Good theme. Spamy tactics
-
The theme is beautiful. Love the flexibility to add widgets in the header. A must if you promote affiliate products. Pages score an “A” on GTMetrix.com.
So why the 3 star rating?
Because they put what seems to be links to their help page only to be sent to Fiveer so they can charge you to fix little things that shouldn’t even be a problem.
For example. Add the search widget to the sidebar. Instead of the help text being blank or saying something like “search”, it says “landingpagesy”. Instead of the search button saying “search”, it says “pageasy”.
So your users won’t know what to do. To fix it, you can upgrade to the pro theme or pay them on Fiveer.
However, if you know what you’re doing, you can go in and manually fix these simple things yourself. If you don’t know what you’re doing or where to look to fix it, you’ll probably have to pay for pro.
I don’t have a problem paying for themes to get more functionality. I’ve paid for a number of them. But don’t do stupid stuff that shouldn’t even be there (like what’s done to the search widget) to frighten/coerce people into upgrading the theme or getting Fiveer gigs (when they’ll probably try to upsell you on something else for your website).
