Hi,

I am having a few issues with the theme.

1) I have added a full width header image with scrolling category.
However, it seems to be slow to load. The image loads at half of its set size and then expands to full width (very noticeable as the site loads)
This also happens to the full width footer sections (newletter section which does not have an image, just a blue background and full width image above it).

I am using WPBakery and not sure if that has something to do with it but if I need to use elementor I have no problem switching. Also I am not certain if my method or adding it is correct.

2) I’ve been trying to add some elements from your other demos to my site but cant seem to get it to work.
https://xstore.8theme.com/elementor/demos/niche-market04/ (edge to edge categories with bg image ALL, BEADS, CHAINS, CHARMS, NEW ITEMS) – Need to be added to the frontpage

https://xstore.8theme.com/elementor/demos/niche-market04/ (subscribe/social integrated into the footer section) – needs to be added to the footer

https://xstore.8theme.com/elementor/demos/ecoenergy/ (Leading Energy Provider facts & projects section added to our about-us page) – Needs to be added to our about us page.

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,

1) Could you, please, provide us with a link to the page where you used the breadcrumbs image?

2) You provided a link to the Elementor demo. WPBakery does not have such an element, unfortunately, and import of these sections from the demo is possible if you use Elementor to build pages.

Regards

Hi Olga,

#1) I am not speaking about breadcrumbs. I am referring to the paralax header image and sliding categories on the website homepage.. See link in the private notes

#2) It seems that Elementor versions are quicker loading than WPBakery and have better designs. Can you please move my site over to Elementor.

Please contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,

1/ WPBakery plugin styles and scripts make the section full width. So, if these styles and scripts are still loading you see the boxed layout. We can’t speed up this process from the theme side. You can just enable the site loader to show the site once the page is fully loaded (Theme Options > General > site loader).
2/ Read this article – https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/troubleshooting/how-to-speed-up-my-website/
and this topic https://www.8theme.com/topic/switching-from-bakery-page-builder-to-elementor/
