The Review

Why did you remove this theme?

This theme has been retired and is no longer for sale. If you have an active support license you can still receive support, but you will not be able to renew your support license once it expires.

The reason the theme has been retired is because the ThemeForest sales model has opted for users to pay for support licenses rather than a yearly theme license (like most WordPress theme companies do), this means the sales do not cover the costs of continued development. 

I know this can be frustrating if you have a site using this theme, but this is the same with any theme or product. For example, when you buy an iPhone, after a few years, Apple will discontinue making that product and stop offering support for it so they can focus on their newer products. 

When you buy a theme in particular, you're not buying unlimited updates and life long support, you're buying the product you see there and then and always assume that it can be removed from sale at any time.



What do I do now? 

So if you're using this theme on your website and don't know what to do, here's my recommendations:

The theme itself should be fully compatible with future WordPress updates. Very rarely do minor updates cause theme issues and in most cases major WordPress updates should be fine to. So you should be able to continue to use the theme without any problems for years to come. 

If you do run into compatibility issues or bugs with the theme and no longer have a support license you will need to look for a developer who can fix these issues. I refer people to my developers, OurWebMedia, who you can contact here.

If you're about to use the theme and not sure whether to do so, if you're willing to pay for a developer to help you with any issues then go ahead and use it. Otherwise I would recommend using another theme.

The Review theme is fully compatible with the Gauge and Huber themes that I sell, but these may also be discontinued shortly. However I am working on a new review theme which will have all the features of The Review theme, but may not be fully compatible with it, so you existing reviews may not work with the new theme. This theme will likely to be released within 4-6 months. So you have the option of waiting until this theme is released and using this instead.




I want to continue to use the theme, but need the latest verison?

If you didn't download the latest version before the theme was removed, you can contact me at here (make sure you're logged into the account that purchased the theme) and I'll give you the latest version of the theme.



Can I get a refund?

If you bought the theme within the 6 months I can issue you with a refund. To request a refund please click here.
