thanks. having just spent an entire weekend dealing with the difficulties caused by a fresh install to get my site into working order again, i really don´t fancy going down that path.
even if it worked, and even if it went smoothly we are talking hours of time just to get my install to accept an activation key.
surely there has to be an easier way?
and surely if that is the way to ´properly´install the theme, that should be reflected in the instruction video.

thanks catlin. i actually took the plunge and upgraded to 8. for info before switching i had resolved the tag div slider issue – which was js related. having upgraded to 8 the mobile theme is still appearing on tablet though. i can´t see any settings to change this, but have read on other posts that the mobile theme is designed for phone size screens only, the desktop site should appear on tablet?

thanks for the reply bogdan.

no errors at all (other than i can´t activate it which i reported on another post).

it has been a long weekend of battle against the theme, but i´m pretty well there now. some specific quirks still outstanding.

i can´t get any full grid to work for example so i´ve had to go boxed. doing my best to go with the tag div composer, but i´m really not feeling it.

worst of it is that despite having less on homepage now than in old theme, my pagespeed has slumped from 85 to 58 desktop – and the 58 is having worked super cache settings beyond your theme recommended which were giving me 51.

my feedback is that some more realistic notes would be better. the video and docs give the impression that the upgrade/switch and a new demo is a job to complete in minutes. It is hugely more complicated than that. It is a set aside a weekend job – and a good 10 hours of that could have been avoided with better documentation, a coherent start to finish tutorial instead of scattered docs and videos which leave you coming across essential info that you had no way of knowing existed until something goes wrong and you start hunting.

I hope you´ll take that to whoever decides these things at td

Thanks Catalin, though that design tweak is the far lesser of the issues.
More importantly are the two functions not working – the tag div gallery and the mobile theme appearing on tablet.
