Hire Qi Theme Developers

Qi Theme is a free WordPress theme developed by QODE Interactive, the company behind the Bridge theme. Where Bridge is built around WPBakery, Qi is designed specifically for Elementor. The theme provides a minimal, clean base and the free Qi Addons for Elementor plugin extends it with over 60 custom Elementor widgets covering typical creative and business site requirements: animated headings, card sliders, icon lists, pricing tables, team members, and portfolio layouts.

Qi is free, which drives its adoption quickly. QODE Interactive also maintains Qi Blocks for the Gutenberg block editor, extending the Qi range into the block editor. Qi Theme Pro adds premium features including advanced header options, custom fonts, and additional Elementor widgets through the Qi Addons Pro plugin.

Because Qi is Elementor-dependent, developer work on Qi sites is largely Elementor work within Qi’s framework – header and footer configuration, child theme CSS overrides, Qi Addons widget conflicts, and performance optimisation of the Elementor + Qi combination.

Qi Theme developer work typically involves:

• Header and footer customisation – configuring Qi’s header builder for specific layouts, sticky behaviour, and mobile menu design.
• Child theme setup and CSS overrides for brand-specific styling beyond Qi’s customiser.
• Qi Addons widget configuration – setting up and styling specific Qi Addons widgets to match a design requirement.
• Resolving Qi Addons conflicts with other Elementor plugins or add-ons.
• Performance optimisation – reducing Elementor and Qi Addons asset load for better Core Web Vitals scores.
• WooCommerce integration – configuring Qi’s WooCommerce settings and customising product page appearance within the Qi framework.

Qi Theme work is primarily Elementor work – look for developers with strong Elementor experience who have also worked with Qi specifically. The Qi Addons widget set has its own settings interface and CSS output that differs from standard Elementor widgets.

For conflict resolution, ask how they diagnose Qi Addons conflicts. The approach should involve disabling Qi Addons widgets one by one to isolate the conflicting widget, checking for JavaScript errors in the browser console, and testing with other Elementor add-on plugins disabled.

Common Qi Theme problems:

• Qi Addons widgets not appearing in Elementor – the Qi Addons plugin is deactivated or there is a version conflict with Elementor. Ensure Qi Addons is active and updated alongside Elementor.
• Header not displaying correctly on mobile – Qi’s mobile header settings are configured separately from desktop. Review the mobile header settings in Qi’s customiser and test at mobile breakpoints.
• Qi animated widget not working – a JavaScript conflict is preventing the animation script from running. Check the browser console for errors and test with other plugins disabled.
• Custom CSS not applying over Qi styles – Qi or Elementor generates inline CSS with high specificity. Increase custom CSS selector specificity or use targeted Elementor custom CSS on the specific widget.

Qi Theme and Qi Addons update together and should be kept current alongside Elementor updates. QODE Interactive releases Qi Addons updates to maintain Elementor compatibility – running an outdated Qi Addons version against a current Elementor version is a common cause of widget display issues.

When posting a Qi Theme project, specify which Qi Addons widgets are in use, whether Qi Theme Pro is active, and the specific requirement. For bug fixes, describe what changed before the issue appeared and which pages are affected.
