| Cons | Many features are only in the paid Pro version; Sign-up emails go through wp_mail, so mail delivery must work; Readme and screens promote Pro features heavily | Only the bundled default theme ships in this package; The default theme loads Google Fonts from Google; Design changes beyond the settings need custom CSS |
