Thanks for this video.... I am a beginner and it's such a coincidence, I researched about best free theme and found Hestia and installed it yesterday. Today I have watched your video on previous version of Hestia in the afternoon then now I watched it in midnight and just realized that it's upload 2 hrs ago. Seems like world is favoring me to setup my own website. Thanks again!!
Hi Robert, Very informational video! I have never really used Hestia, but I have wondered about this theme a lot. I have been creating a list of all the themes I want to try out, and Hestia was on the list as well. I think I will be using this theme very soon, and I will use your tutorial to guide me through the process. Thanks a lot for sharing everything via this amazing video, it was very easy to understand and follow.
Thanks for all your clear presentations Robert! The only problem I am having is with trying to get rid of the "About Hestia, Need More Details..." text over my customized photo. I have tried everything, to no avail. Thanks!
Hi! I'm a beginner and i've just installed hestia free. I followed your tutorial, but i haven't in the top right menu the "sites library". In your other video, you compared hestia to astra and ocean themes and speak about this pre built demo sites section... How can i find it? Where i getting wrong? Thanks in advance!
Great tutorial! Thanks so much. Is there a way to create a staging area in the dashboard so I can chip away at building the site contents slowly? Any tips about how to prepare a makeover without simply uploading my current site and its contents (and problems)? 🤔
Hi there! Thank you for using Hestia! The front page sections, including the slider, can be achieved easily using shortcodes. Here is a doc to help in this regard - docs.themeisle.com/article/782-how-to-recreate-hestia-pro-frontpage-using-shortcodes-with-shortcodes.
Your tutorials are great, but often don't reflect what I am seeing. For example, I have no images displaying on my blog page, only on the specific post and can't figure our where the right switch or even the code is for this.
Hi, thank you for the video. I have an hestia pro theme, and I am not able to view and amend the general standard info in the contact field of the front page: how can I do? I am trying everything and and I am getting crazy ;-)
Great video to get me started. One question. I need to get my menu with a white background rather than over the picture in the big title. I want the picture, but my logo needs a white panel behind it to look proper. How can I do this?
Hello, could you advice me why I dont see stie library in mnu when I clicked on Hestia Options ? I have all other tabs, only site library is missing. My version is : Version 3.0.6. Many thanks for answer
Hi Robert, I watched your tutorial, I'm new in blogging, I installed Hestia, but the problem is when I open my website its showing on the page is (About hestia) and its not allowing me to look at my page, kindly help me to get rid of it.
When I view the Home page using the mobile view, it looks good. But when I view it on my phone it leaves out portions of the sections such as the testimonials. Can you help with that?
I'm using Hestia, and have been testing my contact form, but the messages aren't getting to my email and are lost in the ether? I have set up the simple contact form. What am I doing wrong?
I have purchased the Pro Version of Hestai. I installed in Wordpress from the ZIP file supplied/purchased. My problem is I can only Customize the Home Page using the Customizer. It says in the Customizer when you click on the ? (Question Mark) "The Customizer allows you to preview changes to your site before publishing them. You can navigate to different pages on your site within the preview. Edit shortcuts are shown for some editable elements." I cannot work out how to do this and it is driving me crazy. I see on the Video that you can access other pages to customize but as I said cannot workout how to switch from the home page to my other pages. I have setup Product Page, Team Page, Support Page and Contact Page but cannot access these pages in Customizer. I have installed Elementor but it is not working with the template very successfully, for example, I want to make 'Team' 3 columns across the screen but when I remove one column I cannot seem to find the tools to set it to 3 columns only. I am using the design exactly as per the template. Also I want to setup the Contact page as per the template but it is blank apart from image area across the top and the white page area. Look forward to hearing from you. Heather Johnston Johnston Design
Hi, tried to search Hestia on the search tab of themes but I keep getting this (No themes found. Try a different search.) May I know what I can do? Thank you for answering.
Hi, great videos you have. When i use elementor plugin for Hestia it works but when i import Hestia Original and use elementor to configue my about block section whole front page disapear and gone and no possible to return my front page look. I can use wp builder but i do not like that. I already reset my site a few times to figure it out what is wrong. Everything is up to date. Please help if you can. Best regards
Roll back Hestia to version v3.0.1 and the sites library is present. You can do this by clicking "Appearance --> Themes. Hover over Hestia theme and click 'Theme Details' and in the lower left corner it will say Rollback to v3.0.X...depending which version you have you may need to do it a couple times. This tutorial looks like it is based on that version but subsequent versions the site library disappears. I spent a couple hours trying to find it when that realization came about.
Hello, can you please tell me why the new pages I create show up only the title? I tried changing the customisations and changing page settings but none fixed the issue I hope someone can help
I'm having the same problem. My Hestia theme is up to date - v3.0.3 and I have the latest Orbit Fox Companion plugin installed - v2.9.11. The homepage with all it's sections just disappeared.
@@RobertPeterK Not really, the amount of woocommerce settings it has is close to 0...like many other themes that claim to be multipurpose. Sooner than later you will realize it's too limited. Happened to me with the Kadence theme.
Can you please guide me how to put in mailpoet or the like vs sendinblue? they denied me service for some reason and are being very vague about it. and b/c it's already set up on WP in the subscribe section, i'm having difficulty figuring something else out. how would you do mailpoet? thanks so much!
@@RobertPeterK thanks...but "there" do you mean mailpoet or blue? and what is the shortcode? the activation code? they never activated that is the problem and told me no.
@@RobertPeterK so i managed to get mailpoet...but my subscribe button has gone away under the big title section. i'm not sure how to activate it. the other thing is, I'd rather not have my subscribe box on my front page, but as a menu option and the button on my front page to direct them to a different page. not the front page. i want my front page to be very simple. thanks!

Click edit with Elementor or use the WordPress editor instead, it should work just fine
You should edit the front page content through the customizer. not that way
@@ThemeIsle Ok Tnx
Sites library option is not present in Appearance -> "Hestia option" at now so please help.
