Page Keeps Loading

I see. No I didn’t try any other themes. The reason I don’t want to change is that a team has already agreed on the functions Swell offers especially on the homepage. We need the video for the header for example and the Technology space exactly the way it is now. twenty seventeen is not a good fit for our company and the other one doesn’t exist anymore.

I understand your concern.

You will have to make some choises about this, because I do believe this is not due to Elementor, but due to the combo Swell theme and Elementor.

If you want to keep the theme, I think you would be better off asking them for help.
On the other hand, I can tell from experience, that if you would switch to OceanWP + elementor you could easely re-create the homepage of Swell.

Actually, those two combined, the sky is pretty much the limit haha.
I only suggest this combo because it works great together and I have switched all 50+ sites and shop to this combo, without any regrets.

By the way, do you mean you want the video in the demo of Swell or just need to be able to put a video of your choise on the homepage?

Because this is the video used in the demo:

I re-created this in less then 10 minutes with OceanWP and Elementor:

If you put a bit more effort to it ( for me this is a quick test to show the possibilities ) you can achieve what you want like this too.

Just a thought, having video backgrounds usually is not such a great idea.
This video, can get removed by the owner, and you will be left with no video showing on the homepage ( unless you have your own video to upload ).

Further more, video’s do make pages load slow..

We use our own video. Any way, I still can’t find OceanWP so we switched to Fortune but now I have some other issues related to this theme. One is the video had 2 white boarders on the right and left.

P.S. OceanWP coul dbe on www.remarpro.com but it’s not on WordPress.com

Really, so you are not free to use what theme you want to use on .com?
That would be a huge dealbreaker for me ??

Why not host on a hostingcompany that gives you that freedom instead?

We are not coders and hoping to find a theme that can meet at least 85% of our requirements but now we are in the middle of it. Is there any way we can get rid of those white borders on the right and left of the video?

I turned off the Player Control but it still shows the icon on my video and also shows YouTube in the bottom corner!
