Thoughts on “Fluxus Theme Review”

  1. The developer has abandoned this theme, offering no support to paying customers or updates in the past two years. Stay away. Spend your money on a theme that actually gets support.

    The theme is not updated. The developer is a ghost. It was great a few years ago, but I would go with something modern that gets updates regularly and support.

    I purchased the license some years ago, and I’ve always been happy with this theme. After the update to v1.83, the homepage no longer shows the full-page slideshow. This is not a minor bug. And no answers from the developers. I’m disappointed.

    After upgrading to 1.7, the site stopped working and there is no support for this.

  2. This theme is great and has been continuously updated, leaving little reason to buy another template. The author’s responses to questions in the comment section have been helpful in figuring out many things. Designs are great and the theme is very flexible with a lot of features. General feeling about Fluxus is great; the theme is functional and support from the author is adequate. For the duration of my usage of the website, it was amazing and I highly recommend it.

  3. Pleasant design, but REALLY needs updating to allow Jetpack options for blog galleries. When you upload photos they are shown LAST in the portfolio so you keep seeing the old photos over and over again.

    I love this theme! It’s nice and clean and does everything I want it to do. I could also customize it to my personal preferences pretty easily. Most of my questions got answered by reading the online documentation or searching for subjects in the discussion on this page.

    Although it is a lovely theme and well built, it hasn’t been updated since April. The support offered for this theme is almost zero or comes very late. There are questions that are replied in 1-2 months’ time. Have a close look through the comments.

  4. Hello, the handling of the business is quite annoying. The access to updates is misleading and the documentation is exhausting. Unfortunately, the update is chargeable. My overall experience with the Envarto platform has not been good.

    There is no customer support which is kind of a scam because you inevitably run into a question or two when you customise the theme.

    The developer has abandoned this theme, offering no support to paying customers. It used to be a solid theme, now it’s just a waste of money. Stay away. Spend your money on a theme that actually gets support. Sticky scroll does not work in newer versions.

    There has been a problem with the display of images in horizontal portfolios when using safari on mac or any browser on ipad. There has been no attempt to fix this. I definitely would not recommend. It will take a huge amount of work for me to rebuild my website with a theme that works proper. This issue ruins it.

  5. There’s so many limitations to how I can customize my website, I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to find ways to work around it. And even then, I feel like I have to jump through hoops just to make any minor adjustments.

    Support is non-responsive. I had a technical issue and sent several messages, and received no replies. Support was helpful in the first weeks, then later I could not reach it even once.

    Really pretty, a bit of a hassle to set up initially but the documentation is very well done.

    Great theme that offers a lot of options to customize it while being simple to set up.

    Awesome template. One of the best I ever bought to work on one of my websites.

  6. Broken theme, does not work with WordPress. There is a serious problem with the display of images and the function of the slider. The support does not react and does not promise an update to fix the problem. Unfortunately, many other users already describe the same problem and advise against a purchase. This theme is fine in 5.x versions of PHP, but does not work in 7.0 or above. I am sad that I must remove it and start over with my site. I started working for a client who uses this theme, it’s got too many bugs and he blames me for it. Sometimes the functionality (order of images for instance) changes without my interference. Now it only shows 1 to 2 images per project while all images are set to published. I would never recommend this theme to anyone.
