Prestashop themes and modules quality is going worst

[Miquelmartinez]

Since long time ago, I has been developing ecommerces in prestashop (and other platforms) and something needs to be said:  Paid themes and modules are getting low quality, higher price everyday.

 

Its totatly normal latelly to have

 

Paid themes that doesnt work properly, or have modules on it from 4 years ago with security bugs (but theme has been updated on last days...) .

Multiple modules that by default doesnt work in prestashop 8.1 (but they are announced as they should work).

Themes installed that throws deprecated php instances over php 8.1 (to be honest, prestashop should upgrade to 8.2-8.3 before the EOL)

Themes inheriting from posthemes that are copycats between them: same demos, same files, diferent names.

Suport that only ask for ftp and login/password to access instean ask for information (its not only a bad practice. With the poor quality of their product after paying 60-70-80€ for them and crash, they ask you to have full access to your development shop to "solve" the problem.

 

Prestashop members and prestashop community should say "stop" . Its totatlly normal the trustness of this platform is getting lower and lower: On last 2 weeks, we started 3 projects on prestashop and none of the modules installed worked as intended, and all of them in one or other way launches errors in screen or logs.....

 

I know this message will be filtered, but at least the prestashop moderators should think about whats happening and why people are trusting in worst platforms only because the theme creators are pure greed people with a fake/scam products. (not all of them, but a lot of them for sure)

S!
