Questions
Questions about Mainstay
Can I try a theme before I buy?
Yes. Every product has a live demo you can click through on your phone and your computer, and its full setup guide is on this site.
What do I get after paying?
A download link right away, on the confirmation page and by email. It contains the theme, its companion plugin, a child theme and the documentation.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once. Your licence includes 12 months of updates and support, and the theme keeps working after that.
Can I use it on more than one website?
A Single site licence covers one live website plus test and staging copies. Where a product offers an Unlimited sites licence, it covers as many websites as you build.
What if it does not work on my site?
Email us and we help you get it working. If it does not work as described and we cannot fix it, tell us within 14 days of buying for a full refund.
Does it work on WordPress.com?
Our themes need a self-hosted WordPress site (WordPress.org software on hosting such as Hostinger, SiteGround or Bluehost). They do not work on the free WordPress.com plans, which do not allow uploading themes and plugins.
Does support cover code I add in the child theme?
Support covers the theme as we ship it. If something stops working after you add your own code, we help you find out whether the theme or the new code is the cause, but we do not write or fix custom code under support.
Do I need to know code?
No. Everything is edited in the normal WordPress editor, and the setup guide walks you through each step. A child theme is included if you do want to add code.
