Nine header layouts, named instead of improvised
Most portfolio themes give you a header and a handful of toggles. Select-Themes publishes a list of named layouts instead: Fixed (logo left, menu right), Fixed Minimal (logo centred, fullscreen menu icon left, search right), Fixed Advanced (logo centred above a centred menu, widgets either side, menu hidden on scroll and shown on hover), Fixed Header Top (menu at the top with search and side-area icons, logo in the header bottom), four sticky variants that differ in where the menu sits relative to the logo and whether a widget area stacks above it, and a header with both logo and menu centred.
Treat that list as a set of starting points. The differences that matter are where your work sits on screen and how much of the header stays put when a visitor scrolls. On a photography site where one image fills the viewport, the fixed minimal arrangement keeps the page quiet until the menu is requested. On an agency site with several sections, the sticky compound header keeps a widget area above the menu, which is a natural place for a contact line.
Logos are handled per context rather than filtered from one file: the vendor lists separate versions for normal, sticky, fixed advanced and mobile headers, plus a side-menu-bottom logo, a content-menu logo, and dark and light header skins. A light logo mark needs its own dark-skin file, and the theme is built expecting that.
Navigation that describes the page it sits on
The sticky content menu is generated from sections you select on the page, so the navigation reflects the page's own structure instead of a site-wide menu. Anchors let a menu item jump to a section on the same page or on a different one.
That is most useful on a long single-page portfolio where a visitor wants the project grid or a contact block without scrolling through everything. It also shapes how you write: section titles become menu labels, so short, consistent names pay off immediately. The content menu has its own logo slot, so it does not have to inherit the main header's width or spacing.
The vendor lists other ways to open the navigation as well: left and right side menu areas with per-page background images and colours, a fullscreen menu, and a side area. These are variations on one decision, namely how a visitor gets to the menu, not which page they land on.
What the Select Slider does besides slide
The bundled Select Slider accepts image and video slides and adds options aimed at motion-led creative sites: SVG graphics support with an SVG line-drawing animation, image movement animation, and unlimited custom animations on slides.
SVG line drawing animates a stroke path as if it were being drawn, which suits a logo mark, a plan or a simple illustration that reveals itself on load. Image movement animates the frame inside the slide rather than the slide itself, producing a slow drift that reads as depth. Video slides let a showreel or a looping detail fill the space without needing a separate player layout.
The same vocabulary continues outside the slider, in the vendor's list: parallax sections with a full-height option, video background sections, border animations, icon hover animations and custom animations on title-area content. LayerSlider is named as an included plugin too, so a homepage plan has two slider tools to account for.
Choosing between the portfolio grids
Portfolio listings come in several variants rather than one grid. Masonry appears in a regular and a Pinterest style, list items can carry an entry animation, and the vendor's variable grid sizing means columns are not locked to a single width across the site.
The decision a designer actually makes is regular masonry against Pinterest style. Regular masonry aligns rows, which keeps captions comparable across a grid; Pinterest style lets uneven image heights stand, which favours a mix of portrait and landscape work. Neither is the better default, since the work decides.
Blog layouts mirror that flexibility: multiple list and single layouts, masonry, a loop layout and a slider, with post formats covering standard, gallery, link, quote, video and audio. Short link posts or audio notes then have a format of their own instead of appearing as truncated articles.
Version 3.5: bundled plugin bumps and two removals
The vendor's changelog entry for version 3.5, dated 11 February 2026, adds a WPML config file and WooCommerce 10.x compatibility, improves PHP 8.3 and Google Maps API compatibility, and updates WPBakery Page Builder to 8.7.2, LayerSlider to 8.1.2 and the Select Core plugin to 2.2. It also lists security improvements and a revised Google Fonts list.
The same entry removes the Select Twitter Feed and Capri Instagram Feed plugins, citing API changes, along with the twitter-connect script. That sits awkwardly against the feature list, which still names an Instagram feed widget and a Twitter feed widget. The changelog is the later statement, so plan on those widgets being unavailable and budget for a third-party embed if social feeds belong in your design.
WPBakery and LayerSlider arrive through the theme's own delivery, which is why the changelog records their version bumps alongside theme changes. The marketplace version was recorded as 3.5 on 4 November 2026; confirm what the copy you install actually contains rather than assuming it matches the entry.
Declared compatibility, and the limits of that list
The marketplace attributes, observed on 4 November 2026, declare support for WordPress 6.5.x through 7.0.x and for WooCommerce 9.x and 10.x, with WPBakery Page Builder and WPML listed under compatible tools. Documentation is marked well documented, the theme is widget ready and high resolution, and the included files are PHP, CSS and JS. The declared browser list still stretches back to IE9 to IE11 next to current Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and Opera, which says more about the project's history than about what visitors run.
A compatibility entry is a vendor declaration, not the outcome of an install on your server, PHP build and plugin stack. The same goes for the integrations: WPML is the route to a translated portfolio and WooCommerce matters if you sell prints or services, but neither needs to be active for a portfolio site to work. Because the changelog lists PHP 8.3 work as recent, testing a project page in WPBakery on the PHP version you actually run is the check that tells you something.
Questions & answers
Does Capri still include Instagram and Twitter feed widgets?
The feature list names both widgets, but the version 3.5 changelog removes the Select Twitter Feed and Capri Instagram Feed plugins because of API changes. Since the changelog is the later statement, assume the widgets are gone and plan an external embed if the site needs social feeds.
Can I reuse the photographs from the Capri demos on my own site?
No. The vendor states that it does not own the copyright for the images shown in the demos and that they are presentational only. Using them on a live site requires buying licences from a stock image source yourself.
What do I need in order to build pages with Capri?
Plan on WPBakery Page Builder, which the vendor ships with the theme alongside LayerSlider and Select Core. The feature list describes pages and layouts assembled from builder elements and more than 80 custom shortcodes, so WPBakery is the editing surface for portfolio and homepage layouts.
