Kadence Pro is a premium plugin (addon) that extends the capabilities of the free Kadence Theme. Because it is an addon, it requires the free version of the Kadence Theme to be installed and active on your WordPress site.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
While the free version offers a drag-and-drop builder, the Pro addon expands the “toolbox” significantly:
20+ New Header Elements: Includes Account icons, Contact information, Search Bar, Divider, and additional HTML/Button areas.
Conditional Headers: Create and display different headers based on the page, user role, or post type (e.g., a specific header for “Logged-in” members).
Sticky/Shrink Header: Advanced controls for how the header behaves when scrolling.
This is the most powerful part of Kadence Pro. It allows you to build custom content and “hook” it into specific areas of your site:
Placement: Insert custom blocks before/after content, inside the header, or even replacing the footer.
Conditional Logic: Show elements only to specific users, on specific dates, or on specific categories.
Custom 404 & Archive Layouts: Replace the default WordPress error or category pages with your own custom-designed templates.
Mega Menu Builder: Create multi-column dropdowns using the Gutenberg block editor.
Menu Icons: Add icons (SVG or font) directly to menu labels.
Custom Backgrounds: Set specific colors or images for individual dropdown menus.
For shop owners, the Pro addon adds specific conversion-focused features:
Ajax Add to Cart: Adds products to the cart without refreshing the page.
Auto-Open Side Cart: Displays the cart contents immediately after a user adds an item.
Shop Toggle/Grid Controls: Extra styling for product archives and single product pages.
