Testimonials
Really great theme! Using it here >> https://creativeground.com/ My GTMetrix score is A ( 98% ) and YSlow Grade is A ( 90% ) Lots of flexibility with this theme. Cross browser testing was perfect every time. Would recommend this theme to anyone! 5 Stars!!!by kperrow I just wished to say after buying lots of wordpress theme on Themeforest i have realized their is no theme which can outperform The 7 when it comes to easy customization with least knowledge of wordpress. You guys rock.by Kleverk ... You can say that this is a very successful project since it was done 100% by me. A designer with absolutely no knowledge about development. So this proves your theme works like a charm and it is very user friendly.by lanu39 I just bought my 4th license of the7. This is the world’s top WP theme, ever. And I’ve bought hundreds. This is a ‘category killer’, the last WP theme anyone ever needs to buy. I’m a 15-year internet marketing veteran. I’d buy a dev multi-site license if there was such a thing available. THANKS for making the world’s top WP theme. It’s all I’ll need, for years, and I’ll keep buying new ones for my new sites. You guys rock. Thank you. I’m a very skeptical hard-a$@ to sell to since I’ve seen it all. I’ve used the7 for 2 in-production sites already and working on 2 more. A+ Finally. a WP theme that leads the entire theme industry. I compare this to others, nothing matches or beats it. If I could buy you a beer, I would. Well use this as testimonial if you want, I’m a world’s top-buyer of rf content and this is helping me make a living and launch new sites to help customers. Rock on. to profits, -kenby graphic4444 I use all the different “top” templates for clients like X & U-Theme, but The7 is form a different planet… No doubt, this is for me “by far” the best WP theme I have see and purchased. So many customization, options, detailed manual, easy to use configuration etc… Beautiful coded an slick design, I’m gone stop because I don’t want you to think I’m on the payroll form the author! Purchase this template, its the best investment ever!by dimodaI have tried many WordPress themes and this is simply the best out there, period.by prophocieMy biggest mistake was spending a week or so contemplating whether to purchase this theme or not and asking questions. I bought it yesterday, installed it, and everything (including the demo content) worked out of the box! It is very powerful and the options can be a little daunting at first but take a little time to read their instructions and you’ll have your site up and running in no time. From the design aspect within their demo I have improved my creativity by learning how things worked to showcase their cool pages. I have also found within Pingdom they have one of the highest performance grades including page speed. I will definetly be using this for other sites! Congratulations.by ToniLairdAmazing theme…. Best $55 I ever spent. I use to design everything from scratch in DW and it took me months to get something that looked fair. Wordpress and The 7 have truly changed my business and the way I’ll be working with sites. A dream come true. WP and the 7 have saved me hundreds of hours of time for a better result. It’s amazing that a deign like this is available for $55. 5 stars is an understatement. Thank you Dream Team.by robertcblauI actually rate this product not only for design quality but all the features above. I have purchased and tried most of the highest ranked themes here but never seen one so versatile, non-problematic, user friendly and well performing. I have purchased a theme from you guys for the first time but in the future, you will be the first team that I will check for new designs. The visual composer works miracles for a non seasoned customer. BRAVOby aficionadotrHaving wasted hundreds of $$$ on Theme Forest themes, my client asked me to use this on his project. To my joy, this theme has more than delivered and it seamlessly work in harmony with Visual Composer 4 to the extent that I’ve found it pretty addictive with the number of options and control you have at your fingertips.by webjumpI purchased this theme months ago and although I am in the development phase, I can attest that this theme is the most plugin receptive of the majority of themes available. I have about 60 active plugins and I rarely have javascript issues. This theme has it all but you can make it even better with other plugins for web design. Per the above comment, there will be a few conflicts but this theme shoots straight as an arrow. Mark, Miami, FLby superdocJust the best theme I’ve worked up to this day. Excelent amount of features availabe. The Visual Composer combined with the template feature makes you work just FAST like light speed. The design and the other components you have to consider when buying a theme are just insanely good. If you are wondering about buy this theme, just do it. Buy it TODAY! =) Great job Dream-Theme. Cheers Richard Silvaby godatalabsThis is fantastic, flexible theme. It’s a pleasure to work with. The authors frequently update the theme, adding features, streamlining and fixing. When issues arise, they are responsive and get iterative patches out quickly.by artemesia66I have played around with this theme with every option I could think of… the quality of the design and the well put-together administration features have helped me design a very attractive website (just the way I wanted!). Every single time, just when I thought I reached an obstacle… the support behind this theme is invaluable (effective and caring). I got what I wanted

For users of previous generation of The7 Theme
First of all, please note that we’re going to provide support, security and compatibility updates for previous generation of The7 theme. We realize that there are many people who performed serious customization using child themes and we want to keep their backs covered.Therefore, if you don’t want to spend your time on updating to The7.2 (or there are no features crucial for you) – you do not have to update. Second, if you decided to update, here’s suggested update sequence (needless to say that as with any other WordPress update it’s always a good idea to perform a full site backup before beginning):
- Clone live site using “duplicator” plugin to your local environment OR put it in the maintenance mode (if you can allow your site to be offline for couple of hours).
- Rename the old theme folder and install The7.2 as you do with any other new theme.
- After being activated The7.2 will offer to automatically import settings from your previous The7 installation and choose a “fallback” skin for new settings.
- Set up new settings in WP-admin > Theme Options.
- Set up settings for pages with transparent header and “benefits” shortcodes (as they are mostly affected).
- Set “0” gap between images in “scrollers” shortcodes.
- We’ve added new settings for “grid and masonry” shortcodes so you may want to utilize them as well.
- Check everything and move your site back online with “duplicator” OR disengage the maintenance mode.
If you can afford turning on the maintenance mode on a live site, the process will take considerably less time. You can view changelog of previous generation of The7 (mark 1) here: http://the7.dream-demo.com/changelog-mk1.txt
