Hello Theme from Elementor doesn't work with Sensei LMS

Reported in here 4935748 - zen

We are using Elementor and Hello Theme from Elementor like a lot of people out there also in combination with WooCommerce. So I'm really wondering why you are not providing wrappers for the this famous theme until now. I can provide you with the following information I got so far:

• Hello Theme doesn’t have a check for handling taxonomy templates.
• Hello Theme doesn't have a page.php file, they are using a index.php instead
• Hello Theme doesn't have any sidebars registered by default

User came back here: forum thread

after the problem came up first time I used Astra Theme and Sensei works fine with it. Unfortunately Astra loads a lot of unneeded code and I would like to switch back to the “blank” Hello Theme from Elementor. I switched theme to test it but the course overview still gives out a “Nothing found” message like long time ago. Just wanted to ask if there’s any update on this. If not, I would really appreciate if you could tell me, why Sensei LMS is not working with Hello Theme and what they would need to add that it works.

They also shared a debug log:

The user on 5569676-zen had issues with the logo replacement; we suggested using Site Editor to edit the Lesson template.

We had the user do the following with no success - the Learning Mode header change didn't showing up in their courses:

• Go Appearance -> Editor.

• Choose "Lesson (Learning Mode)" template.
• Insert an Image block with a new logo in the header, adjust its dimensions and move in the correct position.
• Remove Site Logo block.
• Save the template.

but it turns out there is an incompatibility with Hello Elementor.

More different issues reported on 5604620-zen:

I go to load the Course Overview page (where the all courses should be listed for purchase) but I get an error message to say that the page does not exist. I looked through a couple of articles that said I needed to set up a Product Archive page, similar to how I set up my Shop page. But the Course Overview page still does not load; I still get the same error message.

Switching to Twenty Sixteen or Storefront fixes it.

Important to note that the Elementor page builder do not support WordPress blocks. In extension, Sensei blocks won't be visible when trying to edit a page using the Elementor edit tool.

Related report from a user in 6014320-zen using Elementor and the Hello Elementor theme where the lesson content is moving out of the boundaries and overlaying the left sidebar that shows a list of lessons. It happens on horizontal scroll. Screenshots were provided in the ticket.

Additional issues reported in 6061636-zen

Issue Sensei Course and My Courses pages do not work with the Hello Elementor theme. When the theme is active on visiting any of the Sensei Pages, we get a Page Not Found message.

The pages are working properly if we switch the theme to Course or Twenty Twenty x themes

I was able to replicate the issue on my test website. The test website had the following installed.

• WordPress 6.2.
• PHP 8.1.9
• Sensei LMS 4.12.0
• Elementor 3.12
• Theme: Hello Elementor 2.7.1

Issue reported by a user on 6905168-zd-a8c. When the "Hello Elementor" theme is active, visiting the "Course Archive Page" as set on Sensei settings causes a "Page Not Found" error to appear.

For some reason, the same issue does not happen with the "My Courses" page. Only with the "Course Archive Page" :thinking:
