My apologies. I was under the impression that “MH Elegance lite is an elegant and fully responsive multi-purpose WordPress theme which is perfectly suitable for professional business and corporate websites or high-class blogs.”

If it’s not suitable for blogs, you *really* should change the very first sentence in the theme’s description so it doesn’t flat out say that it *is* suitable for blogs, when you don’t believe that it is. I was simply trusting your company’s word that it is suitable for what you say it’s suitable for. Shame on me?

I’ve already put in quite a number of hours into customizing the theme for my purposes and aesthetics. I left customization of how the blog posts displayed for near last because, having never been forced into a specific display with themes suitable for blogs before, I assumed it wouldn’t be a difficult fix.

To be frank, I had planned on purchasing the full version, because there are a number of things offered that I thought would be worthwhile for me (and because, as a creative type, I believe strongly that people should be paid for their work). But I will likely, instead, take your perhaps excellent advice and find a theme that is suitable for blogs, or at least, hope if they say it’s suitable for blogs, that it really is.

Thank you for your time.

Thanks for the fast response!

So, to be clear, the theme is going to force me to always use a featured picture in every post because that is how it must display posts on the main page? And it won’t display anything but the excerpt? So the main page doesn’t have any customization beyond changing fonts/colors? It must display this way?

That just seems really counter-intuitive. I’m not talking about an archive page. I’m talking about the page you’re shown when you type in the website. I’m forced to use an archive page as my landing page. There’s no work-around to that?

I’ve never actually seen that in a theme, where you’re forced to use a certain format on your landing page if you want to display your blog posts rather than a gallery. The default I’ve seen is usually chronological blog posts and if you want to do it differently, you can alter the look or the number of posts or whether you want excerpts or not. I’m sort of taken aback that it’s the opposite here. That I’m forced to use this archive format on my main page and can’t make any changes to it beyond aesthetic changes. That seems to be what you’re saying. Is that right?
