The layout library is the actual product
Most niche themes lead with a demo photograph. iRecco's marketplace description leads with inventory: 15+ blog layouts, 10+ portfolio layouts, 30+ built-in custom shortcodes and more than 30 modules with their own settings.
For an energy company that number means something specific. A solar installer usually needs a project gallery, a services page set, a team page, news posts and product pages, and each of those has a different rhythm. Having a dozen portfolio arrangements and a set of blog layouts on hand means those pages can differ from each other without a second theme. Whether every layout suits your content is a judgment you make against the demo, not something the feature count settles.
Elementor plus a separate options layer
Pages are assembled in Elementor, which the vendor describes as the way to build without code. Sitting beside it is the WGL Framework, which the description fills out with over 100 theme options, a drag-and-drop header builder with presets, custom colours and fonts, and metaboxes that let you set local options on individual pages.
The distinction matters when you plan edits. Site-wide decisions — typography, colours, header layout — belong to theme options; a landing page that needs a different header or heading treatment can be given its own settings through the page metaboxes. That is a two-tier model, and it is worth deciding early which tier a change belongs to so you don't repeat the same setting across dozens of pages.
Gutenberg Optimized is recorded as No in the marketplace attributes, which describes the theme's intended editing surface rather than whether the block editor loads.
Positioning: renewable-energy services that also sell
The vendor frames iRecco around eco-friendly power work — its own examples are solar farm sites and solar panel shops. That framing shows up in the module list: row animations, portfolio modules, a team members module.
WooCommerce is listed as supported, and the observed attributes record WooCommerce 6.x through 9.x as the declared range. The description also refers to a bundled WooCommerce plugin; treat that as the vendor's claim about their distribution rather than a guarantee about any particular copy of the theme, and confirm what actually arrives before you depend on it. If you plan to sell panels, batteries or monitoring hardware, the shop side is a WooCommerce build either way — the theme supplies the surrounding design.
Portfolio browsing and team pages
Two modules deserve attention because they shape how visitors move through the site. The portfolio grid is described with a choice between infinite scroll and a Load More button — not a trivial detail. Infinite scroll keeps a visitor in a flicking rhythm, which suits a long gallery of installations; Load More gives a clear stopping point and a stable page position, which is friendlier when someone is scanning for a specific project type.
The team members module covers the other common need for a renewables business: showing the engineers, installers or consultants behind the work. Combined with the portfolio layouts, that covers most of the credibility content an energy company publishes.
What the changelog says about upkeep
The release notes give a useful read on where the vendor spends effort. Version 1.2.10 (8 February 2024) records PHP 8.2+ compatibility. Version 1.3.0 (17 May 2024) adds Elementor Pro compatibility alongside bundled plugin updates. Version 1.3.10 (6 June 2025) records a fix for a local file inclusion vulnerability in an AJAX handler.
Read plainly: the theme has been maintained against the builder it depends on and against newer PHP, and a known security issue was documented and patched. Those are the vendor's release notes, not the result of independent testing, and a changelog entry is not proof that every earlier release was free of problems. What it does tell you is that the theme is not abandoned — useful if you are weighing a theme first published years ago.
Declared compatibility and what ships in the files
As observed on 4 November 2026, the attributes declare WordPress 5.9.x through 7.0.x, browsers Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome and Edge, a responsive layout with four or more columns, and widget-ready status. The theme files are listed as PHP, CSS and JavaScript. Documentation is described as "Some Help" rather than extensive, despite the feature list's phrasing about extensive documentation — if written guidance matters to your team, sample it before committing.
A child theme is included, which is the right place for customisations that should survive updates, and RTL support was added back in version 1.1.2 in October 2020. The version number recorded in the marketplace is not the same thing as the version running in your WordPress install; the theme screen is the only reliable source once it is active.
Questions & answers
Do I need Elementor Pro to build pages with iRecco?
No — the theme is built around the free Elementor page builder per the vendor's description. Elementor Pro compatibility was added in version 1.3.0, which means the theme was adjusted to work with Pro's features; it does not make Pro a requirement.
Can I use iRecco for a business outside renewable energy?
The design and demo content are aimed at solar, wind and eco-friendly power services, and the module set — portfolio, team, blog layouts, WooCommerce — is generic enough for other service businesses. What you would be changing is the visual language and demo copy, so judge that against the demo rather than the feature list.
Is the child theme worth using?
Yes, if you plan CSS or template changes. The included child theme keeps your modifications separate from the parent, so theme updates don't overwrite them. Changes made directly to the parent theme files are lost on update.
