Theme instructions tell me there should be an option there isn't.

    Hi everyone,

    I’m attempting to use ‘deepfocus’ by elegantThemes. The directions have proven to be old (and incorrect), and the support forum on their site hasn’t been any help yet.

    I’m hoping this is a common issue and you can help me. Here’s the piece of the instructions which are killing me… the issue is in bold:

    Finally, once the theme has been activated, you should navigate to the Appearances > DeepFocus Theme Options page. Here you can adjust settings pertaining to theme’s display. Once you have adjusted whatever settings you would like to change click the “save” button.

    Under ‘APPEARANCE” I have:
    -Themes
    -Widgets
    -Editor

    There is NO “DeepFocus Theme Options” link and ‘editor’ brings me to a huge wall of html which could be edited, for for the Love of God… there MUST be something missing here. ??

    Thank you,

    James, Seattle

    where did you get the theme from as I just checked it is not in repository

    I actually purchased it from https://www.elegantthemes.com/preview/DeepFocus/

    I’m trying to set it up on my JustHost.com webpage, but so far it’s been very, very difficult… mostly because I’ve never worked with wordpress before.

    Thanks,

    James

    if you’ve purchases it then the best place to go for support is their forums.

    Sigh.

    My original post said THEY aren’t helping… and here you’re saying go there.

    I just want to know why the items under my WORDPRESS dashboard only have three things.

    If you as a moderator are telling me to go get help where help is not forthcoming, what do you suggest I do?

    If you paid for this theme and it’s a theme issue, then I would think that they have an obligation to assist you.

    @james – the only way that anyone can help anywhere else is if they have a full copy of the theme. As it’s a paid for theme the only place that you can be guaranteed of this is their support forums. Whether it be from them, or other users of the theme.

    It would be impractical to get code pasted into the pastebin, as the code is likely to be in more than one file.

    So if they aren’t helping do as esmi suggests and ask for a refund, that may spark them into action.
