Hello, I have to say it’s nice theme in demos. Is this theme compatibility with some of “accessibility” plugins too? Text decrease, increase, colors etc to disabled people.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback and for your interest in Essentials theme :)
Currently we have not tested it for that, however, we will try to check it in future updates.

Let us know if you have any other questions!
Kind regards,

Hello, first I want to thank PixFort for this amazing template ! And also for their quick support. I have a question about Gravity Forms. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to make my forms from Gravity Forms to look like the exemple of Contact form 7 in demo ? Or at least to match more the theme ? Thank’s :)

Hello,

Thank you very much for your feedback :)
Currently Gravity Forms plugin doesn’t allow adding custom classes directly to the form fields to style them (like Contact form 7 plugin) and the plugin requires custom styling to change fields stylings, however, we will try to add custom styling for Gravity Forms in future updates.

Let us know if you have any other questions,

OK, thank you for the reply !

You’re welcome :)

Currently we’re not working on RTL, however, we may try to add RTL in the future.

Hi, I was wondering if there was any way to make the topbar sticky

Hello,

Currently you can only make the main header area sticky, however, we may try to add the option of sticky topbar in the future updates.

Kind regards,

Hi, with the header builder we are needing to have a different header, footer, and menu links on different pages of a client site. So basically mini sites within one website (domain name). Is it possible with the header builder to apply different menu’s to different headers and footers and apply those in the page options? Amazing theme BTW, great job! Hoping this can accomplish this and I’ll purchase.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your feedback :)
Yes, that’s possible, you can create as many headers & footers as you want with different menus for different pages in your website.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hello! I am amazed of this theme and I really want to buy it, but I’ve tried take full screenshot of demos, and every gradient background gone. It is possible to fix that? It is important for me because whenever I will buy license and make site I want put it in my portfolio. P.S I know It can be stupid problem, but important for me:)

Best regards.

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Essentials theme :)
This issue is not related to the theme, it may be related to the tool you are using to take the screenshots (we have tried multiple screenshots tools and they’re working fine with gradients).

For further assistance you can send us more details via the contact form in our themeforest profile.

Kind regards,

Hi there,

This looks like an awesome theme! Have a presale question: is it possible to have a vertical menu on the left hand side? I’m interested in having a layout magazine but like to have the menu on the side. Thanks for your help.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your feedback and interest in Essentials theme :) Currently the left sidebar menu layout is not available, however, we will try to add it in future updates.

Kind regards,

Hi, how can I update the child theme? Works the same way as updates in Envato plugin? Thanks!

Hello,

The WordPress child themes are designed for the purpose of not losing your changes upon updating the parent theme, and normally they don’t need to be updated with the theme unless small changes were made to the default Child theme (in this case we will mention the changes and how to update it in the changelog in case you have custom changes in the child theme), however, if you didn’t add any custom modifications to the child theme you can update it by simply deleting the child theme then upload the new version.

Please note that we didn’t release any new updates to the child theme, so at the moment you don’t need to update the child theme installed on your website.

Kind regards,

Hi, great theme you have there! I’ve got some pre-purchase questions..

1. Some hover scale effects make content jitter, e.g. Pricing Tables or Photo Box. This zooming effect happens not quite smooth. Could you fix it?

2. Many people are forced to use adblockers nowadays and uBlock Origin for Firefox on a Mac makes your go-to-top-button disappear! That is a huge disadvantage. Could you make this element evade adblockers?

3. When switching between demo pages my i7 Mac’s CPU load gets quite a spike. Is it just because of your many demo elements and animations or is it the code in general? Is it going to be like this when I’ll build a website from your demo pages and elements?

4. Your parallax image mask doesn’t seem to move on my latest Firefox for Mac.. https://essentials.pixfort.com/original/headings/

5. In the “Fancy Mockup”, is it possible to insert another 3D object (not a screen), instead of your tablet?

6. That 3D effect and animation in the Image Box element cause quite a load on the CPU. Is there any way to avoid it?

7. Do all the color pickers offer alpha channel in GUI instead of rgba CSS entry?

8. Is a GDPR module included?

9. Is the theme code clean and well-commented? Is the CSS naming well-assigned and comprehensible?

Thanks! Kind regards, Andreas

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback!
1. The scale effect is the default css scale transform function, and rendering it depends on the browser, however, the effects on elements can be changed or disabled depending on your needs. 
2. The back to top button is a simple HTML link with an icon in it, and we tested it with multiple ad blocking tools (including the one you are referring to) and it’s showing normally.
3. The demos include additional assets (for example videos) and also both page builders (WPBakery and Elementor) are activated at the same time for demonstration purpose to preview builders support, and normally they won’t be used at the same time in actual websites, however, the page load depends on the content that you use on your page (how many videos, sliders, 3D animations,...etc) and on the browser you are using.
4. Currently Firefox browser doesn’t support adding fixed images as text background and this is a known bug in the browser.
5. Currently it’s not possible to add other custom mockups, however, we will try to add more options in future updates.
6.  Rendering 3D effects depends on the browser, and if it’s also combined with gradient colors this may load heavier in some browsers that are not optimized for 3D or gradient colors.
7. The theme supports WPBakery and Elementor page builders and the color pickers are the default color pickers of these page builders.
8. Currently there is no GDPR plugin included with the theme.
9. The theme includes standard comments for the main functions and files.

We recommend you to check the item preview to make sure the item is suitable for your project and is compatible with your hardware or software.

Kind regards,

Hi, thank you for your quick and extensive reply!

Where are you based that you answer emails so early in the morning at Paris time? What are your working hours and days?

Some question remain not quite answered however:

2. Well in my case the go-to-top button disappears, as soon as I re-enable uBlock. Maybe you haven’t tested with “cosmetic filters” ON or without testing through all of the regional filters? There are themes where this button doesn’t get hidden by uBlock, so yours must be somehow different.. would you consider checking it again with regional and other filters enabled?

7. So basically, not every color picker offers alpha channel within GUI?

9. What do you mean by “standard comments”? In my question I meant the code – whether it is well-commented, clean structured and named comprehensible. Because I’ve seen some themes with such a mess in naming and without proper comments on what is what…

10. What are minimum/recommended server requirements?

PHP Version:
MySQL Version:
upload_max_filesize =
memory_limit =

Kind regards, Andreas

Hello,

You are welcome!
The support requests are normally answered within 24-48 hours depending on the availability and the type of request.

2. If you are using external browser add-ons or scripts that modify the content of the pages incorrectly we recommend you to contact the add-on developer to report the bug in their tool.
7. No, it depends if the element accepts opacity colors values.
9. As the theme is sold as an end product it includes comments for the main files and functions, however, it doesn’t include documentation for every block of code nor any instructions on how to customize the code of the theme (no customizations requests or questions can be provided through item support on themeforest).
10. The recommended server values are:
PHP version 7
The theme doesn’t require MySQL version (check WordPress requirements).
upload_max_filesize: 64MB
memory_limit: 256MB

Kind regards,

Hello, is it possible to use the theme on a subdomain with similar content, only the difference is that the subdomain should be a landingpage ?

Hello,

You can install the theme on a domain and its subdomains/subdirectories using one license as long as they are related to the main website (the same company/business/product…), otherwise you will need a license for each subdomain/subdirectory website.

For more information you can check this article from our Knowledge base:

Hi guys, great theme, love it, if i purchase it, can i make with your amazing theme the effect in below link tinyurl.com/1c7tta8s Look in the section “Upcomming Events” ON mouse hover image goes up and the text below Thanks

Hello,

Currently this specific effect is not available.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I was wondering if the design of the “my account” page is automatically copied for other directories on this page if an external plugin adds one. For example, I have an external plugin which adds a “my coupon” section on the “my account” page, does this section automatically get the same design as the other sections like “orders” for example? In other words, will the added section look the same as the other sections of the WooCommerce account dashboard or will it just be the standard design of the external plugin?

Kind regards

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Essentials theme :)
The “My account” page is the default Woocommerce account page with additional styling of the theme, if an external plugin uses the default WooCommerce styling it will be designed in the same way as WooCommerce, however, if the external plugin uses its own styling, then it will have the standard design of the plugin.

Kind regards,

need help with the theme. It was working but after new Wordpress update all the blocks in WP Bakery appear as code. Can you fix this issues?

Hello,

Could you please contact us via the chat tool in your pixfort hub account for further assistance?

Kind regards,

Hello, looking at using this theme for ecommerce. One thing I have noticed in the demo is:

on mobile the shop page displays one product per row. Are there options in admin/customizer to display 2 products per row on mobile? (Obviously with smaller pictures) it means less scrolling and a fuller feeling shop on mobile.

If not already a feature, please consider it! Im sure it is not beyod your capabilities. Other themes on themeforest have it….

For this reason I will be using another theme for my next ecommerce project but would love to use Essentials in future..

Also, do you have an unlimited websites license? thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your interest and feedback :)

Currently the 2 products per row in mobile layout is not available, however, we will try to add it in future updates.

Concerning the license, all themes on themeforest are under the same license which requires one Regular license for each one end product for yourself or for one client, therefore installing the theme on different domains will require a license for each domain.

For more information you can check this article from our Knowledge base:

Hi guys, awesome theme, i need to have also basic events functionality, is this possible with your great theme? Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your interest and feedback :)
Currently there are no events functionality included in the theme, to add extra functionalities you may use third party plugins depending on your needs. 

Kind regards,

pre sales question: does it comes with a child theme, thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in the theme :)
Yes, the child theme file is included in the main downloaded file.

Let us know if you have any other questions,
Kind regards,

Hello, I’m interested in buying this theme however, I have a question on the page builder, I can see that Essentials can use both Elementor and WP Bakery, but I have to ask, would I need to purchase the pro versions of these softwares to get similar websites to your demo sites?

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in the theme :)

Concerning Elementor, the theme uses the free version of elementor, you don’t need the paid version (elementor pro) to use the theme since all demos are built using the free version.

WPBakery is bundled with Essentials theme and to use it you don’t need to activate/purchase a WPBakery license, and you will get access to all WPBakery features with Essentials theme. Also you will receive future WPBakery updates automatically when we update the theme. Activating WPBakery license is only required if you want to get support from WPBakery team or to enable plugin updates separately from our theme.

Let us know if you have any other questions,
Kind regards,

hey there Is this theme compatible with multi vendor Dokanl? is there any chance or plan to test with it or make it compatible? tnx

Hello,

We haven’t yet tested the dokan multi vendor plugin with the theme, we may try to do that in the future.

Let us know if you have any other questions!
Kind regards,

Hi @PixFort – first, theme looks fantastic. Second, I’m very interested in buying however, a few questions:

1.) Read that all images come with the theme demo import (thinking of leveraging the Business demo) – I want to confirm this. The placeholder images help me design

2.) Want to confirm that the demo imports EVERYTHING – including header (with images; love the Pages option), footer, sliders, cookie disclaimer, and very importantly – the default mega-menu that you show in every demo

3.) Are lifetime updates included for all plugins (e.g. Slider revolution)?

Thank you, in advance, and very well done!

Hello,

Thank you very much for your feedback :)

1. When importing the demo content, all the placeholder images will be imported as well.

2. When you import a demo, il will include the pages available in that demo, the header, the footer, menus (a default mega menu will be imported for the demos which shows a mega menu in our live demo, however, you can import the same mega menu as in our live demos from the Demo Importer), sliders (which are part of the page), banners, etc…
You can check this video from our knowledge base to see how the demo import works:
https://essentials.pixfort.com/knowledge-base/importing-demo-content/

3. Yes, you will get the latest version of the included premium plugins with theme updates.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
Kind regards,

Hi @PixFort – Excellent feedback. Thank you!

You’re welcome!  And thank you for purchasing the theme :)
