Hi! I’m completely stuck: I’ve downloaded all the files (latest version), but I just can’t find the WPBakery Page Builder plugin. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

WPBakery Page Builder 8.7.2 is already bundled with the latest theme version (1.6.0).

To install it please go to Appearance → Install Plugins

Install and activate WPBakery Page Builder (bundled with the theme)

This will ensure the correct version included with the theme is installed.

Feel free to ask for anything you need.
Kind Regards

Hi,

thank you very much for your feedback.

That’s exactly my problem: I just can’t find the plugin. Or do I have to upload the entire ‘proton.zip’ file? I’m completely lost right now, sorry.

Kind Regards

Hi, i’m not a developer or coder, but I found two issues with your theme:

1) CSS margin causing left shift In style.css (MODERN version, line 348-349), the following rule shifts the layout to the left:

<core.n-container > .row > .vc-row-inner > .vc_row,
.n-container > .row > .vc-row-inner > .wpb-content-wrapper > .vc_row {
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
} 

As a workaround, I had to add:

.vc_row {
    margin: auto !important;
}

I also had to manually add media queries to keep the row margins aligned with the footer across breakpoints.

2) WPBakery version mismatch, theme 1.6.0 should include WPBakery 8.7.2, but it still ships with WPBakery 8.5.

Could you please fix these issues?

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to report these issues and for the detailed explanation. We really appreciate it.

1) CSS margin issue.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We’ve forwarded this to our development team and confirmed the behavior you described. The fix will be included in the next theme update so the layout aligns correctly across all breakpoints without the need for custom overrides.

2) WPBakery version

WPBakery Page Builder 8.7.2 is already bundled with the latest theme version (1.6.0).
If you’re still seeing version 8.5, it means the old plugin is still installed.

Please update it using these steps:

Deactivate and delete WPBakery Page Builder

Go to Appearance → Install Plugins

Install and activate WPBakery Page Builder (bundled with the theme)

This will ensure the correct version included with the theme is installed.

Hi, on the portfolio page (masonry layout), am I able to use short videos instead of static images?

Hi,

Thank you for your patience, and I truly apologize for the very late reply. It looks like we missed your comment, and I’m really sorry it went unanswered for so long.

Currently, the portfolio page (masonry layout) doesn’t support using videos as featured images, so you won’t be able to add short videos there.

As an alternative, you could consider using GIFs for animated content—they work well in the layout and can give a similar dynamic effect.

Let us know if you need guidance on adding GIFs, and we’ll be happy to help!

Kind Regards

Hello! A few months ago you said in the comments you would be releasing an update soon. Is this still in the works? I have a client who recently purchased this theme, but it seems the WPBakery plugin is quite outdated, and we’re getting errors about incompatible WooCommerce templates. I appreciate it, thanks!

Hi,

Apologies for the late reply, we were not working over the weekend.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. We’re happy to inform you that we’ve just released an update for the Proton theme (version 4.5.0). This update includes the latest version of the WPBakery Page Builder plugin and ensures full compatibility with the latest versions of WordPress and WooCommerce.

You can update the theme directly from your dashboard using the Envato Market plugin:

Hello,

The “Load More” button for the Gallery is nowhere to be seen/found within the WordPress CPanel. This makes my site load extremely slowly, since the gallery wants to load all images at once. Please remedy this.

Thank you!

Hello, any chance i can get a reply or help? or do i have to buy your support? it’s such a small issue

It is a real problem for my website that I have not been able to update WPBakery for almost two years now as any update since 6.9.0 whrecks the grid of my proton website https://www.bsights.de. Why have you not been able to fix this obvious problem within the theme??

Hi,

if I use any special characters in my tags names then it breaks the filter. I want to use ‘&’ in one of my tags for example, however it leads to the filter displaying incorrect posts and breaking the sorting.

Is there a fix for this?

Hi,

I am very sorry for the late reply, we were not working on the weekend.

You can add special characters to the tag name, but avoid using them in the slug, as they can cause issues with filters. This way, you’ll still be able to use them in the name without breaking functionality.

Hi I’m running into an issue where the portfolio isn’t sorting correctly. Sent an email and message here on your profile that haven’t been responded to. What’s the best way to get in touch if my included support expired? Or is the only way I can get assistance on this issue is to purchase additional support?

I’ve just checked it it says that the email has been sent, but I’ll send it again.

Hi I sent a response a week ago and haven’t heard back. Can you look into this? The changes broke my website and need a little more urgency with the fix.

Hi it’s been nearly a month now since I receive an update and my website remains broken. Can you provide an update?

Hi, is it possible to block Google Maps Javascript?

Hi @boogie_woogie,

With the Proton theme, it is indeed possible to restrict or block certain JavaScript functionalities, including the Google Maps JavaScript. By implementing custom scripts or configurations, we can ensure that the Google Maps JavaScript is disabled on your website. This can be particularly useful if you have privacy concerns or any other specific requirements regarding the use of Google Maps on your platform.

hello,

is it possible to display a video in a project page?

Hi @VirtuHouse,

Absolutely, you can easily enhance your portfolio by embedding videos. Including dynamic visual content like videos can significantly enrich your portfolio and make it more engaging for viewers. To embed videos, you can utilize various platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, or even directly upload video files. Simply grab the embed code from the respective video platform and paste it into your portfolio editor. This will seamlessly integrate the videos into your portfolio, allowing visitors to watch your work in action and gain a deeper understanding of your capabilities. Moreover, by strategically placing these videos alongside your project descriptions, you can effectively showcase your expertise and highlight the value you bring to the table. If you need any assistance with the process or have any other questions, please feel free to reach out.

Kind Regards

Hi there, I am seeing : Google Maps JavaScript API has been loaded directly without a callback. This is not supported and can lead to race conditions and suboptimal performance. For supported loading patterns please see https://goo.gle/js-api-loading in the dev console. How to get rid of it? Thx and best, c—

Installed 6.5.​0 as it is the one that keeps the site intact but I want to be able to update to latest without problems. What should I do? Don’t have support as it expired but I haven’t asked for anything this far so if you can please help…

Hello, I am considering to buy this theme. However, I cannot fully see the Demo – you have two, Modern demo and Dark demo – neither of them is working. At first I could see tha main page, but after clicking on some image, it ended on blank page. Now if I close the tab with the preview and open it again and go to Demo again, I see blank page with menu only or it navigates to 404. I tried Firefox and Chrome, both the same problem.

Hi,

Here are the links to reach our demos, make sure to follow them, as we’ve just checked the demos and everything loads alright.

Has anybody else experience changes to their page layouts, having installed the latest WPBakery update? After updating, I’ve lost the margins either side of my pages (they now stretch to full screen) and I can’t seem to amend them. I’ve even tried to reinstall the theme, hoping it would reset the pages, but that hasn’t worked. I’d appreciate any ideas as to what has changed and how I can change it back. TIA

The issue can occur if the older visual composer (now WPBakery Page Builder) was modified by the theme author by customizing the existing elements and adding the new one’s. Now when you updated it, the customization made by the theme author was lost which causes the issue. You can check it with the theme author if there is any way to preserve the customization done by him with the latest version, so that such an issue can be avoided at your ​end.

My friend, I left this comment 11 days ago, I responded to your email 11 days ago and I paid for another 6 months of support yesterday and sent a support ticket yesterday. The theme needs updating so it corrects the issue with the latest WPBakery update. Please.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, somehow we’ve missed your comment.

I’m seeing that the support agents have already solved the issue you were having.
