Is this theme really ready for use?

[zero]

As a buyer who decided the lack of CDN functionality, random images not loading, conflicts with plugins and the constant bugs of this theme were too much to deal with on a professional working website... i decided on another solution over at https://forever1995.com. Wasted many weeks of time though.

I've been popping in and out of this forum weekly and amazed at the non stop problems with this theme, your plugins, the updates and the non stop bugs. It's staggering. In the 20 years i've been involved with wordpress and the community i've never seen so many issues with a paid theme and plugins.

Seriously guys, is this theme and your plugins really ready for sale yet? Ethically, do you feel it's appropriate to sell the theme even though, you know it does not work properly?

Using the Lay Grid plugin fixed my issues for a while, but low and behold, there are now bugs, slow downs, and more bugs after your bug fixing. It's very frustrating.

I'm really interested in how you can sell a product that does not work and waste peoples time with a lack of transparency, and focus on a project that clearly is not getting the attention it deserves.

Thoughts? Meanwhile i wait for yet another fix to fix a problem and look forward to the issues that causes...... like many others.

Hi Paul,

well,… I’ve been using Lay myself and see it as a very flexible theme – I never was a fan of themes really – Custom code always seemed like a better solution.
Lay Theme fixed that for me because it’s so flexible and not stuck with a website-genre. Of course you may need to write some code if you have something special in mind. But since you are then writing code for a special idea it keeps things lean and doesn’t bloat the backend with features no one ever really needs and makes the frontend super slow because of that.

I see this forum more like a workgroup. A place to ask a question and describe your idea and get some hints in the right directions. The community here is very friendly and nice. Marius and Armin are doing their very best to answer any question.

If you had something very particular in mind and weren’t able to accomplish that with lay and the help of this forum the possibility that you should have settled with another theme or service is pretty high. (and there are dozens out there)

I’m in no way affiliated with laytheme – I’m just a happy customer and one of the guys who uses this forum on a regular basis trying to help, learn and keep the positive vibes here.

Please don’t just hate! The internet is filled to the brim with bitter people just bashing and hating things. Be nice and tell us what exactly went wrong, what it is you want to achive and I’m sure you will get the help you need and deserve.
