Not a free theme
-
I’m fed up with developers releasing free versions of their themes just to trick you into installing, then littering the admin pages with countless invitations to upgrade to the premium version just so you can actually get the theme to do anything useful. “Vantage is responsive to the very last pixel?” sounds good, until you go to the menu settings and discover there’s no responsive menu in the free version!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against premium themes and I’ve used them before, but when I want to purchase a premium theme I go and look for it on a premium theme directory like Theme Forest, not on the WP directory where I can find thousands of genuinely free – and fully responsive – themes.
What annoys me is that every time I get tricked into installing a theme that’s been purposely crippled, I am wasting a lot of valuable time looking at demos, installing, going into the settings, seeing the limitations and then uninstalling again.
Please be clear and transparent about the limitations of your free version ON YOUR DEMO PAGES or keep getting 1 star reviews!
