 * Avoid this theme. Laden, bloated, intrusive, heavy on the server. You’ll be dunned
   by the theme owner, it has requirements to change the wordpress memory settings,
   it requires plugins beyond all sanity …the problems are too many to list. The
   size of the download should warn you, straight off. A friend installed this on
   his site, and I’m in process of trying to clean up the damage.

 * Hi CyberCobre,
 * Increase the WP Memory Limit is a **standard practice** in WordPress and you 
   find instructions also in the **official WordPress documentation** (Increasing
   memory allocated to PHP).
 * Here is the link:
    [https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php](https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php)**
   Try to run (any) the theme with low memory is a critical error. It is like try
   to run a car without fuel.
 * If you are a boat dealer, we recommend also use our boat dealer plugin.
 * We have hundreds of users, our theme works fine.
 * **Please, remove this bad review. It is not fair. Respect the work of other people.**
 * Cheers,
 * Bill

 * Wrong. Very few themes require this, and those which do are all heavy on the 
   server, use page builders which purposely store the website owner’s content input
   through them connected to the theme, which, if the theme is deactivated, then
   causes that content to disappear.

 * **If you deactivate our theme you don’t loose your content. You can do that. 
   Don’t worry about.**
 * Check your memory available.
 * Our theme check memory available. When the available memory is low, we alert 
   the admin **because work with low memory can damage the databases and also show
   blank screen.**
 * When you use a simple theme like twenty sixteen, the theme request no too much
   memory.
    Boat dealer theme have more features and request also boat dealer plugin.
   Then, needs more memory to work. **More features have the theme, more plugins
   you activate, more memory you need. ** Your server have the memory, take it. 
   Why run the site with low memory?
 * Default wordpress memory is only around 40M, is too low. We usually increase 
   this to 124M e sometimes 256M.
 * I know no too much themes take care this, **but we do.** We have also a function
   to increase the memory (make changes in wp-config.php file) for you for free.
   Before to make changes, we make a back up of the file (wp-config.php). You have
   option to restore the original wp-config.php if something go wrong.
 * **Also if you deactivate our theme, your wp-config.php is safe, we never touch
   them again and your are ready to work with a new theme.**
 * We have many themes and plugins. In wordpress and envato marketing. All ours 
   themes and plugins take care of the memory to avoid issues. **We have more than
   15.000 users and ours users like we take care this to avoid problems.**
