Hello,

I would like to ask why this theme has not received any meaningful updates for almost a year now.

WordPress, Elementor and WooCommerce are constantly evolving, and using a theme that is not regularly maintained exposes websites to serious compatibility issues, performance problems and potential security risks over time.

Many users are still actively using this theme in production environments, and the lack of updates or official communication from the developers is becoming increasingly concerning.

Could you please clarify:

Whether the theme is still actively maintained?

If future updates are planned?

Or if this product has effectively been abandoned?

An official statement would be greatly appreciated by the entire user community relying on this theme for live business websites.

Thank you.

Hello there!

Thank you for reaching out and for your honest feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns, and we completely understand why the lack of updates is worrying, especially for live business sites.

Unfortunately, due to limited resources at the moment, we don’t have plans to add major new features or redesigns to the theme in the near future. That said, the theme is not abandoned, we continue to monitor compatibility closely, and from our side we haven’t observed any critical issues with the latest versions of WordPress, Elementor, or WooCommerce. Most users are running smoothly on current core/plugin versions without problems.

If you’re experiencing any specific compatibility, performance, or security-related issues with these plugins on your site, please describe them in detail (and screenshots would be super helpful), we’ll check everything on our end and help resolve it as quickly as possible.

We’re truly grateful for the community still using and trusting the theme, and we’ll keep providing support for existing setups. If anything changes regarding future plans, we’ll communicate it openly.

Feel free to reply with more details whenever you’re ready — we’re here to help.

Best regards,

So i have been using the theme for a while, it works great. but now it’s just confusing. if i upgrade my Elementor everything gonna crash and not works. so i can’t upgrade anything. is there a way to ask for help for this ?

I would like to clarify that we are not currently observing any compatibility issues with the latest versions of Elementor. The reason version 3.26 is specifically mentioned in the changelog is that the Elementor team introduced significant changes in that particular release which affected the integration, so we had to address those specific changes at that time. However, to avoid any potential issues, we always recommend creating backups and testing updates on a staging site first, as your specific website environment can sometimes influence how themes and plugins interact after an update.

Best regards,

Ah okay, but because the Header and Footer Plugin, now it just crash my whole website if i update that Plugin, and i can’t even update my Elementor since it just crashed. I already tried to turn off all plugins and when i tried to turn on the header and footer, it just crashed

It appears to be an individual case specific to your website environment that requires a direct investigation of your settings. To resolve this, please reach out to our support team via the contact form on our profile page at https://themeforest.net/user/stylemixthemes . In your message, it is essential that you provide a detailed description of the problem, any relevant screenshots, and your WP-Admin access credentials so our agents can log in, inspect the conflict, and find a solution for you.

Hello, I am having a problem with woocommerce notifying me that many files are outdated. How should I handle this?

Hello there!

Thank you for reaching us out!

Those are simple warnings of the WooCommerce plugin and they don’t affect the proper work of your website. Whenever the WooCommerce authors release the new version, the plugin templates become outdated in the theme even the new version of the theme was released a day before. We can’t control the releases of the plugin, as WooCommerce can be updated twice a week.

The new version of the theme will contain the updated templates of WooCommerce.

Best regards,

Hello,

Im using your theme. A few days ago, I noticed a warning for child theme as “there must be a index.php” and etc. By mistakely, instead of creating an empty index.php file, I have copied default manufacturer index.php file into child theme folder. In themes section, an “update” button appeared on child theme and I have updated. Since that, even if I remove child theme folder over ftp and re-upload the original one, it breads down my website view.

There was some custome codes that I was using in style and function files. Such as the codes, you provided, for the menus to make them open to right instead of left.

I have activated main manufacturer theme and added the custome css codes from editor, but they do not work.

- The menu codes you provided -

@media(min-width: 1025px){

body .sm_nav_menu>li ul ul { left: 250px !important; }

body .sm_nav_menu>li ul ul:before { left: -6px !important; right: auto !important; transform: rotate(270deg) !important; }

}

How I can use the child theme in a proper way again ? Thanks

Hello there!

Thank you for reaching us out!

Please ensure you’re using the latest Manufacturer theme and its plugins versions, and try disabling all third-party plugins to check for conflicts.

Let me know if this fixes it.

Best regards,

Hello,

I have updated the main and child theme files. At debug log file, I recieve this warning => “_load_textdomain_just_in_time function was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the manufacturer domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later.”

I think this incorrect / too early call creates a rapid increase on cpu useage and creates 503 error. What you think ? Also how can I solve this ?

Hello there!

Thank you for reaching us out!

These are simple notices that don’t affect the site’s functionality. To hide them, disable debug mode in the wp-config.php file. If the 503 error and high CPU usage persist, check server resources, optimize the site (e.g., with caching), or contact your hosting provider.

If you need help, let me know!

Best regards,

Your theme (Manufacturer) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. These files may need updating to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. Suggestions to fix this:

Update your theme to the latest version. If no update is available contact your theme author asking about compatibility with the current WooCommerce version. If you copied over a template file to change something, then you will need to copy the new version of the template and apply your changes again.

Hi author, this is a very urgent matter. I am using your theme and then installed the SEO plugin Seopress. however, it is not working, I have edited the TDK of the page in the plugin, however, it does not have any effect and does not call any TDK data. For example the shop page, I changed it to Products, as well as edited the description, but it shows nothing in Google. This is a serious issue, please get back to me. 我的邮箱是stelvga@gmail.com Please contact me as soon as possible.

Hello there!

Thank you so much for reaching out. We truly appreciate your patience.

Since we haven’t tested our themes with the SEOPress plugin, we can’t fully guarantee their compatibility. I kindly suggest reaching out to the plugin’s author to check the settings. Alternatively, you might consider trying other SEO plugins, such as Yoast SEO, to see if that resolves the issue.

If you need further assistance, feel free to let me know!

Best regards,

Because my last upgrade caused the theme to malfunction, if downloading Yoast requires downloading a higher version of WordPress, please confirm whether I can upgrade.

We haven’t observed any issues on our side related to the latest upgrade, but since we don’t have full visibility into your specific site environment, we recommend testing the update on a staging or development site first. That way, you can make sure everything works smoothly before applying any changes to your live site.

Let us know how it goes or if you need help setting it up!

Ehm, so i have a problem suddenly with all the stuff happening. header and footer gone while i trying to update my plugins and themes. is there a way to discuss about this ? since my support already expired 6 months ago. Also all my pages becoming bugged and weird. headers becoming weird. which i think there is a conflict between Ultimate Addons for Elementor Lite that is Formerly known as “Elementor Header & Footer Builder” and the website it self.

Hello there!

Sorry to hear about the sudden issues.

On a clean, fresh theme installation, we haven’t encountered these problems. However we found that you have some customizations and extra plugins on the site. Please try switching from the child theme to the parent theme and disable third-party plugins one by one, including Ultimate Addons for Elementor and Elementor Pro, to check for conflicts.

Let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance!

Best regards,

Hi, I’m interested in this theme. Does it require Elementor Pro?

Hello there!

Thank you for your interest in our theme!

The theme package includes the free version of Elementor, which should cover most needs. However, if you require additional features, you can separately purchase Elementor Pro to enhance your customization options. It all depends on your specific requirements!

Hi, Pre-purchase question: is it possible to use a video (YouTube embed or self hosted) as a main homepage slider (header)? Thank you, and good job ;) Best regards

Hello there!

Thank you for your pre-purchase question and kind words—we appreciate it!

Yes, it’s possible to use a video as the main homepage slider, as shown here: https://prnt.sc/hfB4OMTYsNYM. However, please ensure your server meets the system requirements outlined in our documentation: https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/manufacturer-theme-documentation/getting-started/system-recommendations. This will help ensure smooth performance.

Best regards,

i want the color swatch option to be show colors not just words, I can’t seem to figure that out and also to show just above enquiry button..where do I edit the structure of the product page….please also reply to my ticket

Hi there!

Regarding the color swatch option, the default WooCommerce solution is to use variable products. While this displays the color names in a dropdown list rather than visual swatches, you can set a unique image for each variation. You can see an example of how this looks here: https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/40283935?key=196222ae01573c89386d48c83872e039

You can find detailed instructions on how to set up variable products on the official WooCommerce documentation site: https://woocommerce.com/document/variable-product/

If the default dropdown isn’t suitable and you specifically want visual color swatches like in this example (https://prnt.sc/BZLOWWVzP5mt), you could explore third-party plugins such as “WooCommerce Variation Swatches and Photos” or similar ones available in the WordPress repository. However, please be aware that we haven’t specifically tested our theme with these third-party swatch plugins, so we cannot guarantee their compatibility or flawless performance.

Concerning the structure of the product page and placing elements above the enquiry button, unfortunately, this level of layout customization isn’t possible through the theme’s default settings. If you require specific structural changes, this would involve custom development. As an option, you could reach out to our Stylemix Digital Agency team via this link: https://stylemix.net/?utm_source=themeforest&utm_medium=08_07_2022&utm_campaign=hire_us. They specialize in customizations and can provide you with a proposal tailored to your needs.

Regarding your support ticket, our agents have already responded to your inquiries. Could you please check their replies?

I hope this information helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,

Hi, how do you change the home page image? Also, how can I please remove the cart from the menu area? Thank you.

Hello there!

Thank you for your questions!

To change the homepage image in the MasterStudy LMS theme, you can use Elementor to edit the page. Some images are added via styles, such as in this example: https://prnt.sc/Uh1Je7aUQefQ— you can update those directly in Elementor’s settings.

To remove the cart from the menu area, you can edit the site’s header using the Ultimate Addons for Elementor Lite plugin (UAE – Header & Footer Builder – Header). Here’s a screenshot with the widget location: https://prnt.sc/8nPIgYs31heJ.

Let me know if you need further assistance—I’m here to help!

Best regards,

Hi, thank you for your reply. We are using the manufacturer theme with the leather layout. I can’t find the home page image in the instructions you gave above. I also can’t find how to remove the cart from the menu with those instructions either. Could you please help me with this?

I also want to add some new pages using some of the layouts you have designed, but I can’t seem to find where to change the actual page name so the page extension reflects the page name. Could you please also help with this?

Thank you.

Hi there!

Thank you for getting back to me. I’m happy to assist with your queries.

To replace the home page image, you can do so in the section style settings. Here’s a screenshot for reference: https://prnt.sc/A-zUZp6CczyJ.

To remove the cart from the menu, you can use the UAE plugin by following this guide: https://scribehow.com/shared/Editing_WooCommerce_Basket_in_Header_Using_Elementor__ii93Zb5dQI-4MkOS2R2yHA.

Regarding adding new pages with our designed layouts and changing the page name to reflect in the page extension, could you please provide more details about your request? This will help me guide you more accurately.

Hello!

We are using your theme version 1.3.13 on adanirus.ru. When we updated Elementor 3.28.4 we got a conflict with SM Widgets 1.3.8. Then according to the recommendations here we downgraded Elementor version to 3.25.11 and 3.6. Now Elementor version 3.6 is active, we also managed to update SM Widgets 1.3.10, but SM Widgets could not be activated from admin panel, because it caused a fatal error.

We disabled the following four plugins: Essential Addons for Elementor v. 6.1.1.11 + Manufacturer Tables Shortcode Version v.1.2 + ShopLentor – WooCommerce Builder for Elementor & Gutenberg v.3.1.4 + Ultimate Addons for Elementor Lite v.2.3.0 This allowed us to activate SM Widgets 1.3.10, but resulted in the opposite situation – trying to activate any of the four mentioned plugins became impossible due to a fatal error.

What should we do in this situation and what versions of the mentioned plugins should be for the theme to work without errors, because you seem to have indicated that SM Widgets 1.3.10 and Elementor v3.26.0 are enough to solve the problem.

Thank you!

Hello there, Will there be a permanent fix to the SM Widgets conflict with the Elementor? The problems are as described in several posts in this comment list. At the moment we need to use old version of Elementor to be able to run our site. Br. jh

Hi there. Thanks for your answer. As we don’t have a valid licence at the moment, is it best to renew our support licence to to get the updated SM Widgets -plugin? We do not use the entire Manufacturer-theme anymore, but SM Widgets is still needed. Br. jh

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out!

I completely understand your situation, and I’m happy to help. To receive the updated version of the SM Widgets plugin, the Manufacturer theme needs to be installed and activated using your purchase token.

You can access the theme files by going to your Stylemixthemes account > Purchased Items and downloading the Manufacturer theme archive. Once downloaded, simply unzip the archive, you’ll find the SM Widgets plugin, which you can then install manually on your site.

i have imported a textile demo its working well but i would love to import some pages and copy some sections in the Factory demo without implementing everything on my site..how can i achieve that?

You can import the factory on a subdomain and then manually export specific parts of the demo by saving them as templates. This will allow you to transfer the necessary sections efficiently.

i want to buy this theme because it suits what I need according to the live demos…but I’m seeing so many complaints about its compatibility with new versions of Elementor…was this issue resolved? and also do I need elementor pro to access all the theme features? Please reply thank you

Hello!

Thank you for your interest in our theme! We’re happy to hear that it suits your needs.

Regarding Elementor compatibility, any past issues have already been resolved. To ensure everything runs smoothly, please make sure to update the theme and all bundled plugins to the latest versions.

Also, you don’t need Elementor Pro to access all the theme features—everything works perfectly with the free version!

Best regards

Thank you i will ake the purchase then

You are always welcome!

Is the issue with SM Widget with the Elementor update will be fixed soon?

This is the website with the plugin turned on: https://prnt.sc/2P7OvCQYiNqi

And with it off – there is no header in the theme, but at least it runs.

Hello there,

Thank you for reaching out!

It looks like the screenshot didn’t come through. I am sorry, but I cannot provide an exact timeline. Please ensure that your theme and plugins are fully updated, and try rolling back Elementor to a previous version to see if that resolves the issue.

If the problem persists, kindly submit a support request through your StylemixThemes account by filling out the form here: https://themeforest.net/user/stylemixthemes

Our team will be happy to troubleshoot the issue directly on your site.

Kind regards,

I am about to buy the theme, but I see problems with WooCommerce Product Tabs plugin. Is this plugin mandatory to be able to import demo content? Is your product dependent on the plugin? If it is discontinued, why do you suggest to download an earlier release? The plugin will be outdated soon. Will you be offering any replacement for the plugin to cover the same functionalities?

Good afternoon,

Thank you for reaching out with your questions!

The WooCommerce Product Tabs plugin is not mandatory to import demo content for the Manufacture theme. The demo content can be imported without relying on this plugin. However, if you’re using the plugin for additional functionality with product tabs, it may be required for certain features related to product display.

Regarding the plugin’s discontinuation, if the plugin is no longer actively maintained, we understand your concern about using an outdated version. We recommend downloading an earlier release if needed, but please be aware that it is not essential for the theme’s core functionality. As for replacement or updates, we are continuously working on improving the theme and may offer alternative solutions or features in the future to cover similar functionality.

If you have any other questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask. We’re here to help!

Best regards,

OK, I bought it and have the following woocommerce problem. The files seems to be very very old. What is the fix for this?

Your theme contains a woocommerce.php file, you cannot modify the woocommerce/archive-product.php template because woocommerce.php has a higher priority than archive-product.php. This is intended to prevent display issues. Overriding manufacturer/woocommerce/archive-product.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/content-product-cat.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/content-product.php version 3.6.0 is outdated. The base version is 9.4.0, manufacturer/woocommerce/content-single-product.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/content-widget-price-filter.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/content-widget-product.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/loop/add-to-cart.php version 9.0.0 is outdated. The base version is 9.2.0, manufacturer/woocommerce/loop/loop-end.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/loop/loop-start.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/loop/orderby.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/loop/pagination.php version 3.3.1 is outdated. The base version is 9.3.0, manufacturer/product-searchform.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/single-product/meta.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/single-product/price.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/single-product/product-image.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/single-product/related.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/single-product/short-description.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/single-product/tabs/description.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/single-product/title.php, manufacturer/woocommerce/single-product-reviews.php

Hello,

Thank you for your purchase and for reaching out!

The issue you’re encountering with the files is related to simple warnings from the WooCommerce plugin, and I want to reassure you that they do not impact the proper functioning of your website. These warnings occur because whenever WooCommerce releases a new version, the plugin templates in the theme may become outdated—even if the theme itself was updated just a day prior.

Unfortunately, we don’t have control over the frequency of WooCommerce updates, as they can release new versions up to twice a week. However, the good news is that the next version of the theme will include updated WooCommerce templates, and this will be reflected in the theme’s changelog.

Thank you for your understanding, and please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions!

Best regards

SIgue sin funcionar Elementor con la plantilla. Reinstalé a la versión que sugieren y no es la solución, con la última versión de Elementor da error crítico. Ya van casi dos semanas sin poder dejar activa la página. Lamentable.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out, and I’m truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve been experiencing with Elementor—it must be so frustrating, and I completely understand how important this is for you.

In the version released on December 28, we added compatibility with Elementor v3.26.0. Could you please ensure that your theme and plugins are fully up to date?

If the issue persists, I recommend deactivating any third-party plugins, especially caching plugins, as they can sometimes cause conflicts.

You can also check out the changelog for more details: https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/manufacturer-theme-documentation/extra-materials/changelog

If you still face challenges, don’t hesitate to let me know—I’m here to help you every step of the way. Your patience is truly appreciated, and we’ll work together to get this resolved!

Warm regards,

Hey,

There is an issue with the theme, the function.php is calling a function too early.

Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the iksm domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out, and I’m so sorry for the inconvenience you’re facing.

We are aware of this issue, and our team is working on a fix that will be rolled out as soon as possible. In the meantime, to prevent the notice from appearing, you can disable the debug mode.

Thank you for your understanding, and if you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
