Hi, just purchased the theme. It appears that the premade templates are sections, but there is no option to convert that I would usually see within the elementor control panel, why is this please?

Hello, @Steveb,

Thank you so much for purchasing our theme and contacting our support center.

We would like to inform you about a recent update concerning the Elementor plugin. The update involves a transition from using “Sections” to “Containers.” This change aims to enhance the flexibility and functionality of your web design experience.

Thank you. Yes I understand the concept of changing from sections to containers. My point is, the usual option to convert is not showing within the elementor panel like usual.

Hello, @Steveb,

We kindly request that you navigate to Elementor > Settings > Features > Flexbox Container > change the value to “Active”.

Its already set to active. Strangely, the convert option is there in the cart page, but non existent on the homepage.

Dear @Steveb,

We hope this message finds you well. We have come across a GitHub discussion regarding an issue similar to the one you are experiencing with Elementor, detailed at this link: https://github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/23280. It appears there is an unresolved conflict causing certain sections not to include a default button.

However, we have identified a potential solution that involves converting all sections of the affected page simultaneously. You can do this by navigating to the Page settings, and then clicking the ‘Convert to containers’ button located at the top of the page settings. For your reference, here is a screenshot of the button: https://prnt.sc/mW6jQOCaA8a4.

Upon clicking this button, each section will begin converting to a Container structure. A duplicated Container for each section will be created below the original Section, allowing you to compare and make any necessary modifications in the new Container area. Should you wish to retain the original Section structure for certain areas, you can simply remove the newly created Container that was migrated from such a section.

Could you please try the solution suggested and let us know if it resolves the issue? We are here to assist you with any further modifications or questions you might have.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson
