Styling sits in the Customizer, not inside WPBakery
Invested splits two jobs that many corporate themes blur. Page bodies are built with WPBakery Page Builder, which the vendor says is bundled, and slideshows are built with Slider Revolution, also bundled. Global colour and type decisions happen somewhere else: the vendor's feature list describes unlimited colour schemes changed from its front-end theme customizer, and font adjusting handled by the same customizer.
The changelog confirms where that code lives. Version 2.3, from July 2021, names /inc/customizer/typography-controls.php and /inc/default-customizer.php as the files touched by a typography update tied to a Google Fonts API change. So a palette or type-scale change is made once in the Customizer and applies to the theme's own elements, rather than being repeated through individual WPBakery rows.
The boundary is only partial. Anything you style by hand inside a builder row or a Revolution slide keeps its own settings, so treat the Customizer as the layer for global choices and the builder as the place for one-off decisions.
WPBakery is the page route the vendor supports
The marketplace attributes observed on 5 November 2026 list WPBakery Page Builder as the compatible plugin and mark Gutenberg Optimized as No. Read the second item narrowly: it describes the editing path the vendor prepares layouts and help files for, and it does not mean the block editor is switched off in WordPress.
If your team writes with core blocks and expects that to remain the primary layout tool, the theme's prepared pages and documentation point elsewhere. If you are comfortable composing pages as WPBakery rows and columns, with hero slides handled in Slider Revolution, the split is coherent: content in the builder, motion in the slider, and the surrounding site frame from the theme.
Mega menus, sticky header and a 1–4 column footer
Some of the most consequential settings on an investment site belong to the frame rather than to any single page. The vendor lists built-in support for drop-downs and mega menus, a header that can be fixed to the top of the browser so it stays visible while scrolling, and a footer whose column count is adjustable from one to four. Widget-ready is marked Yes in the marketplace attributes, so sidebars and footer areas accept standard WordPress widgets.
For this kind of site those three pieces do the heavy lifting. A mega menu groups portfolio, team, approach and contact links into one navigable panel. A sticky header keeps a contact item reachable across long scrolling pages. A footer that can go from one column to four lets you decide how much address, legal and signup detail sits below the fold. Each is configured once rather than per page.
Forms, translation and the Photoshop handoff
The theme ships its own contact form, described as able to build and display multiple forms. In practice that means a general enquiry form and a separate founder or investor submission form can both live on the site without adding a form plugin. Translation readiness is listed as a standard feature for localising the theme's strings.
The files attribute on the marketplace listing records Layered PSD, PSD, PHP, CSS and JS, and the vendor's feature list advertises Photoshop files for multiple pages and elements. That gives a designer a way to prepare layouts and graphics outside the browser and hand them back for implementation. Check the archive you install for exactly which files it holds, since vendor bundle advertising and archive contents are separate questions.
What the update history says about upkeep
The release log starts at version 1.0 in 2016 and reaches version 4.0, dated 13 August 2026, whose entries read "Updates to support WordPress 7+" and updated premium plugins. The intervening record is specific about platform work: version 3.8 in December 2025 covered WordPress 6.9+, version 2.8 in October 2022 added PHP 8+ support, and version 2.3 in July 2021 added PHP 8 support alongside the typography change.
Most of the entries in between are plugin refreshes, which is the unglamorous work of keeping the bundled WPBakery and Slider Revolution builds current. A few touch the theme itself: a menu-editing layout bug fixed in version 2.5, mega-menu and customizer file updates in 1.8, and a Google Maps API key requirement added in 1.2. A changelog is a maintenance signal, not a performance or security guarantee, and it says nothing about how a particular plugin mix behaves on your host.
Declared platform range, observed 5 November 2026
On that date the listing's software version attribute spanned WordPress 5.2.x through 7.0.x, the framework was recorded as Underscores, and WPBakery Page Builder was the only listed compatible plugin. Compatible browsers were named as Internet Explorer 9, 10 and 11, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome and Edge, with a responsive layout and high-resolution support. Documentation is described as well documented with help files.
The browser list still naming IE9 through IE11 says something about how the declarations have aged. Treat the WordPress range as a vendor statement rather than a tested pairing with your own stack, and confirm the WordPress, PHP and bundled plugin versions that matter to you against the archive you install.
Questions & answers
Does Invested work with the block editor?
The marketplace marks Gutenberg Optimized as No, which describes the route the vendor supports rather than removing the block editor from WordPress. Page layouts in the theme's workflow are built with WPBakery Page Builder and slides with Slider Revolution. If blocks are central to how your team writes, weigh that as a mismatch rather than a blocker.
Where do global colour and font changes happen?
In the WordPress Customizer, according to the vendor: unlimited colour schemes and font adjusting are both described as customizer controls, and the changelog names the theme's typography control files under /inc/customizer/. Styles set inside individual WPBakery rows or Revolution slides stay separate from those global settings.
What file types are listed for the theme?
The marketplace files attribute records Layered PSD, PSD, PHP, CSS and JS, and the vendor separately advertises Photoshop files for multiple pages and elements. Those declarations describe what the vendor distributes; check the archive you install to see exactly what it contains.
