Hello Porto team,
I’m interested in buying the Porto Shopify theme but need to confirm something first.
My store will likely have tens of thousands of products, and I need to ensure that website speed remains fast and stable, even as the product volume grows.
Can you confirm if Porto performs well under high product loads, and whether it has built-in speed optimization features such as lazy load, JS/CSS minification, and scalable product page structure?
Looking forward to your reply

Hello,
Since updating to version 7.5, the Porto Functionality plugin has stopped working. I receive the following error message:
PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10): Invalid archive structure. Plugin not activated. A higher version of Porto Functionality is needed for this theme. Please update the plugin.
This issue persists even if I roll back to an older version or completely delete and reinstall the theme.
Could you please advise on how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Is there a way to hide the Porto Functionality new version notification in the administration (The following plugin needs to be updated to its latest version to ensure maximum compatibility with this theme: Porto Functionality. ) ?
It is really annoying and clicking X isn’t really hiding it. Upon refresh we have it again. I have those on all my Porto websites…
So far I did it with CSS but this solution will only make the screen flicker up and down upon refresh…
Hello @mbagira,
Unfortunately, our theme does not include an option to disable this feature, as it is part of WordPress’s default functionality for notifying users about theme and plugin updates. If you’d like to remove these notifications entirely, you can do so using custom code or a third-party plugin that best fits your needs.

Well, this worked out for me:
add_action(‘admin_init’, function() { remove_action(‘admin_notices’, array($GLOBALS[‘tgmpa’], ‘notices’)); });
Hello @mbagira,
Great to hear that worked for you! That snippet effectively removes the TGMPA admin notices by unhooking their notices method from the admin_notices action. It’s a neat solution if you’re looking to suppress those messages in the admin area. Just be cautious when doing this globally, as it might hide important plugin installation prompts.

Hello, I looked at their website in the comments of some other users, and I found a problem, that is, the template they installed is different from the template displayed on your official website. For example, I saw the Featured Products of shop1. The official website displays 3 columns, while the user website I saw has 4 columns. Is this official website different from the one actually purchased?

Hello I like https://www.portotheme.com/wordpress/porto/elementor/shop36/ demo and I do have a question can I change there footer on different demo footer?
Hello, @Elena2020A,
Yes, you can replace your current footer with any other demo footer on your site. To do this, go to Porto > Template Builder > Footer and create a new footer. Then, use the Porto Studio feature to import a pre-built footer. After saving your changes, navigate to Porto > Page Layouts to assign the new footer and set the appropriate display conditions. Please refer to the screenshots below for guidance.

I want to buy this theme now. Before buying, I want to confirm whether these theme templates will be updated in the future. I particularly like the shop7/shop1/shop2 themes, especially the shop7 theme. After purchasing, will the installed version be exactly the same as the demo? Will it be updated continuously in the future? How often will it be updated?
Hello, @ifxt,
Thank you for your interest in Porto WordPress!
Once you import the demo to your site, it will look exactly like the one on our demo site. We also regularly update our demos with new styles and features, and will continue to do so in the future.

Hi, I updated the Porto functionality plugin yesterday and my website broke, the images are being displayed very large for my woo-commerce products, specially when being seen on desktop, but mobile is also affected. I tried reverting to a two days ago backup and it solved the issue but when I got back this morning, seems like things got broken again. Site is https://tienda.camping.cr Can you please provide some guidance on what to look for?
I have reverted to a back up again, and that solves the problem. I assume the problem happens when the new update theme gets installed it breaks items.

I bought ‘Porto’ 2 months ago and I have it installed on one site, I would like to install on my other site. The question is do I have to buy again paying like the first time for the whole theme or can I buy an additional license to install on the other site (if so, what price for extending the license to the other site)
Hello, @jerronimo,
One single license is for the one single live URL only, this is Envato policy and with all the themes on the ThemeForest, you may wish to confirm this with Envato as well, so if you wish to use the same theme on 5 different sites, you have to purchase 5 different licenses of the theme, there is no extending license policy.
