Perfect Design and Great Support

Very good job

by sorianogab·2 years ago

Easy to use, and very nice and elegant design. Congrats.

not “free” and I don’t like being nagged for payment

by janelwashere·3 years ago

I liked the theme, but I can’t handle “Hi there, you’ve been using Fairy for quite a while now” first thing at the top of my dashboard every time I log in.

Support says that the message can be removed, but they don’t say how. I asked twice before giving up and changing my review.

I had been happy with Fairy but now I have to start over again shopping for a theme, and customizing, so it turned out to be nothing but a waste of time.

Was working till it broke

by bennettheyn·4 years ago

It worked for 6 months but it broke last week and I couldn’t fix it. It showed a blank white screen and I was not able to get any support. I added a google adsense code to the website which completely broke it. Would love help fixing that..
