Themes Review Imperial

Templates Download WordPress Blog / Magazine Imperial



If you’re using or considering purchasing Imperial, you may want to take a look at my new theme Conduit. It has a similar visual style, and is backwards compatible with Imperial. Meaning, your reviews will be in tact.

Imperial is a theme with no specific focus. It’s not sure if it wants to be a personal blog, or house an online magazine. It’s not even sure if it’s black or white, for that matter!

Support & Feature Requests

First – read the help documentation that came bundled with the theme. It is also available on the theme’s live preview site.

Please send me a direct message via themeforest if you’re having trouble with your theme, and I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible. Please be patient, as I work freelance full time and do not have dedicated time for theme support. I will not answer support requests left as comments here.

Also, it would be a good idea to a read through my Terms of Support document, which outlines the extent of support I offer, and information regarding updates, warranty, and compatibility.
