After using KLEO for 2 years, we have decided to move on. The activity posts have a very limited editor and no spell check. After posting, it’s a pain to fix what has been posted. It’s just slow and weak.
I bought this theme a week ago and have been trying to reach SeventhQueen for support to resolve my issue, but I got no response. Whenever I try to import their built-in demos, it gets stuck halfway and freezes. I tried many times but got the same result.
Poor designs, poor demos, and not enough features for a community website.
Too many bugs. I have not been able to get theme options to update saved changes for over a year. Customer service requests $41 to renew support to fix a bug. Once they have your money, the customer service plummets.
Great design for BP. Compatible with the BuddyBoss Platform.
They offer no support, site often breaks when their required plugins are updated, and there are way too many of them which slows down the site. This theme is a nightmare and there has been no support for it, even though you pay for it. Stay away.
Full of bugs when trying to install now. The menus do not import with some of the demo content.
Over the past ten months, I’ve been undertaking the endeavor of creating a platform using BuddyPress, Dokan, and the Kleo theme. Truthfully, I tried many routes before Kleo but Kleo was the absolute winner. There are a few serious problems though, and if they were resolved, I’d recommend this theme to everyone.
Pros – Documentation exists but is hit or miss. Updates slowed down but support seemed to be good.
Cons – Lack of preparation for WooCommerce-based websites through Kleo. If you use third-party plugins that rely on the Kleo Theme’s CSS, expect problems. Some examples include Dokan’s vendor dashboard and the My Account & Product Info Tabs. You will need knowledge of CSS or find a paid alternative.
TL;DR Summary: I love this theme; it’s incredible the amount of work and support that has been put in. The problems are relevant to everyone with e-Commerce on their sites.
Beautiful theme, full of features, great design, and above all, I like the support team. They replied fast and were very helpful. Truly recommended!
