Infographer

Infographic elements arrive as shortcodes, not template sections

The vendor's feature list groups five element types under Infographics: counters, horizontal graphs, icon graphs, vertical graphs and charts. They are modular shortcodes, which means each one is dropped into a page on its own rather than living inside a fixed template block.

That difference shows up at build time. A counter animates a figure into view, a horizontal or vertical graph turns a value into a bar, an icon graph repeats a symbol as a unit of measure. A results page can be a row of counters, then a chart, then a set of icon graphs, each with its own label and spacing. Nothing in that workflow requires a separate chart service or embed code.

The ground the theme covers best is narrow: annual and impact reports, statistics landing pages, funding summaries, and product comparisons where a bar reads faster than a table.

Parallax pages are the vendor's pitch for presentations and microsites

Infographer lists parallax pages as a bonus feature rather than a core one, and describes them as intended for presentations, microsites or a replacement home page. The admin interface is said to let you add unlimited parallax sections to any page while editing it.

The changelog shows this part of the theme receiving attention early on: version 1.0.5 records improved parallax on touch devices, 1.0.1 fixed parallax content width when the boxed layout was on, and 1.0.3 added a global option to turn the display delay of animated elements on or off for touch devices. Taken together, the vendor treats parallax as a scrolling composition rather than a single background image effect.

Page transitions and headers are set page by page

Four fluid AJAX animated transitions between pages are listed, with a global switch to turn AJAX off for conventional browsing. Beyond the four presets, the vendor says you can choose an animation type for any individual page. The stated purpose is a creative experience; the practical question is whether your visitors came to read a report or to watch the page change.

Headers work the same way. Each page can carry its own header with a different height and a background image or slider, and a fixed header can be switched on or off. A separate control mixes full-width and standard grid for header, footer and content independently.

Those settings give a long narrative home page and a plain inner page different rhythms, but someone has to set the values on each page. On a site with hundreds of pages that maintenance is real work.

Two menus, and only one of them is structural

The theme lists a regular header menu and a second content menu built from the sections of a page, which the vendor says allows one-page websites.

The distinction is worth keeping. A one-page site usually relies on anchor links you write by hand and update whenever a section moves. A menu derived from the page's own sections behaves differently: it reflects what is on the page because it is generated from it. For a statistics microsite or a single scrolling presentation, that turns navigation into a table of contents for the page's argument.

Note the scope, though. The content menu is described only in relation to page sections, so it does not convert a multi-page site into a one-page one; you pick a structure per project.

Flip icons and flipping images hold two layers in one spot

The interactive side of the theme covers services with animations, flip icons, flip images and elements with animation. Of these, the flip elements are the ones that earn their place on an infographic page: an icon or image on the face, a short definition or link on the back, in the space a paragraph would otherwise take.

The changelog shows the details were maintained rather than left as released. Version 1.0.6 added link and target attributes to both the flip image and flip icon shortcodes, and 1.0.9 added an image alt tag to the flip image shortcode. Those are small items, but an alt tag and a working link are what make a flip box usable for content rather than decoration.

What the release history says about running this theme now

The theme's first release was June 2013; the most recent changelog entry is version 2.2, dated 1 July 2022. That entry adds WordPress 6.0 compatibility and PHP 8 compatibility, updates Revolution Slider to 6.5.25 and the Infographer Core plugin to 1.1, and fixes child theme CSS priority, Facebook and Twitter sharing, and bulk selection in menus. Nothing in the history after that date is recorded.

The marketplace's software version field, as observed on 4 November 2026, lists WordPress 6.0.x through 6.9.x. That is a stored declaration in the listing, not a record of the theme being run on those versions. The highest WordPress version named in the changelog is 6.0, so the difference between the field and the release notes is not explained anywhere in the supplied material. Settle it on a staging copy that matches your PHP build and plugin stack.

On editing, the listing marks Gutenberg Optimized as No. The 2.2 entry's improvement to Gutenberg meta box styling concerns the theme's own meta boxes, not block-based page building. That flag describes tuning, not whether the block editor opens.

Slider, child theme and the one packaging caveat that matters

The vendor says Slider Revolution is included, stating a $26 value, and that the theme is child theme ready starting from an included dummy child theme. The marketplace files field records PHP, CSS and JavaScript files. Those statements describe the marketplace product; they are not a claim about the contents of any particular copy of the files.

The limitation worth reading twice is about imagery. The vendor states it does not own the copyright for the images used in the demo, that they are presentational only, and that using them on your site requires a licence bought from a stock image source. If you want the demo's look, budget for photography separately.

Infographer earns its place when counters, graphs and charts are the content, and when per-page header and transition settings are worth the upkeep. A general business site, or one where editors expect to build in the block editor, will leave its distinct parts unused.
