**Package Structure Update Notice**

**New Structure**

We have updated the theme package structure and switched the **Elementor version as the main installable theme** starting from **version 1.0.9**. From this version onward, the default theme file included in the package is the Elementor-based version. The **WPBakery (Visual Composer) version**, supported from **version 5.6**, is still included in the package as an alternative option for users who prefer or are already using WPBakery. The package now clearly separates both versions along with their respective child themes and required plugins, while common files remain unchanged.

***

**From Version 1.0.9 – Elementor (Recommended)**

```
whistle-[version].zip        → Elementor Main Theme (Install this file)
whistle-child.zip            → Elementor Child Theme
plugins-bundle.zip         → Required Plugins for Elementor
```

**From Version 4.7 – WPBakery**

```
whistle-vc-[version].zip     → WPBakery Main Theme (Install this file)
whistle-vc-child.zip         → WPBakery Child Theme
premium-plugins.zip        → Required Plugins for WPBakery
```

**Common Files**

```
/Licensing/                → License Information
/readme                    → Basic Instructions
```
