DP Evolve – Discontinued Theme?

  • I’ve been using the DP Evolve Theme for several years on my website. Recent WordPress updates have caused a blip on one of the main menu tabs (the only one that isn’t a page in its own right), only solved by rolling back to before the WordPress update. I’ve reordered the menu to see if I can get round this for now but, in the longer term:

    1. It’s not showing as a retired theme at all even though when you follow the link to the website (Dynamic Press) it looks like they’ve disappeared
    2. Can anyone recommend a similar theme to avoid a major overhaul of the site if we replace the theme
    3. Can someone advise how likely we are to have continuing problems if we stick with a theme that is probably not going to get updated
    4. Can WordPress advise other users about this theme?

  • Hi @janecls

    Themes are always a sensitive topic. It’s hard to give some good advice on this matter, because the forum can’t really provide any support on specific themes – we always refer to the theme-developers support forum (either on www.remarpro.com or if they have their own).

    This might be a good time for you to invest some time in “updating” your site. If the theme is discontinued, it’s only a matter of time before more stuff starts crashing. It’s not always because of WP core or plugin updated – it might as well be a PHP update. Therefore, the best advice from me would be to look for a well-documented and maintained theme, that fullfills your needs.

    There are a lot of different marketplaces out there – and if you’re not willing to pay, you can have a look in the WordPress theme directory – there are a lot of good themes there too. I know it’s not the answer you’re looking for, but truth be told, this is the best advice I can give you.

    I hope you’ll figure it out.

    Thank you @kuckovic ??

    Maybe not the answer I was looking for but one I was half expecting and preparing for. Just wondering how to find a close match to what we’ve got. We’ve tweaked it quite a bit recently, it works well for us now (with a couple of minor exception) and we’re not looking for any major changes or new bells and whistles – just quality, reliability, stability and user friendliness.

    Hi @janecls

    Well – maybe you can find someone who can help you maintain the theme then.
    Sometimes it’s just a minor fix – but sadly it’s not always like that.

    If you need to find a suitable developer, you could post a job on the WP Job board: https://jobs.wordpress.net/ – I really hope you’ll figure out what’s best to do here ??

    I’m cheering for you!
