FAQs

If you purchase or sign up for a “Lifetime” theme or membership, this means support and updates will last as long as you use the theme. It also includes the life of the theme, providing we continue supporting it.

If you have a theme that allows you to upgrade to the next level, you can. For example, if you have the Personal 1-year Theme, you can upgrade to the Personal Lifetime option. You can also upgrade to the All Access membership. All upgrades will be prorated (paying the difference of what you originally paid to that of what you are upgrading to.

For the most part, yes. We will do our best to keep our themes up-to-date and compatible as WordPress makes updates. However, we cannot guarantee this will always be the case when it involves third-party plugins.

For premium themes, yes. However, you must have an active license key to receive support. For free themes, support is not guaranteed, although we will do our best to provide support from the WordPress.org website. Look for our theme, visit the theme page and then click on the Visit the Support Forum button. Please note that premium theme customers will have priority.

We understand that things might not work out to your expectations, so we offer a 14-day full refund guarantee. If for any reason you are not happy within 14 days from your date of purchase, you can make a request for a refund.

Unless you have a “subscription” based membership, single theme purchases and the All Access membership does not automatically renew–we prefer you make that decision. We do recommend that you renew your theme or membership before it expires to maintain theme updates and support.

We try our best to keep our themes compatible with any changes WordPress does. We usually tell people that our themes will work with WordPress version 4.7 and up. However, if you use the Gutenberg block editor, you will want to make sure you are on at least version 5.0. We also recommend that you keep your WordPress up-to-date to ensure any bug and security issues are fixed.

For anyone using ClassicPress, our themes should work, but we cannot guarantee this will always be the case. WordPress is continuously changing, as well, third-party plugins could also be an issue as they incorporate more Gutenberg block features. Because of this, we are working on developing standalone themes for ClassicPress, only.

If the theme was working prior to an error notice, most of the time it’s due to WordPress updating or a plugin that was just installed or updated. The most common way to pinpoint what caused the error, is to one-by-one disable your plugins. Each time you disable one, check if the error disappears. If it does, then the last plugin you disabled more likely was the problem source. However, we still request that you submit a support request describing the error. If it turns out to be our theme, we will fix it right away.

We try out best to make our themes work with most plugins. Unfortunately, we have no control what third-party plugin developers will do. When it comes to the more popular and premium-based plugins, you should be OK.

Quality is always going to have priority over mass producing themes. With that being said, we plan to release at least 12 more themes throughout 2023. This will include a premium version for every free version we release.

We’ve never been a fan of page builders because they produce horrible code and they generally “lock’ you into using them. This means that once you start using a page builder in your website, you are stuck using it for as long as you have your website. Granted, there are many people who prefer page builders, so to answer this question, you can use one if you wish–but not they are not required.

We understand that not everyone loves the block editor. Long story short, you do not have to use the block editor for our themes as they are compatible for both the Block and Classic editors.
