Neve 3.3.0 bug and copyright

Hi @arskrigitsioniets,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

Could you please share a thread where duplicated dates were reported so we can take a look? I check your profile but I don’t see an issue reported, maybe it was reported by someone else.

You’re right about the 2nd point, the copyright label is not removable with the free version of the theme giving credit to the theme developers and it could be disabled with the PRO version.

Once again, we appreciate your feedback.

Hey @arskrigitsioniets,

Thank you for taking the time to write the review.

The issue with the two dates being displayed was fixed in version 3.3.1 released today.

I hope this will help. Best regards,
Stefan

I add 2 stars to the score. But I still think that the copyright label, i.e. cutting previously free options and make them paid, it’s a very poor practice. If you think that you can just cut something that was free and make it paid and more than 300,000 users say nothing, you are mistaken. It tells about that any other option of your theme someday may also become paid. Please, never make decisions like that if you want to get positive reviews.

Hello @arskrigitsioniets ,

Thank you for your feedback!

We understand your point of view and we respect it. Indeed such practices are not desired and we are doing our best to avoid them, however, sometimes they are needed if we want the product to keep evolving.

Please keep in mind that Neve is a customer-funded project and sometimes we need the support of our users too. We have tried and we are still trying to make Neve available both to free and paid users without affecting the free users too much as the community is important to us.

With that in mind we have decided that if you want to update to the newer version, you’ll either have to get the premium version to get the functionality or accept that some features would be missing. Alternatively, you’re free to continue to use the 3.2.x version for as long as you want.

If you think that Neve PRO does not provide enough value to buy it, I do understand but with the support of those that will do we hope to increase the value over time thru new features to make it worth it for you too.

Thank you for understanding and have a great day ahead!
