Quick Support to remove Google Fonts

by lukors·3 years ago

The Themes are using Google Fonts by default, which is not GDPR compliant by default, but they send me a plugin to strip the googlefonts out very quick

Free theme is total crap

by cbdh19·4 years ago·1 reply

Wow, what a maddening theme. Lots of text editor/editing issues. This them doesn’t seem able to display TRUE WP paragraph breaks correctly. Also, images will NOT align properly in the text no matter what one does. Incredibly maddening!

Support non-existant

by Developer for wordpress sites·4 years ago·2 replies

I have a problem with the product pages not displaying correctly in both the free and paid versions of Materialis ever since the last wordpress update. I have contacted the support and have been told that they won’t support the problem, won’t do anything to look at the page and supply me a fix, that I am stuck with it and if they get more complaints from more customers they may make an update, but it’s not guaranteed and there’s no eta if they were to. In so many words they made me understand that if I want a functioning theme, I must go to a totally different developer. Blown away by the lack of support especially with how much their website tries to sell you on their supposed great support. I won’t be renewing, and immediately am shopping for a better theme today so I can make some sales with my website.

Can’t change anything

Any Modification using the Customizer doesn’t produce any effect

Can’t change background for example.

Very customizable and great support

by amyjen2697·4 years ago

Been using this theme for several sites. It is easy to customize and whatever you can’t get exactly how you want, the support folks will send you additional CSS for.
