Disappointed with Lack of Support – Beware Before Purchase

We’ve used the BigEvent theme to build a high-profile project (Maletsunyane Braai Festival website), and while the design is visually appealing, we’ve encountered persistent JavaScript errors in the WordPress implementation. We attempted to contact the developer multiple times via email and through the support channels provided, but unfortunately received no response.

This lack of support is frustrating—especially when the issues are clearly related to the theme itself. As paying customers, we expect basic responsiveness and accountability, especially for a product listed on ThemeForest.

If you are considering this theme, proceed with caution unless you’re prepared to debug and fix technical issues on your own. A premium theme should come with reliable support—this one does not.

Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that you’re experiencing an issue, and we completely understand how frustrating technical difficulties can be during an important project.

However, we would like to clarify a few things for accuracy:

✅ We received your very first support request just 17 minutes before this public comment was posted. This is verifiable in our system. ❌ Your claim that you contacted us “multiple times via email and support channels” is not accurate. We did not receive any earlier communication from your end.

We take all support requests seriously, and while our standard response time is within 1–2 business days, we often respond much sooner. We have already begun reviewing your issue regarding WooCommerce template compatibility and will provide assistance as soon as possible.

We kindly ask for your patience and cooperation. Leaving a negative public comment so shortly after your first message—without giving us a reasonable chance to respond—may create a misleading impression for other potential users, which is unfortunate.

Rest assured, we’re here to help and are committed to resolving the issue. Please follow up with us through the official support channel so we can assist you properly.

Thank you for your understanding,

Great Support – Professional, Skilled, and Helpful Team

Our first few support requests (sent via email) unfortunately went unanswered, which was frustrating and delayed our progress a bit. However, when we finally submitted a support ticket through this platform, we received a prompt and professional response.

Once the ticket was seen, the support agent assigned to us truly exceeded expectations. They were patient, skilled, and clearly knew the theme inside and out. They took the time to understand our issue and resolved it efficiently and effectively. The level of technical competence and the smooth communication really turned things around for us.

While the initial communication gap was disappointing, the quality of support we eventually received deserves real praise. We’re happy to let the earlier hiccups go and give full credit where it’s due. Thank you to the support team for stepping in and making it right. You’ve earned your flowers – much appreciated!

Thank you so much for your better understanding!

Hello! I wrote to your support email a few days ago :(

Dear Team,

I chose your BigEvent theme because I was impressed by its design and the features showcased in the demo version I reviewed prior to purchase. After purchasing the theme and downloading it, I began the installation process, but unfortunately encountered significant challenges.

Despite several attempts, one of which lasted over two hours, I was finally able to upload the theme. However, what I see on my screen does not match the demo version I was shown. When I tried installing the “Default Demo,” the system indicated that everything was fine, but in reality, nothing is working as expected.

I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue promptly, as I am eager to fully utilize the features of your product, which I truly admire.

Looking forward to your support.

Hello,

We are very sorry somehow we missed your email may be. Can you please provide your website URL and admin access and write to codexcoderltd@gmail.com so that our support team will assist you as soon as possible.

PRE SALES QUESTIONS

- can this theme handle multiple event registrations? running / cycling races, etc. - can the input fields be customized? - can the payment fields be customized?

Hello!

Thank you for your interest in our theme.

Your Question’s answer below: Multiple Event Registrations – Yes, our theme fully supports multiple event registrations, including running, cycling races, and other events. Customizable Input Fields – Absolutely! You can customize the input fields to match your specific requirements. Customizable Payment Fields – Yes, the payment fields can also be customized as needed. If you need additional modifications beyond the built-in customization options, you have the flexibility to make changes yourself if you’re a developer. Alternatively, you can hire our team or any other developer to implement the required customizations for you.

Let us know if you have any other questions and write to codexcoderltd@gmail.com

Best regards

Hi! Just to clear, I am very interested in this theme,

1. Multiple event registration – can this have 1 landing page and then within it will be tabs / panels for the multiple events? Do you have a template / layout for this?

2. Can each event have its own page with event details?

With input fields, I mean in an event, can the input fields being filled up by participants be customized?

Say for a cycling event, I need.

Bike Distance (50k, 100k, etc) Last Name, First Name Address Email Mobile Birthday Team Name Shirt Size Emergency Contact Number Emergency COntact Name

Etc.

Then the input fields differ per race as some are not applicable.

3. Payment options. Can this process payments via paypal? also via wire transfer?

4. I am planning this to be an event portal that other event organizers can host their event registrations. Is that possible?

4.1 Is it possible for them to have their own dashboard that they would be able to see and edit their race details but not see the details of the other events?

5. Do you have demo account available where I can see front end and wp-admin?

While our theme includes many of the features you’re looking for, it doesn’t fully address every requirement. To implement all the necessary customizations and advanced features, You may need to bring in a highly skilled developer. If you’re interested, our team can offer paid support to assist you in building out these additional functionalities. Write your interest to codexcoderltd@gmail.com

I would like to install the Event Schedule 7 style to my website. I love the titles and the ability to click on each of them and see a popup with more details. Can I add to the tiles , the event’s speaker/ speakers? I see that you have them in Event Schedule 3 , but I don’t see them in Event Schedule 7. Can I add them inside the popup as well? I want the user to view the speakers and click on their name to go to their personal page.

Also, how can I add an “Add to Google Calendar” buttonto each event? That would be super helpful.

Yes if you use style 3 or 2 you will get details page like demo.

Thanks for your response. One final question. Can Ii add more than one speaker in this demo? How will it appear? https://demos.codexcoder.com/big-event/bootcamp/

Yeah you can add speakers as much as you want thanks.

Do you have the option for the user to add a specific event to Google Calendar and ical?

Hello!

Actually Bigevent WordPress theme dose not support Google Calendar or ical. We used Event Calendar WordPress plugins for maintain event of the site. You can easily manage your event from site thanks.
