I've removed 2 tacos for the 2 complaints I have
Like other reviewers before me, I was impressed with the 'Woondershop-Jungle' theme that comes with this package, and I purchased a code. As I am installing the theme for the first time, I feel the need to warn others about two issues that are not apparently clear prior to purchase.
1. The theme requires a *big* list of plugins to be installed in order to operate as intended. At least one of these plugin is *not* free to buy (ACF Pro). It is not expensive and I have an unlimited dev license for it, so not an issue for me but others must know and plan around this.
Here's what the theme setup wizard asks to install:
• Advanced Custom Fields PRO
• Breadcrumb NavXT
• Contact Form 7
• MailChimp widget by ProteusThemes
• Page Builder by SiteOrigin
• ProteusThemes Shortcodes
• SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle
• Smart WooCommerce Search
• Themify - WooCommerce Product Filter
• WP Featherlight - A Simple jQuery Lightbox
• WooCommerce - excelling eCommerce
2. The theme may not be PHP7.x compatible
I don't have time to analyze this further right now but the setup wizard crashed with a HTTP 500 error under PHP 7.3 and PHP 7.2. When I switched back to PHP 5.6, it proceeded to install.
I will revert back to PHP 7.3 after installation to see if I will keep getting issues, and if I get any more PHP errors I will request a refund; running PHP 5.6 is a no-no for me.
This is what I wanted to say, I was in a hurry to do so because it is a relatively new deal, the demo looks great and many people will probably decide to buy it. I feel they should know about this.
YMMV.

May 9, 2024Hi, there!
First of all I would like you to thank you for your point of view.
The reason why we include a couple of plugins into our theme is simple. We could either developed all those plugins themselves, but it would take us months and they defenetely wouldn’t be that powerfu, so we decided to rather find a couple of plugins from trustworthy developers and include them in our themes. And untill this day, they all work seamlessly with WoonderShop theme.
ACF Pro plugin is paid plugin actually, but it comes with WoonderShop for free, so don’t worry we took care about that too.
Regarding PHP version, WoonderShop and other themes are compatible with PHP version 7.3 & 7.2, so the reason for error should be somewhere else.
If you have any other comment or feedback regarding our themes I’m more than happy to talk about it. And if you get in trouble using our themes, feel free to open a support ticket from your dashboard.
Kind regards,
Jaka
