Excellent support!!!

by mamm7215·3 years ago

I upgraded to pro for the Honeybee version and was sent a user/login but no account was set up and I can’t access any support or forums. I was sent a license key but no idea how to implement it.
Update: Because of the time change from India to Canada it took a bit for the developer to get back to me. Once I got them the details of my issues Priyanshu took care of it quickly.
Very happy with the service. I actually tried a few other themes in the meantime and like using the Honeypress Pro more than almost all the others I tried.
Very attractive and useful theme
I tried several themes out for my new website but kept coming back to Honeypress Pro. I use the Honeybee variant. I’m overall very satisfied with the Theme. The customizer is very good, and there are some helpful tutorials as well.

Disappointing for a paid Theme

by gcurk·4 years ago

First of all the theme is nice. But that’s it. You need an extra Plugin to change the header image and you have to change it for every site, product, article etc. That’s not 2022, that’s 1999. Responsive? You can’t define font sizes for web and mobile, no it’s all the same which makes the mobile view looks bad esp. the headlines which are way to big and you can’t change them. Also you can’t specify link and hover colors in typography settings for standard text. You also can’t change the look of the buttons. And lots and lots and lots more bugs and missing settings. And last but not least it does not work with Elementor, well at least the demo pages don’t. Buying this theme was a waste of money, Blocksy gives you more in the free version of the theme than Honeypress in the paid Pro version. Really sucks bigtime. I’m sure you can change a lot with custom CSS but when i buy a paid Pro theme I expect the developers to offer a wide variety of settings to make customization easy.

Update: All Headline on iOS Safari are displayed in Times, main font of the website is Open Sans. WTF?

H2 is 24px font size, h3 is 20px font sizes, but h3 is bigger than h2. W-T-F???

Crap theme and a complete waste of money.
