Incompatibility with themes is common; expect no support when this occurs

wcallahan July 24, 2017 1 reply

We’ve tried both 2.5.x and 3.x versions of this product. To get either version to work with our Wordpress theme (a standard theme with some revisions to it), it required a custom workaround. A few weeks after building a custom workaround for the 2.5.x version, the 3.x version was released, replacing the 2.5.x version with a new/separate installation. This failed again, but requires a currently-unknown workaround to resolve. However, the only reason for the low rating is this: if you run into any issues at all attempting to install the product, expect no support whatsoever from the author.
