Looking for documentation for Layla Theme

    I recently started a new website. I chose the Layla theme because it best suited my needs.

    I had a few questions, went looking for documentation and support for this theme. I ended up on the SmartCat website first and couldn’t find anything that referenced the Layla theme. I did find the support forums on WordPress org forums.

    I don’t want to invest a lot of time into this theme if it’s not going to be supported and new versions won’t be forthcoming.

    Can you please let me know the status of this theme for SmartCat? Should I look at another theme?

  • My understanding from a friend who has used WordPress a lot more than I have (I’m new to this) is that the free themes are usually lacking in documentation and support to some extent. Layla is also really new, so there doesn’t even seem to be much support on this message board because not too many people are using yet I guess.

    Maybe you can look at older Smartcat themes and see how well supported (or not) they are to give you some idea of how this one will go. For a free theme, it has a lot of customization, so that’s why I chose it.

    Thanks for the information clairegs.

    I agree, but I don’t want to get a few months down the road with several WordPress upgrades and have a site not secure or running properly.

    I don’t mind paying.. if I had that option.

    I sent a query via SmartCat website inquiry about Layla support. Here is their answer.

    Hi there

    Thanks so much for your feedback. Glad to hear you’re liking the Layla theme.

    Currently, Layla is supported through the WordPress support forum. Our developers do regularly visit this forum to monitor for bugs and assist in the WordPress community.

    If you’d like to enlist the support of a developer more directly, we do offer paid Support through our Support Plus program. Support Plus rates start at $30 and are invoiced hourly. If you’re interested in this, please let me know.

    We’re currently working on a Pro version of the Layla theme which will include 6 months for support through our Support Helpdesk. Make sure you’re registered for our newsletter to receive updates when this theme is released, as well as to receive monthly discount codes for Pro theme and plugin purchases.

    Have a great day!

    Follow up conversation: This is really great to know.

    Is there somewhere we can make recommendations for when it goes Pro?

    You can send us your feedback here, or post it on the WordPress forums which might encourage other users to contribute as well.

    Thanks for posting this. I was wondering if they’d offer a pro version. I have to say though, that it doesn’t seem like their developers visit the forum much, if at all. Or if they do, they don’t answer anything. Even answering that the functionality isn’t available in the theme would be helpful. Or that they’re adding a feature to do that. Or anything really to let us know someone is out there listening to these questions.
