• HI,

    I’ve been using themegrill Colormag as my hobby site and I was able to edit everything using free Elementor. Today, I have activated Himalaya and Radiate theme and was caught in surprise that both themes cannot be edited with free Elementor. I can create new pages using Elementor but can’t edit the demo homepage for both themes.

    I installed WP+elementor in my hosting

    Is it because I have installed the themes incorrectly or is this a new policy by Themegrill?

  • Hi there,

    We have yet to integrate elementor plugin in those two themes but the themes does support the elementor block elements.

    Hi,

    Thanks for responding.

    I can’t edit the one-page homepage with Elementor, there is a pop up that states ‘you must call the_content function in the current template in order for Elementor to work.

    I’ve gone through the_content function from this page (https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/the_content/)
    that looks like this:

    function the_content( $more_link_text = null, $strip_teaser = false ) {
    $content = get_the_content( $more_link_text, $strip_teaser );

    /**
    * Filters the post content.
    *
    * @since 0.71
    *
    * @param string $content Content of the current post.
    */
    $content = apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $content );
    $content = str_replace( ‘]]>’, ‘]]>’, $content );
    echo $content;
    }

    I’ve inserted into Himalaya theme in few locations after ‘function’ but all came out as error and I had to undo the code inserting task.

    This is how it looks in the Himalaya theme..

    <?php
    /**
    * Himalayas functions related to defining constants, adding files and WordPress core functionality.
    *
    * Defining some constants, loading all the required files and Adding some core functionality.
    *
    * @uses add_theme_support() To add support for post thumbnails and automatic feed links.
    * @uses register_nav_menu() To add support for navigation menu.
    * @uses set_post_thumbnail_size() To set a custom post thumbnail size.
    *
    * @package ThemeGrill
    * @subpackage Himalayas
    * @since Himalayas 1.0
    */

    add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘himalayas_setup’ );
    /**
    * All setup functionalities.
    *
    * @since 1.0
    */
    if ( ! function_exists( ‘himalayas_setup’ ) ) :
    function himalayas_setup() {

    /**
    * Set the content width based on the theme’s design and stylesheet.
    */
    global $content_width;
    if ( ! isset( $content_width ) ) {
    $content_width = 783;
    }

    /*

    It will be great if you can guide where exactly to paste or replace ‘the_content’ code..?

    Hi Milan,

    I was redirected back to this wordpress forum from the https://themegrill.com/ official chat support.

    Does this mean I can’t get support?

    Regards,
    MD

    Hi there,

    My apologies that you were redirected back to the forum, it shouldn’t have happened. And about the query, could you please select the ‘Default Template’ from the Page Attributes while working with the elementor which is located on the bottom right when you edit the page.

    If the situation still persists, please let us know.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Milan

    Hi Milan,

    I am able to edit and create pages using Elementor perfectly for this beautiful theme.

    I am stuck at 2 instances:

    1- I can’t edit the home page using elementor.
    2- On the homepage, there is one service and one portfolio preinstalled widgets over there. But when I add another service and another portfolio widget on the Homepage, I face the following problem:
    – Both service widgets are populating the same pages.
    – Both portfolio widgets are populating the same pages.

    This shouldn’t be the case as every service and portfolio widgets should show their independent set of pages.

    How can this be resolved?

    Regards,
    MM

    Hi @meijerdoue,

    Yes, you can’t edit the front page using elementor as we have designed our theme’s front page in a specific way. For service and portfolio widgets, we can’t expect different results by duplicating.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Milan

    I also like this nice theme, but have the same need about put 2 different service widgets on the homepage. It’s a pitty ther’s no way two solve this need.
    Thanks for the clarification Milan.
    Andres
