You can stop looking for other themes now…

  • This theme was suggested to me on a Facebook developer group I belong to as a starter theme or bare bones framework. It’s more than that, and unlike a lot of other themes out there, it is not bloated with things you’ll never use. You can activate only the features you plan to use.

    For what you get, you cannot beat the $39 asking price. This isn’t for a single site license; this is for as many sites, personal, hobby, or client sites, as you want.

    The site is well-coded with lots of CSS classes so you can easily customize the site to your heart’s content. The array of customization available, coupled with the fact that you can turn on only those features you plan to use, makes this a theme for all! I would have LOVED to give this theme 5 stars.

    But now, here’s why I gave it only 4 stars.

    I ran into a bit of trouble trying to figure out why in only one instance (a testament to how easy to use the theme is was that I’d spent the past weekend moving four sites to GeneratePress, all without a hitch), one of my site’s page headers were not displaying. Through the support forum I figured out there was one area of customization where I did not activate the featured image and that’s why they refused to load. But help was rendered quickly. I do believe that like tasks (such as determining where a page header will appear) should be in one place, not scattered across several places, making it difficult sometimes to troubleshot the problem.

    But other than that, which the developer may want to rethink as he moves forward improving and building on this fantastic theme, I would not hesitate to recommend this theme not only to fellow web developers, but to all the hobbyists and do-it-yourselfers out there.

    Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a great review, I really appreciate it! ??

    As for the issue you had – all of the featured image options are located in one specific area: Customize > Layout > Blog

    You can see more about those options here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adjusting-the-featured-images/

    Are there any specific options you felt should have been in the same area, instead of somewhere else? We work really hard to make the options as intuitive as possible. If you felt some of the other options were scattered across several places, I would love to know which ones so I can fix it.

    You did mention Page Headers, which are separate from featured images. Page Headers include content, and are much more advanced than simple featured images. Those options are set in Customize > Layout > Page Headers. Perhaps we need to explain the difference more clearly in our documentation.

    Thank you again for all your feedback! Really glad you’re enjoying the theme ??
