 * I am using the theme Imperial. It was offered as Freebee by themeforest.
    I was
   facing few issues and tried contacting the theme develeoper, but they informed
   that as it was offered free, so no support. In the theme there is a Project section(
   under home page section below the form) I need help in changing the Project category.
   The addon is WP-Bakery’s Work-in-Progress) Please suggest the solution

 * Unfortunately, we don’t have access to this “Imperial” theme at all, so we have
   no way of knowing how the theme’s “Projects” work and how to help you.
 * You may be better off switching to one of the thousands of free and well-supported
   themes available at [WordPress.org/themes](https://wordpress.org/themes/).
 * Good luck!

 * Not knowing anything about your theme, this is all conjecture. Content in any
   given section is commonly done by query. There is often some way in the back 
   end to specify what category should be used in the query. In some cases you could
   instead arbitrarily alter the post’s assigned category to comply with the section
   requirements. Since the category often does not display in the section, there
   may not be any ill effect here. However, assigned categories may appear on other
   pages so this may not be a feasible approach.
 * You can also alter the query criteria through the “pre_get_posts” action hook.
   The problem here is correctly applying the alteration for the correct query without
   adversely affecting other queries. It may take some creative coding to accomplish
   this.
 * While I cannot offer specific advice, I hope these suggestions trigger some line
   of thinking towards a solution.
