Hello (Google translate), Usually I take a lot of time before deciding to make a purchase, whether for a plugin or a template. There, I don’t know what made me buy your template, and I can say it (being an Envato customer since 2011 I think), it’s the best template, but really the best that I could buy. I don’t even understand how I hadn’t spotted it yet. I rarely give congratulations, but here BRAVO, FORMIDABLE TEMPLATE, the BEST of all Envato. What a pleasure to work with this template. If I had a single comment or request, it would be the improvement of the presentation of widget titles or more presentation mode of articles in Widget mode. In any case, you really made me want to design websites again. THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES for this beautiful work. Best regards, a very happy customer.
Hello Kader26,
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this great review and for your feedback! We really appreciate it and glad that you like Essentials theme 
Have a great day!
Best regards,
Hello,
First of all, congratulations: Essentials is, in my opinion, the best theme on ThemeForest. It delivers outstanding visual quality, a strong design identity, and a very modern user experience. It clearly stands out from most premium themes.
After using it extensively in an editorial project, I would like to share a few improvement suggestions that could make your theme even more exceptional:
1. Portfolio presentation The article layouts are stunning, but the portfolio layouts feel less polished. Having portfolio templates as rich and visually refined as the article layouts would be a major enhancement.
2. Single post layouts At the moment, there is only one single‑post template. Offering multiple article layouts (magazine, minimalist, immersive, full‑width image, etc.) would be extremely valuable for editorial websites.
3. Blog widgets The current blog widgets are quite limited:
only one style
few variations
limited display control
no styling options for widget titles
More widget variations (popular posts, featured posts, alternative layouts…) would be very welcome.
4. Social buttons and widgets It would be fantastic to have:
more customization options for social buttons,
the ability to display them full‑width, as standalone sections, or in sidebars via widgets,
and especially social buttons connected to real follower counts (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc.).
This is a highly requested feature and would add great value to modern homepages.
Thank you again for your outstanding work. Essentials is already a remarkable theme; with these improvements, it could easily become unbeatable.
Best regards, Kader

Final Message in English (Envato‑ready) Subject: Need assistance – Pagination issue inside tabs (Essential Theme)
Hello,
I hope you are doing well. I’m contacting you because I’m facing a persistent issue with the pagination in the Essential theme when it is used inside a tab system. I want to say first that my project is progressing very well and I truly appreciate the quality and elegance of the Essential theme. This is exactly why I’m reaching out for your help.
Initial context At first, I was using a third‑party plugin (Elegant Tabs) to display several categories of posts inside tabs on the same page. Each tab contains an Essential cards layout with the theme’s native pagination.
The issue: When I click on a pagination number inside a tab, the page reloads but always returns to the first tab.
What I have already tried With the help of a technical assistant, we tried many approaches:
creating a custom JS file to automatically append the correct anchor for the active tab
creating a small PHP snippet to load this script properly
using MutationObserver to reapply the anchor after the DOM is rewritten
trying to disable AJAX via JavaScript (stopImmediatePropagation, etc.)
adding PHP filters (pix_ajax_pagination, pix_ajax_enabled, etc.) to disable AJAX
checking all theme options (no visible setting to enable/disable AJAX pagination)
Unfortunately, none of these attempts solved the issue.
Advanced testing To isolate the problem completely, I then:
disabled Elegant Tabs
removed all custom scripts
used only the native Essential tabs
used only the Essential cards layout
tested on a fresh page
cleared all caches
And I discovered something very important:
Pagination works perfectly when it is placed outside of any tabs.
But as soon as the pagination is inside a tab (even a native Essential tab), the issue appears.In this situation:
clicking a pagination number scrolls the page automatically to the bottom (footer)
or resets the active tab
or prevents normal navigation
or loads the wrong content
This happens even with no third‑party plugins, no custom code, and a 100% Essential setup.
Conclusion It seems that the Essential theme’s AJAX pagination:
intercepts the click
reloads the posts via AJAX
triggers an automatic scroll
but since the container is hidden inside a tab, the scroll lands on the footer
and the active tab is reset
This suggests that AJAX pagination is not compatible with content placed inside tabs (even native ones).
My request I would be extremely grateful if you could let me know:
how to properly disable AJAX pagination in the Essential theme, or
how to use a non‑AJAX pagination that works inside tabs, or
how to prevent the automatic scroll triggered by the theme.
And if possible, I kindly request your direct intervention on my website to help me resolve this issue, as I have already spent a lot of time trying to fix it and I would love to move forward smoothly.
Thank you very much for your help and for your work on the Essential theme.
Kind regards, Kader

Hello Essentials Team,
I wanted to reach out personally. I’ve been on Envato since 2011, and over the years I’ve purchased dozens of themes. I can say without hesitation that yours is the best template on the entire platform. Essentials is a true reference: elegant, modern, stable, brilliantly designed — and above all, it continues to give WPBakery its full power, flexibility, and creative potential. Thanks to you, WPBakery remains a real gem for building professional pages.
I value your theme so much that I just purchased a second license — something I had never done since joining Envato. Version 4 is beautiful, and the level of quality you deliver is remarkable.
After more than three months of real‑world use, I’ve had time to identify a few improvements that would make Essentials absolutely perfect. I share them with great respect.
1) Improve the Blog section – Article layouts (editorial / magazine style) This concerns article layouts only, not widgets.
The Blog section would be even more powerful with true magazine‑style layouts, such as:
– a full‑width image banner at the top, like modern online magazines, – “featured” models with a large image and overlaid title, – editorial hero sections (one large card on top, followed by a grid), – premium magazine‑inspired layouts with large image, structured title, subtitle, and intro text.
These additions would allow the creation of professional, modern editorial pages.
2) Improve the Blog Widgets – Presentation, customization, variety Independently from article layouts, the Blog Widgets could be enriched with:
– left/right thumbnail + excerpt layouts, – full‑width or compact editorial cards, – more customizable excerpts (length, style, typography), – multiple image ratios (16:9, 4:3, square, vertical), – a more advanced Tabs mode (Featured / Popular / Commented), – a “Featured article” widget with a large image + secondary thumbnails, – different widget title styles, – more customization options (colors, fonts, alignments).
This would bring real editorial richness to sidebars and widget areas.
3) Improve the Portfolio section – Add the same card models as the Blog The current Blog cards are truly beautiful. It would be fantastic to have the same card models available for the Portfolio, including:
– same visual styles, – same layout options, – same presentation variations, – same image ratios.
This would allow full visual consistency between Blog and Portfolio.
4) Equal‑height cards – Blog + Portfolio An automatic equal‑height option for cards would be extremely useful for both Blog and Portfolio, to achieve perfectly aligned and harmonious grids.
Your theme is extraordinary, and I sincerely thank you for your work. If these improvements are added, I would gladly purchase additional licenses — Essentials is a true reference, and you are doing an exceptional job.
Warmest regards, Kader

Hello, the box texts under the advanced menu options do not accept Turkish characters. I see that menu-item-pix_menu_opts is stored in the wp_options table in the database. The character issue only occurs here. How can we resolve this?

I’m loving this theme, its speed and overall functionality, but in order to make it more personalized I suggest you give users an option to customize the order of the social icons. I had to edit the file: wp-content/plugins/pixfort-core/includes/header/header-functions.php in order to have the icons in the order I wanted, which is not ideal and I can’t find a way to override that function.

I’m interested in this theme but many of the “Elements” pages on the live demos are outdated or bugged, with the elements not being visible at all, so it really doesn’t speak well of the quality of your product.
Is there any change you can check that out, so I can make an informed decision and purchase?
For instance: https://core.pixfort.com/pixfort-elements/call-to-action/
https://core.pixfort.com/pixfort-elements/button/As you can see, those pages are mostly blank and I can’t check out either the call to action or the button options.
EDIT: The elements show up if I use a VPN…
Hello jacf182,

Hello,
I’m interested in purchasing the theme, but I have a few questions before I proceed:
Multilanguage Support: Is the theme fully compatible with multilingual plugins like WPML or Polylang? I want to create a website in both Arabic (RTL) and German (LTR) languages. Also, do I need to purchase these plugins separately to enable multilingual support?
Header Menu Icons: Can I add custom icons (e.g., Font Awesome or image icons) next to the menu items in the header?
Thank you for your time. I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Hello fouadhason,
Thank you for your interest in Essentials theme
The theme is compatible with WPML and Polylang plugins (WPML is a paid plugin, Polylang available in free and paid versions).
Please note that currently RTL is not available. Regarding the menu, the theme has a large collection of icons to choose from, however, the option to add custom icons or images is not available.
Have a nice day!
Kind regards,
Presale question: Can I use a regular footer in the minimal demo? Thanks
Hello davidriveraz,
Thank you for your interest in Essentials theme
You can import and use any of the demos’ premade footers into your website, and you can change the content using the page builder depending on your needs.

Do we also need to buy Elementor or WP Bakery along with this theme? Plase let me know.
