Hello, Derek0310,
Could you please provide more details about why you would like to use a third-party plugin for brands and specify what exactly is not functioning as expected?
To rule out the possibility of a conflict between third-party brand plugins and our theme, we kindly recommend conducting a test by disabling the brands feature through the Theme Options > Woocommerce (Shop) > Shop elements > Brands > Enable brands > Off.
Best regards,
The 8Theme Team
