Feels like a retroactive subscription trap for long-term buyers
If you are looking for a reliable partner for a WordPress project, I personally recommend looking elsewhere. I previously purchased 'The 7' theme numerous times and recommended it widely. However, the developers (Dream Theme) completely changed their update policy, introducing a recurring subscription model despite many longterm users buying under the impression of a lifetime arrangement. Following this transition, large banners began appearing on client sites warning about a lack of future security updates and potential breaking functionality unless a new subscription was paid. Handling the resulting fallout and client communication cost me days of uncompensated work. Based on this experience, I no longer trust their licensing promises and strongly advise considering other options before committing to this theme.
