Hi, thank you for the mediocre review. This theme, it really is a joke isn’t it. Garbage, trash, rubbish, nonsense, hokum, hogwash, mediocre even.
I mean, it’s not like it is really easy to translate the theme strings such as “Read More” in seconds with Loco Translate for example, or the fact that if it wasn’t translateable it wouldn’t even have passed the theme review process: https://make.ww.wp.xz.cn/themes/handbook/review/required/#language
It’s not even like one can help contribute to translating it into erm… say Spanish for instance, not only for ones own benefit but for the benefit of others too.
Child themes! Bah who needs those eh?? Oh wait, this theme is child theme friendly as again it wouldn’t pass the theme review process if it wasn’t: https://make.ww.wp.xz.cn/themes/handbook/review/required/#core-functionality-and-features
Of course, you do not have to use it again as there are plenty of other themes available to use free of charge too. See here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/themes/
Just be very careful not to use another mediocre theme for your client(s) again, as they are very important and should be treated better than gold. I certainly would never use (nor continue to use) a mediocre theme for a client’s site simply because “it’s already gone far”.
Thanks again for the wise words.
Hello again,
I don´t think that this kind of response is going to help your theme much. There are ways to say what you have said without the sarcasm. You should be prepared to receive not only excellent reviews. A little humbleness usually gets you further in life. I am sorry that my feedback has not helped and, much on the contrary, has not gone down well.
If I mention the translations it is because in most of the themes I have used before it is not necessary to install plugins as you mention. With regards to the Child Theme, I never said that your theme isn´t child theme friendly, so I don´t understand the fuss.
In any case, I appreciate you taking the time to reply and your wise advice. You have convinced me to use a different theme for my customer as she certainly deserves better.
I wish you much success in all your future projects
It is not necessary to install plugins to translate the theme. This was never said by me. I was merely pointing out one of the ways that theme strings can be translated quickly and easily. There are other ways also.
You do not need to copy a whole file (customizer.php in your case) from the theme just to translate one text string. That is not the correct way to go about it. If you had asked in the support forum, how to translate ‘Read More’ into Spanish I would have been more than happy to help. You instead decided that it cannot be done and proceeded to write a review containing inaccurate information
Negative reviews I am prepared to accept and I welcome them too, as it is very helpful to receive less than positive reviews.
But when a review is inaccurate, that is unfair I feel. I am even prepared to accept unfair reviews if there seems to be point to the unfairness, but I see no obvious point. You haven’t educated or informed anyone with any valid or accurate points.
You have been misleading in leading users to feel that the theme cannot be translated nor be used with a child theme, when this is very untrue.
My response was meant to be ironic and light hearted and yes sarcastic too, which can be funny or amusing sometimes. Sometimes not also… anyway no harm done.
