Home 4 Lost Effects when I changed the Explore link from pixelwars via Elementor. Tried to change it back but it’s still not working. In any case, we need it to run from our site not pixelwars.

what am I missing?

Note: I also sent a contact email since the form entry slot for the license was near invisible on my browser.

Is there some place to enable the effect for the home page?
For reference, Home 4 should look like this – https://themes.pixelwars.org/artflow/demo-01/home-04/

It’s labeled “Home – Glitch Image FullScreen” on this page – https://themes.pixelwars.org/artflow/

Actually Home 04 is “Home – Background Slides” – https://themes.pixelwars.org/artflow/

Do I need Elementor Pro to enable on our website?

Looks like no one monitors this board.

Hi,
Thanks, and apologies again for the wait.

The good news is that this is straightforward to fix. On ArtFlow, each homepage animation is applied through the page Template — not through the Elementor content. You can see it in the page settings panel on the right, under “Template”:

The full-screen glitch effect (the layout with the “Explore” link and the artist intro) is our Home 03 demo, and it uses the template “Homepage Glitch Image Cover”.
The background-slides effect is our Home 04 demo, and it uses the template “Homepage Bg Slide Speed Up”.

So the page you edited — the one with the Explore link — is actually the Glitch Image Cover layout. That’s the key, because it tells us the effect comes from the Template setting, not from anything inside Elementor.
To get the effect back:

Open that page in WordPress (Pages → your homepage).
In the Page panel on the right, find the Template setting and select the option you want — “Homepage Glitch Image Cover” for the glitch effect, or “Homepage Bg Slide Speed Up” for background slides.
Save.

When an ArtFlow homepage suddenly loses its effect, it’s almost always because this Template got switched back to Default during editing. Re-selecting the correct template restores the animation. Editing the Explore link’s URL in Elementor is completely fine and won’t affect the effect, as long as the Template stays set to the right option.
On Elementor Pro: you don’t need it. These animations are built into the theme and run on the free version of Elementor, so Pro isn’t required for any of the demo effects.
On running from your own site rather than pixelwars: as long as the demo content was brought in through the theme’s importer, the images and assets sit on your own installation and won’t load from our demo server. Just make sure the Explore link points to your own page (or to “#” if it’s only meant to scroll the page down).
I also noted your message about the license field being nearly invisible in your browser — thanks for flagging it, and for emailing. We’ll look into why it’s displaying so faintly, and we can continue that part over email.
Thanks,

Serkan

Thanks for the info. We switched to Home 03 when we could not get “Homepage Bg Slide Speed Up” – Home 04 working.
I tried salvaging the existing Home 04 but Elementor gallery seemed to over-ride the effect. Deleting the Elementor gallery and adding our own or simply creating a new page with the template worked fine.
Only isssue with the “salvaged” Home 04 is the footer is not at the bottom of that page.

https://staging2.artworkontheweb.us/home-04/ – new gallery
https://staging2.artworkontheweb.us/homepage-bg-slide-speed-up/ – new page with template

On the page we built uisng the template, the images are only partially shown. Do we need to set something in the gallery for less zoom and hopefully show more of the image? Is there a recommended size for the images in the gallery for this effect?
