Dh42 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Just to give everyone a heads up. It looks like things are going downhill at Theme Forrest. It looks like anything will be approved these days, themes that do not work, that do not utilize PrestaShop's methods or security. They do not seem to have any validation process like the addons store, so I would recommend being very wary about purchasing themes from them until they clean up their act. This ones specifically is horrible, http://themeforest.net/item/love-fashion-responsive-prestashop-fashion-theme/10337022/comments It cannot be used on an existing shop since it does not use standard methods that PrestaShop has for installing themes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selectshop.at Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) +1. My speech since Theme Forest sells officially at Prestashop Addons.... !!! At theme forest only designers sells their themes, but not really Prestashop specialists. The one or the other "designer" is also developer for Prestashop, but this is not the rule !!! Have several customers getting the same problem with Theme Forest Themes. They are not according to Prestashop standards. So be careful, ask before here in forum for recommendation. Personally I can too not recommend these themes. Not for Prestashop bought on thier own platform, not on Prestashop Addons, and also not on themeforest or code canyon. Had several problems with them and ad the end I discarted the bought theme and reworked the default Prestashop for my customers. Furthermore, I want again up the discussion about Prestashops Addons comment possibility. You can rate, but nobody can read any comments on the official addons-site. Stars could be lying. Comments from users that bought are more precise. So again I request that Prestashop open the read comment section for prospect buyers.

parsifal Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) @topic starter, now look below what you've done! Damn, I recently bought a Themeforest theme and only read this right now. Could you tell me if this theme is good or not? http://themeforest.net/item/panda-responsive-prestashop-theme/9750650 Thanks a lot! imho, instead of vague warnings and generalizations, it's best to calmly inform people. Dh42, please don't take this as a personal attack, I have the utmost respect for you and any other member of this forum that dedicate their time for the benefit of the community. And just because sometimes I like putting my money where my mouth is, my little contribution to this topic: Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with ThemeForest in any way whatsoever...

Clay7 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks for the answer. The thing is that I'm a regular buyer on Themeforest, since I like the quality a lot. But it was always Wordpress or just HTML/CSS templates that I bought. I'm just playing with Prestashop since a few weeks so I don't know at all at what to look at and how it works. Then a little bit more help regarding that would be very nice But it is true you have to be very aware of what to buy on Themeforest. For example from my expierence there I've discovered a lot of 'fake' comments saying "Very good support" and "Great theme it's working great" and other stuff like that... There were for example 20 comments like that while the theme was only bought 10 times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
