This theme just continues to blow my mind. Its like the Holy Grail of Wordpress themes because it has solid customizable features and for those of us that like to tinker with the code a little, it provides enough access to do so. I just can’t believe this theme didn’t exist years ago!! I have stopped developing on Drupal and Joomla for the most part and openly embraced Wordpress CMS primarily because of this theme.
The only thing that could make it better and this is stretching to find something is the ability to control the page layout more so outside of the pre-defined layouts provided with the theme.
Thank-you very much for the kind words. We are thrilled to know that!
I’m guessing you’ve seen our different blank page templates?
If there are any suggestions you have related to control of the page templates beyond that, feel free to contact us with your ideas. We’d love to hear them 
Cheers!
I stand correct!!! THEMECO answered my prayers with the “Sky Is The Limit” option for layout. This is my permanent favorite theme and I will recommend it to anyone I work with on their website.
Awesome! We certainly appreciate the repeat business, my friend!
1- Several questions, i don’t find were to uploads the demo customizer, i don’t see customizer > import
2- i need a megamenu on top and a dropdown menu on left, but i don’t see how to do it, as i have to choose if have the nav on top or left or right so i think to have the nav on right, and ubermenu on top, but in this case i need to create a widget area on top, but i don’t know how here …
3- i’m used to write my css by hand, and i’m faster like that (specially for typo, than actionning all the options) so if i take a child theme and write in the style.css, will they overwite the customizer

Hi, i need to put images in the megamenu, is it possible ? i don’t see any options… Or have i to install ubermenu (i suppose in a header widget area with php widget)
Hi Alex,
It is not possible to put images in the megamenu. You can read more about how our megamenus work in this article in our member area. If you haven’t registered for access yet, you may do so here.
Cheers!
ok, but can i integrate ubermenu ?, i absolutely need the images in the megamenu, so i know for ex with genesis i paste the php code in a php widget
Customers are welcome to extend the theme with 3rd party plugins, however we are not able to support this, especially in a case like this where we have our own integrated megamenu functionality built into the theme.
ok, but it will be nice if in future version you integrate the possibility to add images, as it is a common demand in megamenus
That article explains our intended use for the megamenu option built into X, however customers are welcome to customize based on their needs. Cheers!
. Thank you for your support
You’re most welcome
Hello guys I just want to know about licensing, as I’m planning to use your theme on some of my prospect clients it means more than just one website. Just wondering how much am I going to pay or what license am I going to pay? Thanks heaps.
Hi There,
If you are building client sites, you would simply purchase a unique regular license for each unique domain. So if you had 3 clients whose sites you were going to use X on, you would simply purchase 3 regular licenses.
Let us know if you need anything further, my friend!
Hi there!!! I am having issues with the updated 4.3.1. Visual Composer in the theme… Any updates on that?
Hi Olga,
Please see this article about our integration with VC in X. Should you need anything further with our version of VC, one of our developers can assist in the forum.
Cheers!
Always such an efficient tech support! We should have more stars for you guys!
Many thanks, Olga!
I was prompted for update but see no changelog?
Slightly overwhelming. I’ve worked with many themes and have never really had any problems. But this theme is really complex to set up.
Aside from the docs that come with the download, is there any other place to get some information?
Hi There,
We have dozens of video tutorials and knowledge base articles in our member area. In addition, you’ll have access to our demo content, member forum (for all theme support), and even some marketing training videos.
You can register for access here. We’ll look forward to seeing you in the member area!
Great theme! Takes a little getting used to, but excellent members area, forum, tutorials etc. Here’s what I did with it: http://www.savethreetrees.org/
Many thanks for the kind words, my friend! And thanks for sharing
Hi, presales questions, normally i develop my own themes with the genesis framework, and i like to code almost my css by hand, since a year a don’t use themes no more, but this one is very interesting when i want to go fast! i wanted to know if i have to create a child theme, and so write my css (or scss) or it work differently than other themes. Can i really use it as a framework, to do anything i want ? i had a look at the code, is it build on bs3 ?
2° question, i work with a seo, and for exemple is it always possible to add the alt and title attribute in the shortcodes (i was working with visual composer on a site, and on the single widget image, there was no possibility to had the title attribute, but the support told how tweak it) In other words, can it be a good theme for developpers (but not very good at php for the moment:-))
Hi Alex,
X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities. In some ways you can use it as a framework, but you’ll find that most of what you need is readily available via our Stacks. The underlying CSS is heavily modified Bootstrap 2.3. We made changes to make the markup more semantic, and added SEO optimizations. You can add the title or alt text through the short codes when the element supports it. For an example, you can review the image short code reference here.
Let us know if you need anything further, my friend!
Perfect! thank you i’m going to buy it
Looking forward to having you on board
Good day!
I have pre-sale questions.- Is there an option to make a video gallery? (videos are self-hosted)
- Likes button and views counter for every video?
I’m actually looking for theme to share videos. I believe this theme doesn’t specialize for video sharing, but I’m just wondering if that would be possible.
Awesome theme, thanks!
Hi There,
You can have a video in your portfolio as seen here. There is not a like button or counter as that is typically provided by the video host of choice.
You had mentioned self hosted videos, and you can definitely self host videos using our integrated video player as you can see here.
Many thanks for the kind words! Let us know if you need anything further, my friend!
Presales!
I don’t see anything on your site about ongoing upgrades, for instance, when WordPress is upgraded and the X Theme needs to be upgraded in order to stay current.
Thank you! I’ve resisted going with all Wordpress for years, since I truly enjoy keeping my hand in the base HTML and CSS code, but I’m rebranding and need a mobile-friendly site, and the thought of coding it myself was creating severe resistance and procrastination. So, now I’m theme-hunting …
Hi There,
X will always be kept updated with the latest versions of WordPress. This is talked about in our About Video as well.
I think you’ll be very happy with X (however full disclosure: I am a bit biased)
Let us know if you need anything further, my friend!
Hi Pre-Sale Q&A. I’ve read through a good portion of comments but I’d prefer my own clear answers, so I apologize for the repetition.
1. Purchasing X Standard License – 1 time use [self or client] – Once the theme is purchased and used, do you have to download the product again for the next license or do you just purchase another license?
2. I’ve not seen any discussion regarding any other eCommerce than Woo Commerce. Do you have or are you going to have in the future plugin’s for: Photoshelter, SmugMug, Storenvy, Etsy?
Thanks!
2. I’ve found two Photoshelter plugin’s: I know you don’t do third party support but I wanted to know if you were planning on creating your own plugins specifically for the X theme?
Thanks!
Hi There,
1) You would simply purchase another license.
2) We decided to focus exclusively on WooCommerce for our integrated eCommerce solution, however customers are welcome to integrate any other 3rd party solution they may need post purchase.
We do have plugins in the works for X…stay tuned on that front
Let us know if you need anything further, my friend!
HI,
Does X-Theme support the latest version of Visual Composer?
I know it comes with a custom version of 4.1.3 but wanted to know if its compatible with 4.3 prior to making a purchase. (As I do not have access to the KB article)
Hi Richie,
Due to our customized integration of the plugin (to work with our own Shortcodes), we only include updates that pertain to security and our own use of the plugin.
Let us know if you need anything further, my friend!
Hi! X-Theme is wunderful. But i have a problem with it: If i use Integrity in combination with woocommerce…
And if i search for a product. Then i have a very big huge image in one column. I think this doesnt looks good.
Can you integrate a function, where search results can be set to 1,2,3,4,5 columns or something like this?
Hi guys, wondering if anyone can help.
I am an absolute newb at Wordpress and purchased X theme with the hope that I could replicate one of your beautifully designed websites with little technical know how.
I followed the basic set up tutorials and chose a stack and imported the demo content in to the theme. After adding the page templates to classic mode and then changing into Visual Composer to try and edit, I am met with this message “The layout you are trying to use on this page does not conform to Visual Composer’s layout guidelines. For more information on this situation and how to avoid this error going forward, please see our Knowledge Base article in the X Member Area.”
I have read the linked article and it seems that it may not be compatible when added to the classic mode and changing into Visual Composer so I tried adding the templates copy and pasted into ‘Add element’ Text section which seemed really clunky and only half worked.
Are the page templates not available with Visual Composer, as this will be very disappointing as it will mean I am not able to recreate the designed pages which was the selling point for me getting X or am I not entering the .txt file to Visual Composer correctly?
Hi Tom,
There is some confusion on how Visual Composer works as you can use page templates, and we provide VC specific page templates in our member area. If you are having any trouble getting them to work, a member of our development team will be happy to help in the forum. In the meantime, feel free to search the forum as there are several threads related to all aspects of working with VC in X.
Cheers!
Hi
We are looking to buy this theme but the payload of all the files are pretty high (something like 2,7mb) just to load the frontpage for the Woocommerce shopping site (just tested Integrity). Is there a way to compress this so the payload is much less?
Thanks
Hi There,
The theme files themselves are well within the range of standard theme files/resources. Demos frequently include a lot of extra resources to show the full range of options and features, however from an actual resource usage point of view, page loads are handled in the most performant manner possible. For example, certain scripts only get loaded when a shortcode exists on your page. While other themes will load all scripts into the theme, this method keeps things streamlined. Additionally, things like custom Google Fonts are loaded dynamically, meaning that only what you plan on using is loaded into the theme, keeping it free of bloat. These are just a couple examples, however the entire development of the theme was created with this sort of attention to detail (and we’re always on the lookout for ways to improve upon the already strong foundation).
We also provide a tutorial in our member area about some of the many user side configurations people can do to their own sites post purchase (caching plugins, image compression, etc – things not related to the theme but rather individual content on the page).
Let us know if you need anything further, my friend!

Hi There,
One of our developers would be happy to assist in the forum as that is where all theme support is provided. If you haven’t registered for access yet, you can do so here.
Cheers, my friend!
I have posted the question on the forum already.
Great, questions are answered in the order they are received, so one of our developers will be with you just as soon as your thread is up.
I quote “WooCommerce – Easily transform your WordPress website into a full fledged eCommerce storefront with the click of a mouse (and for absolutely no additional cost). The X WordPress theme is fully integrated with the WooCommerce plugin for those who need it; however, if you don’t need an eCommerce feature on your site there will be no additional impact on your site’s performance. X only uses what needs to be used at any given time, keeping load times fast and visitors happy. But that’s not all! Since X was created to support multiple, completely unique designs called Stacks, each Stack has it’s own look and feel when it comes to WooCommerce integration. If you are looking for an eCommerce solution, you now have three completely unique looks to chose from!. Check them out below”
Where do i click to transform into ecommerce??? – do i need to download a plugin??? if so where from – no link provided!
As we have stated before, all of this is explained in our member area with our video tutorials. Once logged in you’ll want to check out this article.
If you have any further questions, please post them in the forum as requested.
i am still having problems registering and logging in since your system will not accept my purchase code.
can you please just answer my questions, i can see folders in the X folder for wooComerce but nothing in the themes settings – help file is no help either – i just want to get the shop thing going
We just received your email and have sent over instructions.
Pre-sale question: I really love the theme after hours of lurking around the demo, you did a very very great job! But does this theme have a review system available? Any kind of reviews, stars, points, percentage etc… Plus rich snippets like Schema?
Thanks.
Hi There,
Thank-you for the kind words!
There is not an integrated rating system, however there are several 3rd party solutions to achieve this sort of functionality.
Rich snippets including different Schema markup is something our team is looking into for a possible future release.
Let us know if you need anything further, my friend!
I truly believe this is the best theme about UX, you guys have a really professional UX team. However I think it’s better if you could look at the website from the “bots” point of view too, like Googlebot and what’s displayed on search engines. I’m so sad this theme doesn’t have a review system or snippets-ready either… It’s a deal breaker… I hope to get this in the near future, for now I’ll have to bookmark this as a wishlist. Thanks for your prompt response.
P/S: By review system I mean some sort of product reviews, criterias etc… Rating system is for Users to kinda vote.
Many thanks! Allow me to briefly share our philosophy on things from the “bots” point of view as well as the future development of X.
Page loads are handled in the most performant manner possible (and we’re always making adjustments to how this can be addressed). For example, certain scripts only get loaded when a shortcode exists on your page. While other themes will load all scripts into the theme, this method keeps things streamlined. Additionally, things like custom Google Fonts are loaded dynamically, meaning that only what you plan on using is loaded into the theme, keeping it free of bloat.
Other technical benefits that we include with the theme are the use of semantic HTML5 markup throughout the theme, industry standard SEO practices such as keeping main content before the sidebar, utilizing WAI-ARIA landmark roles for users with disabilities to easily navigate your site, et cetera.
We’re constantly evaluating how things are done with the theme and improving upon our foundation as seen in our release cycles. Above all else, we listen to our customers and what they have to say. We absolutely want to provide this marketplace with a valuable tool that is unparalleled in all accounts.
A product review functionality would be similar to a rating system in that it would be better served as a 3rd party plugin due to the intended functionality and in order to keep the core theme files free from unnecessary bloat that would not be needed by all.
We look forward to having you on board soon!
