Important Theme Usage Considerations
The one-click demo import allows for quick setup with demo posts if desired. However, sample images used in live previews are for demonstration purposes only and are not included with your purchase. Certain site-specific settings, such as social media links or particular widget configurations, will require manual setup. Features that depend on external service providers (e.g., social media follower counts, Instagram feeds) are offered for convenience, but their continuous functionality is subject to those third-party services.
