I try to upload the theme to Wordpress but I get the installation failed because of missing css. I know that the easy fix is to install the enfold.zip first (https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821510-Theme-is-missing-the-style-css-stylesheet-error).

But I couldn’t find that zip file in both the Wordpress only zip and the All Files and Folder zip. No hidden files either. That required file is simply missing.

Ok, that zip file is slide.zip, and I managed to install that. However, I am still not familiar with how I add all the demo templates, as each is still missing stylesheet.

Hi! You can import the demos from your Dashboard, from Appearance – Install Slide Demos. Let me know if you need more help.

Hello!

I just downloaded this theme. The description said it works with WP Bakery and that this plugin is included. Now, when I install the template, it asks me to install Elementor so I can install the Core plugin. I also don’t understand what I need to install and what I don’t. If this page can’t be built with WP Bakery, I don’t need it, and I want a refund.

Hi! The theme was originally built over WPBakery. Then the same page builder widgets were created for Elementor. We recommend using Elementor, since it is a modern page builder solution, but if you want to use WPBakery, the custom widgets created for WPBakery are still available. Feel free to activate WPBakery and deactivate Elementor, if this is according to your needs. If you need help, feel free to use the dedicated ticketing system: https://smartwpress.ticksy.com/submit/#100012518

Will the demo pages work with WP Bakery when installed?

Yes, the home page based on WPBakery will be imported, but you need to manually set it as static front page from Settings – Reading.

ok so i have hopefully an easy question. With the Music Player, after filling in album info in elementor how do we display that info? there does not seem to be a place to turn on a button or link and anything like that. Am i missing something?

Well on the homepage, the payer right at the top of the page. I have the Album details, and the other ones filled in, Release Date, Artist, Publisher, ect .. but they do not appear anywhere, and there is no link/button to view the info either.

Also, i have the pro plugin version of the music player, it comes with a mini player, is that not available in the themes version?

Hi, the album style of the player can be shown by choosing from the player widget options. I can help you with this, please open a support ticket here: https://smartwpress.ticksy.com/submit/#100012518

Many of us, myself included, have been asking for a better navigation system. Today, most users access websites on mobile devices, and large, top-heavy category lists are not mobile-friendly. They make navigation frustrating rather than intuitive.

A clean, streamlined search and filter system would significantly improve the user experience. I’ve been requesting this for years, and I know many others in the comments have expressed the same need.

Here are some plugin examples that I believe should be incorporated into the theme. These plugins would help resolve the navigation issues the theme currently faces: • https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-search-to-menu/https://wordpress.org/plugins/filter-everything/https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/

Please use the contact form on my profile.

I just emailed you the screenshots

ok, thanks!

The Share to Facebook link doesn’t work. Try it, yourself on your demo… https://slide.smartwpress.com/demo1/discography/woman/ The link opens up Facebook, but freezes up and doesn’t do anything

It did not happen to me, unfortunately I cannot reproduce it. Did you test it on a specific device?

You must be logged in to a Facebook page account in order to experience the issue. If you are logged into a regular Facebook profile account, then you won’t be able to duplicate issue. The Issue only happens when you’re logged into a Facebook page account.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the Facebook sharing issue.

I’ve updated the sharing link in the theme to use a more stable and recommended method: https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=... This version is generally more reliable and improves compatibility, including when users are logged in as a Facebook Page.

To investigate the issue further, I personally tested both the previous sharing method and the new one — while being logged into Facebook both as a user profile and as a page — and in all cases, the share functionality worked correctly on my end.

That said, please note that Facebook’s share behavior can vary depending on how a user is logged in. If someone is logged in only as a Page, Facebook may prevent certain dialogs (like sharing) from functioning properly. Unfortunately, this is a platform-level limitation and can’t be fully addressed from the theme or plugin code.

Since this theme is intended for widespread use, I’ve chosen an approach that doesn’t require a Facebook App ID or extra setup, in order to keep things simple and user-friendly for everyone.

If the problem persists, one workaround is to temporarily switch back to a personal profile before sharing — this generally resolves any issues caused by Facebook’s session handling.

Please test on the original URL you mentioned and let me know if this version works better for you: https://slide.smartwpress.com/demo1/discography/woman/

Let me know if you have any other questions, and thanks again for bringing this to my attention.

Hello, can you tell me in which file the “read more” changes on the main page in the news block?

Hi! The ‘read more’ text on the main page is part of the Blog Elementor widget. You can find the definition on slide-music-core/elementor/widgets/slide-blog-posts.php If you just want to translate the theme/plugin, you don’t need to make changes on the code, just follow this tutorial: https://docs.smartwpress.com/how-to-translate-slide-music-wordpress-theme/ Let me know if something is not clear or you have additional questions!

Thank you!

The update should be available for download! Let me know if everything is ok.

Yeah, I really love this theme. I’m thinking of buying it, but our website receives millions of views per day, so I’m concerned about whether it’s robust enough to handle high traffic.

For example, during testing, I noticed the search feature doesn’t work for individual pictures—it only works for photo albums. Also, we have hundreds of thousands of videos and photos, and I don’t think the current video and photo gallery features can handle that scale. Navigation feels limited.

Instead of placing categories across the top, you should consider implementing a filter system—something similar to what Amazon and many modern websites use. It would make browsing and organizing content much easier.

Design-wise, I really like it. My main concern is functionality and performance under heavy load.

Let me know if you plan to address these issues. If so, I’d be happy to consider purchasing the theme and possibly using it for other large company websites I manage as well.

First of all, thanks for being interested in Slide Music WordPress Theme! Regarding your questions: 1. The search feature is based on standard WordPress search, I can only assume that it is searching through posts (photo albums is a custom post type). Regarding the number of videos that you have, the theme comes with custom post types for videos and photo galleries. This is a standard WordPress functionality, so if WordPress can handle this number, the theme itself should also handle. Regarding the posts filter, this would indeed be useful, thanks for your suggestion. I will add this on my TODO list, but I cannot specify an exact delivery date. Anyway, if you have suggestions on how this filters should work, feel free to share.

The overall user navigation needs significant improvement. As I mentioned earlier, we have hundreds of thousands of videos and photos. From the user’s perspective, it must be easy to navigate and quickly find what they’re looking for—ideally within seconds—without having to click endlessly through the site. We don’t want to lose users due to frustration; we want to keep them engaged and on our website.

That’s why improving navigation is so important. I suggested starting by enhancing the search functionality and adding a filter system on the main content pages—such as the video and photo galleries, blog, etc.

These aren’t new or groundbreaking ideas. I’m not proposing anything that hasn’t already been implemented on major platforms like Amazon, YouTube, and many others. For the search, there are likely existing plugins that can offer comprehensive results, including indexing caption information in photos. For filters, users could sort by category, year, newest to oldest (and vice versa), popularity, and more. This would eliminate the need for the large category list currently displayed at the top of the page.

Also, keep in mind that most users today access websites via mobile devices. Large, top-heavy category lists are not mobile-friendly and make navigation more frustrating. A clean, intuitive search and filter system would make a significant difference in improving user experience.

Thank you!!

Thanks again for such a wonderful theme. I have a question related to multi-language (I’m using polylang). Is there any simple way to show a language switcher widget (or something equivalent) in the upper part of the website (main menu or side menu)? I tried but could not make it. Thank you.

Hi. I’m enjoying a lot this theme. Is it there an (easy) way to add a side menu within gallery (photo albums)? I would like to add the menu to connect to other items in the gallery once you are inside. Thank you.

Hi! Please go to Elementor – Settings and select the “Photo Albums” post type. Then you can edit your gallery posts in Elementor (from the admin bar “Edit with Elementor” link, or from the default WordPress editor, press “Edit with Elementor” button). Let me know how this works for you.

I made it and I an sharing if it helps others. My problem was that Photo Albums were not activated to be edited with Elementor, so the option was not visible to me. After activating it in Elementor’s config, I could handle it. Thank you

No problem, feel free to use the dedicated ticketing system if you need more help: https://smartwpress.ticksy.com/submit/#100012518

Hi, please update Slide theme and Slide Music Core to their latest versions to keep your software compatible with the last Elementor version. Please check our below docs page to see how to update: https://docs.smartwpress.com/how-to-update-slide-wordpress-theme/ Let me know how it works after the update.

Will give it a try.

Hi, did the update fix the error?

this theme keeps breaking my website. Honestly. It’s not a support issue. Once I update a plugin, it breaks my site and shows bunch of errors. I deactivated elementor and my site came back up. Why use elementor if its not compatible with the theme?

Hi, the theme is fully compatible with Elementor, can you please check if you have the last version for Slide theme and Slide Music Core plugin?

Hi, pre-purchase question, My website colors would be red and cyan. Can I change menu options colors and other text colors to cyan?

Hi and thanks for being interested in Slide Music WordPress Theme! Regarding your question: Slide theme offers the following color customisation options: From theme customizer (Appearance – Customize): menu text colors, menu background colors, vibrant color. Also, you can set one of the two color schemes available for the content text colors, depending on your background color (dard/bright) used for your entire website or for a particular page. Please let me know if you have more questions!

Hello, We are using this theme for a while and it is great, we have 2 questions:

1: When we are on this category page: https://slide.smartwpress.com/demo1/album_category/grunge/ (on our site). The albums aren’t linking to the album but to the category page. So we can’t click on the albums to view them. Is there a setting in the theme where i could change that?

2: on the homepage there is a section: Discover our newest albums and singles. Is it possible to fill that automaticly? So that if there is a new album online, an older one will be removed and the newest will be added. Now we have to change it every time when we add a new album?

Thank you Jeroen

Hmm, hope this works better: It is about this section on the homepage of the main demo: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uqv7Wh23ttWJCK3A8

Thanks, I can see this image. This is a creative layout that allows higher flexibility in positioning the items and setting the width for each item. This layout is not automatically generated like the other available albums layouts. That is why, unfortunately, you need to manually change the albums after each release. If you want an automated solution, please use one of the other layouts available for albums, one of them is automatically emphasizing your latest published album (ex: please check the latest releases section on this demo: https://slide.smartwpress.com/demo2/). Let me know if you have more questions!

Thank you for your help. I added the widget ‘slide music albums’ and added some CSS to it. If i am lucky Sunday, the newest album is loaded in the biggest frame and all the others move one field. And the last one drops. https://popopzondag.nl/

Hope it will work and that it looks good on all devices…

Hi. Is it possible to insert videos from other sources, for example vk.com?

If you want to use videos in combination with the video custom post type, you can insert them in the content area of the post, as embedded video. Or you can insert them anywhere on your website as embedded content. Let me know if you have a more specific question, to understand what you want to achieve.

This article says that you can use YouTube or Vimeo URLs.

Videos custom post type comes with a dedicated input field for the video URL. But you can still insert the video in the content area of the post, as long as you use the embedded form.

Hi! How do I change the font color in the portfolio item list? (black is the default).

Hi, the theme comes with a lot of custom widgets created for Elementor. What is the widget that does not work with Elementor? Can you please offer more details?

Sure, it’s “portfolio” widget. I used it here: https://scheller.com.pl/kompozycje/ . Whenever I tried to switch to Elementor it was gone.

Hi, this widget is not part of the theme package, as I see it is provided by a third party plugin. Can you please check that?

Just a quick question—

I really appreciate it. What is the easiest solution to delete the Archives & Categories sections that appear down at the bottom of the pages? It seems to be part of the page / template that cannot be changed in Elementor for example. Is there an option I’m missing? Thanks for the help!

Hi, I’ve been using “Slide – Music WordPress Theme” for a few years. After the latest updates I’m noticing a problem on the home page, where the revolution slider is. Every now and then the home page doesn’t open (it remains blank) and when inspecting the browser console, I read the following error:

Hello :grin: The theme looks great and I’m considering purchasing it. There’s just one detail I’m missing – I was wondering if there is a widget that I can connect to my Instagram page? (Where most recent posts are being presented in the website). Thanks!

Hi and thanks for being interested in Slide Music WordPress Theme! Regarding your question: unfortunately, the theme does not come with Instagram Feed widget, but I assume there are several free solutions available on WordPress.org. Anyway, thanks for your idea, I will put this on my TODO list for one of the next updates.Let me know if you have more questions!

Hi, When will you release the update of WPBakery ? There is an Important Update Available that fixes security issues.

Sure, I will prepare a new theme update with the newest version of WPBakery Page Builder.
