I bought the Avada theme and it had dirty code in the xml file

Hi, I submitted a ticket about this and also sent a copy of the Avada theme xml file to themeforest. It really messed up my site, adding 214 spam messages as pending and some approved. I had blank pages and needed the help of my host in cleaning out the database. I needed to use a wordpress spam attack plugin in order to get rid of the pending comments as there wasn’t the ordinary tick box. I’m really upset at themeforest and the developers of Avada, I at least thought that people checked files before selling them. I’m on hold till themeforest decides to answer my ticket, am I right to be so upset. Will themeforest return my money or will I have to contact my bank?

Hi Anisa, I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having trouble, can you please post your support ticket ID?

Thank you for your quick reply. I was thinking that perhaps my ticket (VYU-255-48367) had got stuck in your spam filter due to that fact that I uploaded the file with the code as an attached so that I could prove what I had purchased. Maybe I was fortunate yet I have never had an issue like this with any theme or plugin before.

Hi again Anisa, I can confirm that the mentioned ticket has been successfully received, and will be forwarded to the appropriate staff for revision. Hang in there, and as soon as the issue has been analyzed, they’ll be sure to contact you. Your patience is appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you for your reply Dzinc, fingers crossed that it gets sorted soon.

Hi Dzinc, my website launch has been on hold because of this, which is incredibly unhelpful. I can’t take the risk of buying another theme from Themeforest and launching my site without this being sorted. Is it possible to move this up as a priority? I’m not requesting that anyone fixes anything, other than having the money that I paid credited back to my themeforest account so that I can buy a theme without dirty code. thank you

Do you really think 14k+ people are wrong and you are right?

Just because you don’t know how to use an item does not guarantee you a refund.

Actually I do know how to use the item. And who are you to come and question what was given to me in a file? (which may I add that I sent a copy of back to themeforest), so if you have nothing constructive to add, then I suggest you go and swallow your own bitter pills elsewhere.

Thank you Themeforest Staff for now sorting this out. Much appreciated.
