Hello,
I really like your business model and the “cleanisness” of all your themes and plugins. I definetlly plan on supporting you effort to provide great user friendly to those who maybe new and/or cannot afford paying huge membership fees for great WordPress products.
My question is, I have been using genesis framework and child themes. It is my understanding Frameworks are the way to go so your website does not get messed up by updates and can do custom CSS and theme edits easier . . I have been using Genesis, cobaltapps Themes and plugins for genesis (see link below) to do custoum edits to CSS and themes.
Is that still the case in this day in age of latest wordpress development?
How does your Themes handle this? Thanks again for providing you products and support.
A liitle info about me: I found this site looking for best solotion for using drag adn drop short codes to create awesome linking pages, especially for lead generation landing page and sales of products and services I will offer in future. Looks like we may have a winner here!
Also what is there anything different in the premium version of you plugins and themes?
Is there an edit post option after submitting? What forum platform are you using?
Hi Gen
Thanks for your positive feedback.
If you need to make small edits to a theme’s styling, edits that aren’t covered by theme options, then Custom CSS is the way to go. That can be done via Appearance > Custom CSS in our premium themes or by using your own Custom CSS plugin like Simple Custom CSS or the Custom CSS module in Jetpack. In the event that you need to edit the code in theme files you’ll then need to use a child theme. During theme updates the theme is overwritten, this is why a child theme is required. Whether a theme was built using a framework or not, this still applies.
All of our plugins, including Page Builder, are free to use. We offer a premium upgrade for some of our themes, others the premium upgrade is free in exchange for a newsletter signup.
We’re using a custom forum system. At this stage threads unfortunately can’t be edited after creation.
Thanks. found my post by clicking Gen tag. Have you consider using buddypress forums for threaded content and ability to edit post? Thanks
Glad to hear it. We’re running a custom system developed using Gravity Forms. We wanted something super lightweight so I’m sure over time we’ll move towards the functionality of BuddyPress. Thanks for hanging in there.
