@rosyteddy I’d recommended giving RtMedia another try. I would not say it’s dated and I’m very impressed with their feature set and the development of the plugin over the last year or so 🙂

Thanks for adding that Chris. Personally I’d never go with shared hosting, but maybe there are exceptions to the rule. If you ever want to share your experiences in more details I’d love to cover it on BP-Tricks!

Bowe posted on the forum topic LIVE THEME – Themes in the group Third Party Components & Plugins 13 years, 5 months ago

I think this sort of an approach to selling themes is a bit too vague for potential customers. I think pretty much all people would like to purchase/use a theme that is working out of the box and has some support and guarantees. […]

I have another question about templating though; 1: Using get_template instead of locate template Is there a reason why locate template is used […]
