SP Page Builder & Extra add-ons

Installing the Uikit assets plugin for extra add-ons so you can get the full functionality for all extra add-ons while working with SP Page Builder component.
All Pro template installation packages include 50+ extra add-ons, but the Uikit Assets plugin is not included or installed. This plugin loads the CSS/js libraries to add the functionality for Extra add-ons like Number counter, particlesjs, headline or light gallery add-on.
The installation process is exactly the same as installing a template package. You can do so by clicking the buttons below, or download via product page.

After install the Uikit assets plugin, go to Extensions -> Plugins -> search for extra then enable the System - Extra Addon Assets.
Note: The System - Extra Addon Assets plugin needs to be enabled to perform the Extra Add-on functionality. By default, the Enable Uikit Framework option is set to NO, if you are using Warptheme templates, just leave this option to NO because the template already included the Uikit framework.
