FAQ
Is the price of the item an one-time payment or a recurring one?
As with all items on ThemeForest, it is just one-time payment. This payment includes six months of support and access to updates for the lifetime of the item (meaning for as long as the item will be sold on ThemeForest). You can extend the support if needed.
What is included in the item support?
Item support includes help with theme-related issues or explanation of theme features. While the customization is not included, I usually help my customers with some simple CSS snippets if needed,
and provide some useful hints when it comes to the code customization. Please make sure to read through the theme documentation before reaching for a support, as it should answer most of your questions.
You can read this official article to learn more about the item support.
Can I use the theme on both staging/development site and the live one at the same time?
Yes, you can use the theme on as many staging/development sites as you like, in parallel with your live site. The only limitation is that a single license allows you to use the theme with only one final live site.
You can read more on licenses here.
How can I contact you privately?
You can use a contact form on my profile page to send me a private message.
Is the WPBakery Page Builder plugin included with the theme?
Yes, the bundled version of this plugin is included.
Can’t Decide Between the Wordbench,
the Pressville and the
TownPress?
If you are deciding for a theme for your municipality or local government website, all three of these themes will do a great job. They are built exactly for this!
When it comes to the list of features, all three themes are very similar. They are all bundled with essential LSVR plugins for events, directory listings, documents, notices, galleries and person directory (the Wordbench theme also come with some additional ones like FAQ and Testimonials). The backend of these themes is almost indistinguishable from each other. Same applies to the code quality.
They are very developer friendly, everything can be customized via a child theme. The biggest difference between all three is the design. So simply choose the one which would fit the style of your municipal website the best!
