Who Still Uses Cube Portfolio?
We have been loyal customers of ThemeForest for years, purchasing a variety of website themes that have consistently met our needs. However, this particular theme has left us thoroughly perplexed and frustrated. The issue stems from its reliance on Cube Portfolio, a plugin that has not only become outdated but is also no longer supported by its developers. This presents significant challenges for functionality, compatibility with modern web standards, and long-term usability.
What’s even more concerning is the lack of response or action from the theme’s author. Despite feedback from users, there seems to be no intention of addressing the issue or updating the theme to remove its dependency on this 2015-era plugin. The author has made it clear that there are no plans to replace Cube Portfolio or provide an alternative solution, leaving users with a theme that cannot fully perform as expected.
For businesses or developers relying on this theme, this creates a problematic scenario. Outdated plugins not only limit the theme’s potential but also pose security risks and compatibility issues with newer versions of WordPress or other platforms. It’s disappointing to see a theme with potential being hindered by reliance on obsolete tools, and even more so when the creator is unwilling to provide the necessary updates or support to ensure a smooth user experience.
This situation highlights the importance of verifying long-term plugin support and developer commitment when selecting a theme. While ThemeForest offers a wide variety of excellent options, users must remain cautious and consider the risks of relying on themes that incorporate unsupported components. It’s a frustrating experience, but one that serves as a reminder to carefully evaluate both the theme’s functionality and the developer’s track record before making a purchase.
