsemkin.com/asli/wp/shop/
Hi there, it seems that the very last released version is broken. I can upload it, WP says that there is no .css file. Can you check for it ? Meanwhile, Asli Core plugin is updated well. Thank you.
Hello! Are uploading correct zip archive (installable theme file named asli.zip)? https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821510-Theme-is-missing-the-style-css-stylesheet-error
My apologies… i wasn’t enough awake this day.
I would recommend to activate your theme license to benefit from automatic theme updates that will be delivered right into your WP panel: https://docs.artemsemkin.com/asli/wp/theme-updates/automatic-update.html So you don’t have to upload anything manually.
After most recent update, header and footer from the them builder break?
nm
Hello! I don’t see any issues with header or footer in the theme demo which is always using the latest theme version. If you’d like me to check this please open a private ticket with site details here: ArtemSemkin Support Forum
Apologies, it turns out it was a plugin called “Object Cache Pro” which my host decided to install without me knowing, once I removed it, it fixed itself. I appreciate your response.
hello i would like to know , is it compitable with RTL languages
No, the theme does not support RTL languages (no RTL adjustments for the pages layouts in styles).
How can I change the intro / page loader ?
Hello. Here is the instruction on how to customize the site preloader: Loading Screen (Page Preloader)
Thank you, it works now! But I found another issue. In the menu, after clicking in any link the site is “freezing”.. I mean… the url changes, but the menu doesn’t collapse, and the mouse keeps rotating. How can I fix it?
Please open a private ticket in the support forum: http://artemsemkin.ticksy.com/ and provide site address and login/password to WP panel.
Hi there, any help getting the demo content to load? I’ve installed the theme and it’s just white/black pages with text. Only the intro is loading properly. Please assist?
Resolved.
Hello, is there any Gutenberg version please, without necessarily Elementor?
Hello! No, the theme does not support Gutenberg. It is fully based on Elementor and supports only this builder.
Presale question: Is it possible to upload custom fonts? Thanks
Hello! Yes, uploading of custom fonts is supported.
Hi, presale question : if I’m displaying a portfolio gallery does it included all portfolio items by default and I have to remove all one by one the ones I don’t want to display in those galleries ? Is it possible to do not included any and add only the one that I select ?
Hello! Yes, there is possibility to include/exclude certain posts from the loop if you’d like. This is supported in all the theme widgets that are displaying portfolio posts.
Hi, I’ve got the rhye theme and my issue is that all portfolios items are included in all portfolio gallery by default and I have to remove them all one by one on each gallery, I would like to know if on this theme it’s the opposite and none are included and I’ve to include the one that I like myself
In Asli there are more controls to query posts in Elementor widgets. There are both “include” & “exclude” logic for fetching posts. So you can select only the certain posts too. Screenshot of query control
Oh that’s really good thank you
Two last questions before buying : 1- it is a Wordpress theme right ? I don’t need elementor pro ? I can use pro elements plugins and get same features ? 2 – there is a medium performance score on page speed insight : https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-artemsemkin-com-asli-wp-oval-mask/0anl78bhd4?form_factor=mobile Is it because it’s a demo ? Is there a way to make it more efficient ?
1. Yes, you can find more info here: Elementor Pro FAQ
2. It would be hard to achieve better results since the theme relies on animations a lot.
Ok thanks, is there a search feature or it’s like rhye and we need to attach wordpress search plugin ?
There is no search feature built-in.
Hello, Is there a way to add a “Back to top” button ? I tried but it’s kinda buggy. Thank you Artem.
Hello. Yes, here is the guide: Adding “Scroll Up” Link
Hello again, thank you. However, it’s just like a bottom button. Is there any solution to make that button appear when scroll is about to 10% or 15% down ? (and then disappear if it’s at the top).
The theme doesn’t provide any ready elements like this. You can try to create your own one in Elementor using built-in fixed positioning and scrolling animation.
hi prebuy questions.
1. can i use this? https://elementor.com/blog/sticky-scrolling-effect/2. my idea is to have a vertical and then horizontal scroll. can that be used?
Hello!
1. can i use this? https://elementor.com/blog/sticky-scrolling-effect/
If you’re able to replicate this in Elementor’s Hello theme, then it will work in Asli as well.
2. my idea is to have a vertical and then horizontal scroll. can that be used?
In the middle of the demo index page there is a showcase of “Horizontal Scrolling” widget provided by the theme. Followed by vertical scrolling.
hi there and nice job
can we use it for onepage website ? so if i add the menus does it scroll to the section ”#about-us”.
is it compatible with WPML?
thanks in advance
hi there and nice job
Hello! Thank you

Yes, anchors scrolling is fully supported.
is it compatible with WPML?
Yes, the theme is compatible with several popular multilingual plugins including WPML.
Hello, I am interested in the templates and I have two questions:
1. Could I put my own gif instead of the loanding countdown with numbers in this demo?
2. Can we change the presentation image to a moving video?
3. And on this page they can be videos instead of images, right? And when you click, could they open in a lightbox instead of entering the project?
https://artemsemkin.com/asli/wp/vertical-tripple-lanes-webgl/ https://artemsemkin.com/asli/wp/homepage-06-dark/Hello!
1. Could I put my own gif instead of the loanding countdown with numbers in this demo?
1. For now it’s not supported but soon (in the next theme update) this will be implemented as option for the preloader
2. Can we change the presentation image to a moving video?
2. You mean to use featured videos instead of the featured images (e.g. for portfolio projects)? In this case – yes.
3. And on this page they can be videos instead of images, right?
3. Yes.
4. And when you click, could they open in a lightbox instead of entering the project?
4. Lightboxes from the full screen sliders or infinite lists are not supported for now.
Ok, regarding the preloader, what can be customized now for example? Colors, typography and photos that are happening?
If it were completely canceled, would the website load faster? Now I notice that the entire process is very slow.
Finally, when do you plan to launch the update with the possibility of being able to upload my own gif?
And speaking of gif, can a gif be used as a featured image or instead of the header logo?
On the other hand, in some projects where it says play reel, that’s what I mean by the lightbox, can that be implemented on my portfolio page for example? That is, having a list of previews of several videos and clicking on each of them automatically triggers the video instead of going to a page and then doing so. And if not, would it be easy to implement it with some custom code?
And I see that in the case of the videos hosted on the server, the audio is not activated, is that because the example does not have audio? Or can one activate or deactivate it?
Ok, regarding the preloader, what can be customized now for example? Colors, typography and photos that are happening?
Yes, everything you mentioned is customizable. You can check on how the options panel looks like here in docs: Loading Screen (Page Preloader)
If it were completely canceled, would the website load faster? Now I notice that the entire process is very slow.
Yes since there will be no loading animation. You can check Shop Area in the demo which has the preloader turned off.
Finally, when do you plan to launch the update with the possibility of being able to upload my own gif?
Tomorrow.
And speaking of gif, can a gif be used as a featured image
In theory – you can use GIFs as featured images however the better way is to upload web-friendly .mp4 videos for this purpose.
instead of the header logo?
This is not tested but the theme doesn’t limit you to use GIFs for the logo. Anything you’re able to upload to WP media library can be used.
That is, having a list of previews of several videos
It really depends on the widget used for the listing. As I mentioned before, lightbox opening from the widgets that are typically lead to the URLs of portfolio items is not supported and not easy to implement. However Masonry Grid supports lightbox instead of the navigation to pages.
And I see that in the case of the videos hosted on the server, the audio is not activated, is that because the example does not have audio? Or can one activate or deactivate it?
If you’re talking about portfolio items with featured videos, then yes, audio is forcefully disabled since the modern browsers don’t allow to auto play non-muted videos.
“If you’re talking about portfolio items with featured videos, then yes, audio is forcefully disabled since the modern browsers don’t allow to auto play non-muted videos.”
I mean after clicking on Play Reel (it would not be an autoplay because I am clicking on play reel), for example the video of the waterfall in the demo is silent, that should not be like that, after clicking on it the audio should be activated, as normal, that’s what I mean…
Finally, when do you plan to launch the update with the possibility of being able to upload my own gif?
“Tomorrow.”
This means that I can now use my own gif in the preloader?
“However Masonry Grid supports lightbox instead of the navigation to pages.”
I don’t see lightbox in this example that you gave me, everything takes me to other pages as well. And on the other hand, I imagine that the image format can be customized, right?

In the “waterfall” video there is no audio track. You can check the autoplaying video with sound on this page clicking on “Play Reel”: Working Remotely. In this case it’s hosted on Vimeo, but it will work similar with self-hosted or YouTube hosted videos (the sound in lightbox will be there if it exists in the video).
This means that I can now use my own gif in the preloader?
Yes, this option is already there in the preloader settings.
Actually on this portfolio page Cozy House there is a Masonry Grid with lightbox. It’s the same widget used on “Grid” pages with portfolio items but it’s just styled differently.
I imagine that the image format can be customized, right?
By “format” you mean the images aspect ratio? Yes, it’s customizable in the grids.
Thank you very much for the explication. I only have one thing left to confirm. On the Works page, will I be able to create a grid of video projects with the play circle, and when clicking, the video will be triggered in a light box as happens in all the videos in your demo?
On the other hand, could you tell me what font the website uses?
Thank you

Yes, here is the example on how it can look like. There is no permanent “Play Reel” circle can be placed on the items through. You can use this label for cursor hover effect here a shown in the above screecast.
On the other hand, could you tell me what font the website uses?
The demo uses free Butler and Nunito Sans fonts. These can be changed on anything else if you’d like.
Amazing theme! I’m just wondering if you have considered or have in your pipeline some form of video tutorials. I, for one, would think it would be an amazing asset to see how you physically build some of your demo pages. I’m very good at following what I see, but tinkering with a bunch of things I’m not 100% sure of just seems to get me in a pickle! I think, though, it would massively help, not to mention attract more potential buyers and save repeat support questions for this. I’d and im sure others would be contribute to a GoFundMe or Patreon page to get access to additional video tutorials… just a thought. Struggling on, but I’ll get there in the end. I’m a photographer and I’m pretty tech-savvy, but WordPress is just so counterintuitive. I mean, why the hell do they call it a portfolio when in effect it’s just another way of adding something to a page… ahhhh! Posts, portfolio, pages, etc., all so confusing for beginners! lol” Greta work, ive been looking at the perfect theme for years ans this is by far one of the best , i just wish I could get out the design i want easier that fumbling aloing. your support docs are very good , but id love to see a liner progression build out of a page . it would massively help to see the principles in flow
Hello. Thank you for your kind words and idea. Unfortunately, given the current pace of theme sales, I can’t afford it. The number of an item sales is the main factor that is considered in Envato markets in promoting a product on the market. Things like completeness of documentation or availability of video tutorials are not taken into account when ranging.
just a few word that i I have 2 themes from you and they are very precious for me, because they help me to concentrate to content and your themes help me to sell more website and give me a real avantage from my nexts competitors. Sure i made some adjustment but you webgl integration are geniously code. you ‘re amaster ! thanks
Glad to hear that! Thank you.
Hello, I have an issue. If i try to change the heading font for the loading site. It’s not working, there is no change. Where can i change this setting ? Thank you.
Hello! Did you use Loading Screen panel as mentioned in the documentation?
Yes. Every change seems working except the heading font.
Please send your site address and credentials to WP panel to support@artemsemkin.com. I’ll check it on Monday.
If anyone is having issues with adding more breakpoints via Elementor Settings, disable Asli Core, add the breakpoints, and then re-enable. I just spent hours troubleshooting this, so hopefully it helps someone 
For those who are facing similar issue here there is a fix:
It turns out that the problem is in this arrow unicode symbol “→” set in one of the text fields in Site Settings -> Asli / Theme Elements panel. When it’s changed to something else like ”-” it starts to saving settings fine. I guess it happens when backend DB rejects the whole settings request for saving data because of that arrow (may be due to a security policy).
Im hesitating between this theme and Rhye. Can you help me? This one seems to have more features but I prefer the rhye templates..
Hello. It’s true that Asli theme is more advanced and has more customization possibilities comparing to Rhye theme since there is almost 4 years initial release difference between these items.
wow!!!!!
