We’re trying to remove the category link that appears at the top of a page when you click on a video. On the video page, there’s a link to its category at the top, and the same thing happens on other major content pages. Is there a setting we can turn off to remove it everywhere, or do we have to go to each individual page and remove it one by one?
As an example, if you go to this page of ours: https://www.flipfloptheclown.com/js_videos/spooky-empire-summer-2025/, you’ll see that at the top it has a link to the “Conventions” category. Like I said, is there an easy way to remove that through the settings?
You can try to hide it from CSS: .cpt_post_meta {display: none;}
What specific CSS file do we implement that code and where on the file do we put that code?
You can simply paste it to Appearance – Customize – Additional CSS. Please do not make changes on the theme files.
It kinda worked. I was looking for a better solution. It worked for the video pages and photo album pages and music pages, but it didn’t take it out of the blog pages (example: https://www.flipfloptheclown.com/online-dating-in-my-40s-why-im-completely-done). and you can still find links to the categories in different areas of the site. is there a permanent setting we could just turn on and off for that?
If you want to hide the post meta from header for single posts, you can hide them with .lc_post_meta {display: none;}
But we are trying to do is remove all of category links from appearing everywhere on site. The reason is because we’re using our own filtration system on the website and the filtration system generates its own category urls. Will that code remove all the category links from everywhere on the site?
For example, when you go to the
video gallery page: https://www.flipfloptheclown.com/videos/
Or the
music page: https://www.flipfloptheclown.com/music/
You’ll see those category links listed under each video that’s on the video gallery page or on each song on the music page. Will that code that you gave us remove links from there too?
Hi! I’m interested. I have a question: can the site be built with Elementor, or is another plugin or Elementor Pro required?
Hi! The theme was built with the free version of Elementor, you don’t need the PRO version. Let me know if you have more questions.
Very nice theme! I have just instaled and did only one single page website with sections. i have put anchors to navigate through sections, but is there any setting for smoothing the slide transition from one section to another? i have used some themes and the transition was smooth. Thank you!
Hi! Can you please open a support ticket here? https://smartwpress.ticksy.com/submit/#100012518 I can take a look on your setup.
Hi, is it possible to change the font used by the theme in the Events and Videos page layouts?
Hi, I will help you. Please open a support ticket at the following URL and offer more details about what you need: https://smartwpress.ticksy.com/submit/#100012518
Is there any way to change the sort order of the albums (by release date for instance)?
Never mind, I’ve solved it now! 
The albums are by default sorted by the creation date. So if you want to change the order, simply edit the album post and change the published date for that post. Please let me know if you have more questions!
Hello, is there a bulit in capability in this theme to have a film looping as a background on the home page?. Thanks.
Hi! Yes, the theme fully supports looping video backgrounds on the homepage. Since it’s built on Elementor, you can easily add a looping background video to any section using Elementor’s built-in background video option (self-hosted or YouTube/Vimeo). Additionally, the theme includes Slider Revolution, which also allows you to create advanced sliders with looping video backgrounds and more complex animations if needed.
Hello! I want to purchase this theme. One question: i want to create the website local using MAMP and i want to know if i can activate the license on localhost (i need all features – pro plugins, theme templates) and activate on live server after migrating. Thank you!
Absolutely! You can create your test environment then move to the prod. Let me know if you have more questions!
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?
Hi! The album info automatically appears on the player, each detail have its dedicated place where is displayed, depending on the album layout. Do you have a specific info that you cannot find on the layout?
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/
Thanks for your suggestion! Can you please offer more details about the place where you want to use the advanced filters?
on all the main content pages like the video pages, the photo pages, blog pages, music pages. I have talked about this before many times here on this comment section and so have many other people. Been asking for this since 2019 and you guys keep saying that you’re gonna put it on your to do list and many people here in the comment section been asking for the same thing. Please read my previous comments.
Thank you again for your detailed feedback and for sharing your thoughts with us over the years. We truly appreciate the time you’ve taken to contribute ideas and suggestions.
When it comes to implementing new features, we carefully prioritize the requests that would benefit the majority of our users. This helps us keep the theme balanced and ensure that development time is invested into functionality that will have the widest impact.
The feature you’re asking for is more of a niche request, since no one else asked for it. While this is still on the TODO list, I cannot specify an exact delivery date for it. However, if this functionality is essential for your project, we can certainly look into offering it as a custom development service, tailored specifically to your needs. If you’d like, I’d be happy to discuss the scope and provide an estimate.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our theme!
You’re asking me to pay you to install a couple of free plug-ins that would improve the search and navigation of your theme? How does that make any sense? I’m suggesting you implement these free plug-ins into your themes so everyone can benefit from them. I’m not the only one who has requested these improvements—just read the comments here and you’ll see that others have asked as well.
Can you please tell what do you mean by implementing free plugins into the theme?
Read the original post and I put 10 days ago. i gave you a list of free plug-ins that will solve these problem. All you gotta do is implement them onto the theme.
All clear, but the plugins you mentioned do not work with the custom post types implemented in Slide. The functionality you are asking for needs to be implemented, the plugins cannot be simply integrated into the theme without any custom development.
So you tell me if I were to install those plug-in myself they wouldn’t work on my theme?
I cannot tell since I did not test them. But most probably, they will not access the custom post types degined in the theme.
they specifically say that it works with custom post types. “Filtering any Post loops/grids (any Custom WP Queries)”. Like I said before , I don’t need to pay you hundreds of dollars to install the free plug-in. You’re missing the big picture! This is their official website for the plug-in if you want to know more. https://filtereverything.pro/
Thansk for the details! Did you try to use this free plugin with Slide? Did it work?
Got stuck in the process because every time we try to edit one of the content pages with elementor it says an error saying that… you must call ‘the_content’ function in the current template in order for elementary to work on this page. We’re trying to edit that specific page so we could add the short code for the filter.
That is because you are trying to edit the special page templates that automatically generates the layout. Can you please tell what pages did you try to edit? I can add custom content option for these pages for the next update so you can try to test the filtering plugins.
We were editing the video gallery page (https://www.flipfloptheclown.com/videos) in order to test out the plugin. Ideally, we would like to implement the same functionality across all major content pages, including the photo gallery, blog, and music pages.
The content area is now shown (if exists) for the auto generated layout page based on videos template, starting with the theme version 1.3.5.
OK, so once we do the update we will then be able to add the short code for the filter?
Yes, the auto generated archive pages have a content are so you can add custom layout elements on top of the generated content.
We did the update and we try editing the video content page but we don’t know exactly where it is that we can copy paste the token and put in the filter. Can you please show us with screenshots where we could put in the widget/token?
You can place the widget or shortcode in the content area. Edit the page in WordPress and place the shortcode on the page.
So apparently we can’t edit the page with WordPress, WPBaker or elementor. we keep getting error messages. We took screenshots of the error messages if you wanna take a look at them. You have an email address to send?
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
Thank you for noticing this! I will check an release an update if needed.
Hi! I’ve checked the demo URL you mentioned and it looks that the problem was coming from the caching plugin used on the demo website, there was nothing wrong with the sharing URL used but the Facebook share icon. I’ve cleared the cache and now the preview on Facebook is fine. Can you please check on your side?
The problem still there. It’s not an isolated issue Just happening with that specific demo theme. It is happening on all your themes and happening on our website and other people that are using your themes. It’s a global problem happening throughout your themes is what I’m trying to explain to you. Please test it out on all your themes and other devices so you can see that the issue still happening.
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!
Hey I am getting the following warning from Wordfence: The Plugin “WPBakery Page Builder” needs an upgrade (8.3 -> 8.5). Type: Plugin Upgrade Issue Found July 10, 2025 3:17 pm Critical
Can you push an update including the WPBakery 8.5 please?
Sure, I will prepare the update, thanks for notice!
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! First of all, sorry for my late reply, somehow I’ve missed your comment. I think you can easily achieve this by editing the single gallery in Elementor. Please try this and let me know if it works!
Thank you for your answer. I am not sure where or how to edit the single gallery in Elementor. I’ve tried to open different pages but couldn’t find the right one. If you could give a bit more instructions, I would appreciate it!
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
Hey, love the theme, it’s been working great until a day or two ago the site is experiencing a critical error stemming from slide-music-core.
My theme and the elementor plugin are both up to date.

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!
