• Looked great at first glance. Then, my page previews suddenly started redirecting to themselves. I decided the theme broke and went back to twenty-seventeen. On 2017, I got a front-page error I couldn’t get rid of in the content-front-page.php. I went searching for answers and couldn’t find any. Then I tried reinstalling wordpress altogether with no luck. I’ve never had this happen before and I’m still trying to fix my site! UGH!

    How is any of that the fault of any WordPrese theme?

    I figured out how to fix it (3 hours later.) Something went wrong with the page as I was creating a new page with the same name within your theme. When I noticed that I was no longer able to preview any of my pages, I just assumed the theme was broken, and I switched back to Twenty Seventeen. But when I switched, the problem presented as a “content-front-page.php” error on line 80. I reinstalled and noticed the error was still there after transferring all the pages into a new install. I think it was a duplicate page error that was resolved when I deleted the page that I had set as the home landing page. I also think it’s not a good idea to doubt your customers until you know what the issue is. I’ll raise you to 4 stars, but I’m not sure I’ll be going back to your theme.

    I’m going to agree with Jan here. You claim that it’s a bad business practice to doubt your customers when you have “if only it didn’t break everything” in your subject line and gave a one star for something that was your own fault. This is not how you begin a good relationship with the developers of a theme. A little courtesy can go a long way.

    Nope. Still don’t think the problem was on my end, but, you’re right, dragozir, I probably could have worded my initial response better. It was very frustrating issue. However, since I can’t delete this review or edit the wording (considering I’d need to edit your post as well since you’ve quoted my original wording), I’ll just leave it all up there with four stars. You’re welcome.
