 * The default value of check box does not apply in backend.
 * Note: with pressing reset button this issue does not appear and it happens when
   new option is created by checkbox. Your support is highly appreciated in this
   regard.

 * Hey there!
 * Could you please test this using the under development version from [https://github.com/aristath/kirki](https://github.com/aristath/kirki)
   and let me know if that fixes your issue?

 * Also could you please tell me how you’re trying to get the value?
    Is it using
   get_theme_mod? Did you define a default value in your get_theme_mod call?

 * Hey Aristeides Stathopoulos,
 * I am using kirki-demo to examine this issue and also I use Reset WP plugin to
   reset the theme to run default values of customizer.
 * By activating the kirki-demo theme and going to Appearance> customize > checkbox
   controls >checkbox demo (first filed) the checkbox displays true default value
   correctly but if you check function.php and set default value of this element
   on => false , 0 or ‘0’ as you’ll see the default value does not change and stays
   true.
 * Thanks.
