    Hello,

    You can change theme variant in Theme Options > Import/Export section.
    Important, before you start, create full backup of your site files and database and also export theme settings in Theme Options > Import/Export > Options > Export Options to be able to restore your site to previous state if something goes wrong.

    I want to use the Elenor variant but when i do and i go to homepage it shows nothing there. What do I need to do is there something i need to enable other than the variant so that it looks like the sample? Currently I have the helen variant. What must I do other than the obvious backup etc stuff?

    I already know how that works. I already have it set to front page. When i use a variant in the settings and choose the variant that i want and save it it just ruins my homepage but does not show me the new front page displayed. I have tried everything and their seems to be very little explanation as to how to achieve this. Please help.

    Hello,

    Please make sure that you use the latest version of Visual Composer and Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer https://www.8theme.com/download-plugins/page/2/
    Is Eleanora home page available in Pages section with Visibility status – Public?

    I have already updated those plugins, it still does not work. I have never had any variant pages even when i installed the demo when i initially installed. I do not see any page variant named leaner or any other variant other than “variant 9” this is the only one and even this one does not work properly. I dont know what to do. It is not working. Please help. Thanks
