We’ve just released a new Sober update that includes the updated WooCommerce 10.2+ compatible template files you need.

Please update your theme to the latest version by following our documentation here:

Regarding Slider Revolution – it will be included in the update as usual with the latest compatible version bundled with the theme.

Hi,

I’ve updated the theme to version 3.5.12, but Slider Revolution did not update and is still showing the old version. When I go to Plugins, I see this message:

“There is a new version (6.7.39) of Slider Revolution available. To update directly register your license key now or purchase a new license key to access all premium features.”

Could you please let me know If I am doing something wrong?

Hi,

We’ve just uploaded the latest version of Slider Revolution to the theme package.

To get the update, please delete the plugin from your Plugins page, then go to Appearance > Install Plugins and reinstall it. This will give you version 6.7.39.

Thank you

Hello,

You can translate these header texts using the Loco Translate plugin. This is a popular WordPress translation tool that allows you to edit any text in your theme without modifying the code.

Install and activate Loco Translate from the WordPress repository:

For detailed instructions on using Loco Translate with Sober theme, please refer to our documentation:

Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. The Sober theme has never included settings specifically for header padding. This isn’t a feature that was removed in recent updates.

To adjust your header padding, you’ll need to use custom CSS. You can add custom CSS through:

Here’s an example of CSS you might use:

.site-header {
    padding-top: 20px;
    padding-bottom: 20px;
}

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback. You’re right that the Kirki customizer hasn’t been updated for a while, but it’s still functioning properly as a framework for WordPress customizer settings. We’re actively exploring alternatives for better compatibility, but you can safely continue using Kirki Toolkit for now.

For the Instagram feed in the footer, we’re working on implementing a new photo grid solution. We don’t have a specific release date yet, but we’ll announce it in our changelog when available.

Hello,

Thanks for your questions:

1. The portfolio page is a WordPress archive page, so you can’t edit it directly through the normal page editor.

To add custom content above the project grid, you can use Elementor Site Builder to design this archive page.

2. To re-arrange the sequence of projects in the grid, you can manually edit the project’s date. Or you can install a post ordering plugin like “Post Types Order” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-types-order/). This will let you drag and drop to change the display order of your portfolio items.

I am not sure how to do this, it seems I need to upgrade my Elementor?

“To add custom content above the project grid, you can use Elementor Site Builder to design this archive page.”

Yes, you’ll need to upgrade to Elementor Pro to edit the portfolio page. This is because portfolio pages are archive pages in WordPress, and creating custom templates for archive pages requires Elementor Pro’s Theme Builder functionality.

Since Sober is primarily an e-commerce theme focused on WooCommerce, it has limited built-in options for portfolio customization without Elementor Pro.

There have been issues like this since the last two updates. Before that, everything was fine.

Hello,

You can attempt to sync the language file to update any missing texts. With Loco Translate, you can use the “Sync” button as depicted in this screenshot:

If it doesn’t work, please use the contact form on this link to reach out to our developers. They will help you check the issue.

Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. For a permanent solution, we recommend placing your translation files in the “wp-content/languages/” folder instead of directly in the theme. This prevents translations from being overwritten during updates. You can refer to this document for more details:

Then please review your translation file again. Recent updates likely introduced new strings needing translation. You can use the Loco Translate plugin to identify and translate missing texts.

Thank you

Perfect! Thank you very much for your reply!

You’re welcome! Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any question.

Hello,

We’re sorry to hear about the translation issue after the latest update. It sounds like your translation files might have been overwritten. If you have the backup of the theme translation, please move it to the wp-content/languages directory.

You can refer to this document for more details:

Also, please check the Sober Addons plugin for any new strings that need translating.

Thank you

Hello,

To disable all the links, you can use this CSS instead:

.portfolio-items .portfolio a {
    pointer-events: none;
}

To hide the icon on the mobile header, you can try this CSS:

.menu-item-mobile-cart, .menu-item-mobile-wishlist {
    display: none;
}

To change the footer menu on mobile to 1 row, you can try this CSS:

@media (max-width: 767px) {
    .site-footer .footer-menu li {
        display: inline-block;
    }
}

Thank you

Thank you, all works ver well! Last question, I see that when I put the content on the “Footer Right Content”, in mobile view, it is not exactly middle aligned (aligned to the right by a little), How to fix this?

Please try this CSS to fix the problem with “Footer Right Content” on mobile:

@media (max-width: 767px) {
    .footer-info .socials-extra {
        padding-left: 0;
    }
}

Thank you
