I’ve been trying to fix some issues with my website, via WordPress Facebook groups, google search etc… Then I went to the catchthemes support forum, posted my issue, Skandha responded quickly, posted the simple css code, I copied and pasted, FIXED in less than 5 minutes! I posted another issue since this one went so well, and again, with his SIMPLE and clear instructions.. my problem was fixed in less than 5 minutes.
I love this theme, I get a LOT of compliments and now I love the theme support!
