Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is Sage compatible with Elementor or Beaver Builder?
A: While the core theme is compatible with both page builders, the pre-made page templates were created using Gutenberg blocks. To preserve design integrity and functionality, we recommend using the block editor for those templates. You can use Elementor/Beaver Builder for other pages or custom designs.

Q: Do I need to buy a license or extra plugin?
A: No! Sage is 100% free to use. The Kadence framework and all included blocks are open-source and don’t require any additional purchases.

Q: What technical setup do I need?
A: You’ll need a self-hosted WordPress website (hosting + domain + WordPress installed). Sage is not compatible with WordPress.com free plans. Learn how to start your site here: Getting Started Guide
