 * Thank you for sharing such a good theme which I have been using it to develop
   about 20 or more corporate websites with Constructor Theme.
 * However, I wish to highlight to you my misfortune on Good Friday today which 
   had turned out to be Black Friday to me because I have 10 websites with Constructor
   Theme were hacked.
 * The symptoms as follow:
    1. The wp-login username was changed to ‘admin’, irregardless how many different/
       unique usernames;
    2. The wp-login password had become clear text;
    3. Blank email address causing unable to send password-reset email.
    4. All these 10 hacked websites resided in the same account in a single shared 
       hosting server.
    5. Based on the server log, the hacking entry was this theme. Appreciate if you
       can have a re-look on the design of the theme because I am not good at coding
       so that the loophole(s) can be blocked.
    6. Hope to see the next version with more security features included as soon as
       possible.
