• First off, I’ve been using Weaver since before Weaver II and Xtreme and always found this theme to be what I need, want, desire and NO more (not too many frills that are not needed!).
    For the non-techie, you’ve got what you need to accomplish a LOT, without getting bogged down in too much extra coding / modifying. There is a lot here to work with, right out of the box.
    If you do not find what you need here, there are a ton of helpful forum posts and users out there who can and will assist with accomplishing what you need or want if it is not evident.

    The one thing that I will add (and this is not just Weaver) is that one of the very FIRST things that I do is to REMOVE the ridiculously contrived, BS, slow, stoopid WP “Customizer”.
    This was / is some WP developers Dream Child that on the surface may seem like a great idea for the noob / Dummy, but in reality, for MOST themes, is simply an added layer of complexity!

    Might be nice if Bruce (or WP for goodness sake!) would create a switch / check box to turn this travesty OFF for those of us who find it obtrusive and dumbing down for most purposes.

    So, then, my very first plug-in is the mighty fine Customizer Remove All Parts plug-in (and then right after that, WP All-in-One Security to alter the blog / site default log-in page AND change another ridiculous convention, the default admin user name, which IMMEDIATELY shows up for ALL of the world to see on the sample blog post the moment you install WP! WTF… ).

    Love & big ups to Bruce for this awesome theme and all the work that he has and is doing on Weaver Xtreme! Thanks . . .

    There already is a checkbox to disable the Customizer Weaver Xtreme interface.

    It is found on the Legacy interface (which requires the Weaver Xtreme Support plugin – www.ads-software.com will not even allow us to include the legacy interface with the main theme).

    It is on the Weaver Xtreme Admin -> Advanced Options -> Admin Options tab and is the first option.

    Shame on THEM for this… ??

    Archaic and closed minded thinking on their part. This may be in part why many are either currently jumping ship from WP or simply starting right out on Wix (argh), Weebly or Squarespace or the like.

    They should consider that perhaps there WAS a time when WP was for the dumbed down, point / click crowd, but more and more (again?) WP is for developers. Drupal may again be gaining ground and Drupal is NOT for the faint of heart / dumbed down user, to say the least.

    WP users tend to fall somewhere in between the Wix / Weebly crowd and Drupal / J-la! web dev where HTML code (or perhaps even CSS / PHP) is not the kiss of death. The Customizer is horrid to use & horrid to look at. Abysmal POS . . .

    Thanks again Bruce!
