Best choice ever
by happynaturaldog·2 years ago

Beautiful and simple

Even in its free version, Chosen offers enough tools to build a site with an elegant presence in mobile phones and desktops. There is a significant support to help us to bypass some free version limitations and let us confortable to make the transition to a paid version without stress. Ireally recommend the theme, specially for writers.
The best of best

Very thanks to Compete theme for such amazing minimalist WordPress themplate. I used a RTL version of this template and it’s the best. You don’t belive me, if I say my website performance in LightHouse audit all become green with score between 96 to 100. It’s the best template for any one that search for a very fast WordPress website. Again, Thank you Compete them and very thanks to Ben for full time support, although I used a free version.

The RTL feature needs to be improved by WordPress!

I’ve recently begun using the Chosen theme; it’s incredibly lovely and minimal; I adore it; however, there’s one thing I don’t like about it right now:
Writing Arabic worries me since the punctuation does not show up correctly; for instance, when I make a point at the conclusion of a sentence, the point shows up at the beginning of the phrase!
I hope the support considers the punctuation issue in Arabic.
I wish you all the best.
Update: The problem is with the WordPress text editor, not with the theme!
