Before installing this plugin, can you tell me: – What is it good for? – Are there any disadvantages without installing it? * Greetings Jonny Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * [Dara Gudrun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dara-gudrun/) * (@dara-gudrun) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redux-framework-1/#post-6397944) * I need help: I tryed to install Redux Framework but I can’t activate this.

You will need to contact the developers of Evolve. They are the ones who made that icomoon-admin extension. 😉 * [Denzel Chia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denzel_chia/) * (@denzel_chia) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redux-framework-1/#post-6397994) * Hi, * You can use ftp, go to evolve/library/admin/redux-extensions/extensions/ and find the folder icomoon-admin. Delete the whole icomoon-admin folder and it’s files. That folder is for WordPress admin -> Theme Options menu icons only. * Alternatively, you can revert back to previous Evolve Theme version using the following download link.

You basically have access to that. * Also you get updates to the Redux Framework without having to have the Evolve authors update Evolve. 😉 * It won’t hurt you either way, it’s just a few more features with the plugin installed. 😛 * Thread Starter [jonnylander](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonnylander/) * (@jonnylander) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redux-framework-1/#post-6398061) * Thanks! * [janaglass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/janaglass/) * (@janaglass) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redux-framework-1/#post-6398076) * What kind of features does the Redux panel have that the customizer doesn’t. I’m still figuring the whole thing out, and I had the same question, but I want to know if it will help my site and what I want to do, or is it mostly for developers who know a lot of code? I know a little, but not sure if the Redux will help me out at all. * [Dōvy Paukstys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dovyp/) * (@dovyp) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redux-framework-1/#post-6398077) * Evolve already HAS Redux embedded within it. The issue is the WP.org repo doesn’t allow for themes to offer “panels.” If you install the Redux plugin, you will get updates for Redux that override the embedded version of Redux evolve has. * The panel that appears will be the same “fields” as in the customizer, but they’ll be in a panel format. * Either way you’re using Redux. It’s just do you want more options, or are you fine with just the customizer. 😉 * [terriecarlson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terriecarlson/) * (@terriecarlson) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redux-framework-1/#post-6398152) * I am still having an issue with the latest update (8/9/2015) on Evolve. I get the same type of error as previously posted: * “Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/www/htdocs/ w012d2b5/thanknet.de/wp-content/themes/evolve/library/admin/redux-extensions/ extensions/icomoon-admin/style.css/extension_style.css.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/www/htdocs/w012d2b5/:/tmp:/usr/bin:/www/htdocs/w012d2b5:/bin:/ usr/local/bin:/usr/share/php:/dev/urandom) in /www/htdocs/w012d2b5/thanknet.de/ wp-content/plugins/redux-framework/ReduxCore/inc/class.redux_api.php on line 514” * and so far only reverting back to 3.3.0 has fixed the problem for me. When I update I can’t even access the WP admin page, I have to reinstall the previous version from the back end. As recommended previously: * “Alternatively, you can revert back to previous Evolve Theme version using the following download link.
