How do I access my purchase?

In your Hub account, wherever you bought. Every license you own is listed there with its downloads, the full version history and the documentation. Sign in with the email you used at checkout. For an Envato purchase, sign in with Envato or with the email on your Envato account, and the license appears in the same list. The store keeps its own record too. Creem, which processes payments on this site as merchant of record, sends your receipt and holds the order. An Envato purchase also stays on your Envato downloads page. Your licenses, versions and downloads explains the account in detail.

How do I activate my license?

In your WordPress admin. Open the License tab in the theme dashboard, click Activate License, and sign in to Hub in the window that opens. You don't need to paste a key. Activating your license walks through each step and covers the usual snags: a window that won't open, an empty license list, a domain that's already in use.

What do I get in the download?

A ZIP file with everything the product needs: the files you install in WordPress, any add-ons that come with it, and the documentation. Unzip it before uploading anything, because WordPress expects the archive inside the package, not the package itself. Installing from a ZIP file shows each step.

Is there a free version I can try first?

Some of our products have a free version on WordPress.org, but not all of them. The product page says whether one exists. If it doesn't, register on Hub and ask about a free version in a presale question. Where to buy and download compares the free and paid versions.

How many sites does my license cover?

It depends on the license. Regular and Premium cover one site each, so a second site needs a second license. Agency has unlimited activations, so one purchase covers every site you build. The pricing card shows the number, and the full wording is in our Terms & Conditions.

Can I add more sites to my license later?

Yes, whether you bought here or on Envato. Add activations to the license in your Hub account and they land on the same key, so there's nothing to reinstall. Each extra activation costs the same as one Premium license. Buying more activations explains how.

Which license covers client sites?

Agency. It has unlimited activations, so one purchase covers every client site you build with the theme. Each site activates on its own domain, so you can always see where the theme is running.

How long do updates keep coming?

For as long as we release them, and every version stays available in your Hub account. How updates reach you depends on where you bought. A license bought on jkdevstudio.com delivers new versions to the WordPress updates screen once the site is activated. An Envato license has no automatic updates, so you download each version from Hub or from Envato and install it by hand. Support runs on a separate clock. A license bought here includes 12 months of it. An Envato license comes with the shorter window Envato sells, 6 months by default, with one support thread per product, answered after customers who bought here. Updating and rolling back a version has the details.

What happens when support runs out?

Your license keeps working. Nothing expires, and the theme never checks in to switch anything off on your site. You just stop getting our help with problems, since that's what the support period covers. You can extend it in a minute from your Hub account, on the license itself. The rules are in our Support Policy.

How do I move a site to a new domain?

Release the activation first. On the old site, open the License tab and click Deactivate License. That frees the domain and returns the activation to your account for the new site. If you can't log in to the old site anymore, use your Hub account: each license lists the sites it runs on, and you can release any of them there. Moving a license to another domain covers the whole move, cloned sites and the free staging slot.

Can I use my license on a staging or local site?

Yes. Every license key has one free slot for a staging or local copy you test on, on top of the sites you paid for. Tick the staging option when you activate. The site has to be one the public can't reach. Moving a license to another domain, and using it for staging lists what qualifies.

Can I get a refund on a purchase?

Yes, when there is a specific reason. A refund needs an actual problem with the product, such as a defect we cannot fix or a feature that does not work as described, and we review every request on its facts before deciding. Not liking the product, or a general sense that it did not meet your expectations, does not qualify. A license bought on jkdevstudio.com can be refunded within 14 days, and we still consider requests up to 30 days. An Envato purchase has the same 14 days, and the request comes to us through Envato. The full list of grounds is in our Refund Policy.

Can I upgrade my Envato license?

Yes, from your Hub account rather than on Envato, which doesn't allow upgrades. The upgrade changes where your license comes from, Envato to jkdevstudio.com, and the share of your Envato payment that reached us counts as credit, so you pay only the difference. The purchase code stays the same, so sites that are already running need no changes. What an Envato license covers has the details.

Can I run a blog on Verba without any plugins?

Yes. The blog needs no plugin, whether for the demo import, for extra features or for the utility plugins most premium themes ask for, like One Click Demo Import. The theme alone gives your readers the full post experience and styles every core block. WordPress theme guidelines limit how much a theme may do without a plugin, and we fit in everything they allow, so a simple blog runs on the theme by itself.

What does the Pro plugin add?

Most of what you see in the demos. With the theme and the Pro plugin installed and nothing else, you get about 90% of it. The Pro plugin does the work of dozens of separate plugins, and with Elementor and the integrations on top it opens up much more.

What are integrations?

Our own replacements for the mass-market plugins premium themes usually rely on. Take newsletters. Most themes send you to a free Mailchimp plugin from the WordPress directory, which wants a paid upgrade before you can make a second form, and whose dated markup only fits a theme after a lot of custom CSS. Our Mailchimp integration is written from scratch as a layer between Verba and Mailchimp, so its forms are part of the theme from the start. How theme integrations work explains the rest.

Do I have to pay for any third-party services?

Only for services you choose to connect. Verba itself needs no extra payment. Some integrations link it to services outside WordPress, and those need an account of your own: a multilingual site through Weglot needs a Weglot subscription, and search through Algolia needs an Algolia account, which has a free plan. Accounts, plans and API keys for those services are between you and the provider.

How does the AI integration work, and is it free?

It runs on the AI connector built into WordPress 7.0. You connect your AI provider to WordPress, not to Verba, and the theme reaches it through JKD Toolkit. We don’t build a connector of our own or add a fee on top through our API. You pay your provider directly for what you use, whether that is ChatGPT, Claude or another provider WordPress supports. Setting up AI features shows the steps.

Can I edit every part of the site with Elementor?

Yes, though Verba doesn’t start from Elementor. We built it in layers: native settings and customization first, the block editor next, and Elementor last, as a builder for page content. There are no Elementor demo options or style kits, since those belong to themes built around Elementor. You can still move Verba over to Elementor. Turn off the native navigation and build your own, or switch any template part, including archives, the footer, single posts and sidebars, from native rendering to Elementor. We plan to release demos built this way. Elementor settings to configure once covers the setup.

Why doesn’t Verba use One Click Demo Import, ACF or Kirki?

Because we think those tools are out of date. They are still the standard for premium WordPress themes, mostly because authors are comfortable with them. Most themes put their new ideas into the design alone. We think installing and running a theme deserves the same attention, so that is where most of our work goes.

Verba Reviews: What Buyers Say

Name: Verba – Modern Blog & Magazine WordPress Theme
Brand: jkdevstudio
Price: 29 USD
Availability: InStock
Rating: 5 (4 reviews)

Moved my blog over to Verba last weekend, about 400 posts in total, and the whole migration went remarkably smoothly. The reading experience is the first in a while that feels genuinely thought through, a slim bar at the bottom of each article with a reading-progress line, text-size controls, and a read-aloud button, plus an automatic table of contents and TL DR box generated from my own headings. Posts also load one after another as you reach the end, so there's no need to click through pages. And I didn't have to touch a single line of CSS!

I was looking for a theme for my new site and Verba was the newest one available at the time on Themeforest, so naturally I took a look. I loved it immediately and purchased it soon after browsing through the demos available with the theme - I didn't need to look elsewhere - when you know it's the one, you know! I've found Verba to be a great theme, highly customisable and very much suited to my needs and preferred style. The theme and its plugin is regularly updated which goes a long way, too. A highly recommended developer with quality products. Thank you!

Excellent theme! Verba is easy to customize and works perfectly with the Verba Pro plugin. The documentation is clear and helpful. The support team is responsive, provides detailed answers, and always goes the extra mile to help. Thank you for the great theme and excellent support!
