FAQ
-
YES! Whether your theme is free or premium, Brix will integrate with it seamlessly. Since the plugin hooks on
the_content, the use of such function is pretty much the only requirement there is for Brix to work. -
Your content will NOT be lost when switching themes, regardless of the one you choose to use. Also, since the plugin doesnt rely on shortcodes, even deactivating the Brix plugin completely will leave you with perfectly readable content in your pages.
The only thing thats not kept, are the few global options that Brix has, which can be very specific to the theme youre using.
-
Support on the plugin page on WordPress.org is completely voluntary and as such it is very limited. Feel free to post bug reports, or questions about the plugin functionality.
For more dedicated support, please consider purchasing a copy of Brix premium, which comes with premium support from the Brix staff, as well as with lots of interesting and advanced features.
-
If you had activated the Lite version of the plugin, youll need to disable it in order to unlock premium functionality.
