Hi there,

The Zerif lite theme was retired meaning there won’t be further updates for it. In this case, we recommend switching to our latest theme, Neve.

As continuity between those themes, only the home page template can be similar(an example here), and there is an automatic migration for it(steps here). The rest of the website will look different as it’s a new theme, however, it has more options than Zelle. Editing the front page in Neve has to be done with the page editor, which can be the WordPress one, Elementor, or another page builder instead of the Customizer as it was in Zelle.

If you would like to know more about Neve, below are a few characteristics of it:
it is very fast - check the main demo
it has a header/footer builder integrated
it's AMP & PWA compatible
it works with almost any page builder plugin
there are starter sites ready to import within a few clicks, including the Zelle template
It has dedicated integration with WooCommerce - details here

Let us know if you have other questions -- we are happy to help.

can I make downgrade of my WP from 5.8 back to 5.7? Maybe on 5.7 it will work again…
