The process of picking a Theme is mind-boggling. Understandable that Programmers, thinking about how the code works, design things like they do. I found a lot of nice themes that, with a little CSS, would, probably, work. BUT I do not (that is NOT) want to learn code! I just want a theme that will do what I need. I have been working with it for about a month. So this is a preliminary review.
First, a great, impressive menu system. I’ve seen blog after blog that posts tons of inspired and wonderful ideas but there are few ways to find what you want, when you go back to that blog. I’m writing a Bible Study website. I need my readers to easily find the chapter of the book they want to read about. Mantra lets that happen. Easily. And I absolutely love the way the menu is positioned at the bottom of the Header Picture. That’s what attracted me to this theme in the first place.
Second, and the reason I almost did not give it Five Stars, is that it does not have secure registration and log-in. But I get that many site owners would want to use a plug-in for this. And for them, that would just be extra, useless, code to slow down their site. It seems to work well with the plug-ins I’ve tried.
The “click here to read more” function is wonderful.
I hate that my biography shows up just above the Comments Box. I could not figure out how to reposition it. This is a negative as far as the rating is concerned, but not enough to make it four stars. I discovered that, by elimination my biography in the WordPress Porfile, I can add it to the widget/footer section at the bottom of the page. Consider my rating to be 4 & 1/2 stars.
I wish Cryout Creations would put a feature comparison chart on their website. Mantra is, so far, working well for me. I really like it. I am seeking a Theme for a different blog/web-site. A comparison chart would be helpful. I have decided on a couple of Cryout Creations themes, as they seem to be one of very few theme designers that make it possible for me to do what I am thinking…without knowing code.

I am getting upset about constant popping up of the “click-on-all-cars” sort of reCaptcha images upon every page or editor load… How do I get rid of them?
Thank you.

I’ve been using Mantra for about 5 years now. I really like the theme. It allows lots customization but has a decent interface for doing so. I’ve migrated several friends sites to other Cryout themes as well. They’ve been grateful too.
With the recent Mantra v3 update, the formatting of my sidebar was messed up some. But I just had to ask for the right CSS IDs and I could add the custom CSS snippets into Misc Settings and all is fixed. That feature has allowed me to customize several other features of the site as well.
Support response is usually very good. All very amazing for a free theme!

Was enthusiastic about Mantra but after update 3.01 (tried 3.02 a day later), site no longer appears properly on mobile devices like Windows Phone and Andriod.
I would have given four stars but all settings were also overwritten and had to reset everything.
And still not good working on telephone ??

After test driving the free theme, we payed for the premium theme.
The Mantra theme is very nice, multifunctional and the support is great.

They may say they don’t know when the next update is…but they definitely support this theme. Every time I’ve asked they have come through professionally. My most recent request was to put TripAdvisor on the Social Icon bar. Although they did not update the entire theme, they did update mine and I am grateful.

I had some issues since I installed this theme and put it down at support forum. But nobody answered about it.
I visited their own website and found they even do not answer at support forum there. What I guess is that they only answer for the premium users. It sucks. I have used various themes, and most of them responses pretty well. Mantra theme function might be good, but if they do not support then it is not worthy anymore.

So far this theme works great. Checking the forums and reading the authors site he offers no support except if you pay for it.

I have been using this theme for less than a day and already encountered many bugs that do not allow the theme to perform like it was designed to do.
I have reached out for help on the forums and as other have said, the help is very slow.
Rating: 5 stars

Two days ago, I bought a .com extension for my Blog. I was going to buy a wordpress theme because I was frustrated with the available options. I found Mantra theme by chance. I was amazed by the “200 customization” options that it allows. I now have a “presentation page” in which I could finally create three sections for the posts I publish in Arabic, English, and German.
Since yesterday, the only problem I found is that for two times, the settings for the presentation page were changed spontaneously. I do not know if the theme or I was the reason.

I own multiple themes…some of them work, some of them don’t do what they promise, and some of the “flexible” themes don’t let you edit them.
I own several websites, and all I can say is that when I totally get frustrated with a new theme, I ALWAYS go back to my Mantra. It’s simply the best, most flexible, most customizeable theme there is.
After 4 frustrating hours trying to make a theme do what it said it would today, a theme for which I paid a lot of money, I went to my Mantra, and had the site up and running, fresh and new in an hour. You just can’t beat Mantra.
THANK YOU! Kelli Roig RN

Responsivity also works very well.

I tried the woocommerce plugin with it even though there was a message saying that it might not be compartible, but it is working pretty well so far, specially since I really don’t know what I am doing. I Read the kvetching about the sliders but I have not tried them yet. I was using Weaver II( which I think is great) but for some reason I kept getting things showing up where they were not supposed towhen I started using woocommerce

First off, this is a really cool theme but it just doesn’t work well. I have the content slider set for Recent Posts and while it shows the post info on each transition, it doesn’t show any images. I have tried to figure it out on my own and I have posted FIVE times to their support forum and not once got a reply that was the least bit helpful. If this is the kind of support they offer then these folks will not be getting any money from me. If what they are implying is that they don’t give you good support unless you pay them, DON’T MAKE IT A FREE THEME.
It’s really sad because I really like this theme but because of my terrible experience with their support, I would NEVER recommend any themes by this company to anyone.

I love the theme however, I would like to be able to recieve help faster. I wrote in the forum 2 days ago and only received an answer from someone who looked like they where actually trying to ping-pong me. Started saying I had posted to other themes when I’m asking on a single theme. If help was available as fast as one gets help from other themes, this would definetly be a 5 star. Right now, I have about 5 things I want to do and no help whatsoever.

Great theme that has complete options like what a paid theme has! Keep it up! Try and you’ll be satisfied. plus great userfriendly interface! Thanks!
]]>Rating: 5 stars
It has all kinds of customizable settings and an export button to back them up and an import button to reload them if they change on an upgrade. The last couple of upgrades didn’t lose my settings, so even though I saved them, I didn’t need to import them again.
I could change colors, banner, layout, and more. I can add css without creating a child theme and add javascript. There are lots of widget options, too.
Support has also been great so far!
