This is a great companion app to the OOTS themes.
We hit a few stumbling blocks updating an old theme full of little customisations, but the support team was helpful and swift - thank you, Corey!

The new sections are a truly welcome feature, and choosing to install only the ones you need makes a lot of sense.

Love my Turbo theme, and love the Theme Updater. Every year I update my theme to make sure everything runs smoothly. And OOTSB team are always super helpful too! Thanks!

Must admit I am very disappointed of the app and service. Totally useless. The updates never go smoothly, it's deleting all my theme customizations (which I payed a lot for) and I can't use the updated theme. Most important files need to be configured manually, and I have to hire a developer to make the changes, for extra payment ($300 to be exact). It is ridiculous as a pay you each month for this app.

Hi camieandme team!

The Theme Updater does identify customizations that it cannot carry over from your 2021 theme version so you can manually carry them over to your updated 2025 theme version.

Customizing the theme to be right-to-left and adding third party app code and customizations does introduce a lot of additional complexity. However, our support team has been helping you with each of your questions as they come up and please let us know if there is any additional help you may need by replying to your open ticket so we can do our best to help out.

All the best,

Works great although not all customizations will be transferred although its a lot better than previously. Love the new sections which have been added. Support is also great!

Hi Bonsai Tree (Pty) Ltd. team!

Thank you very much for your review! Themes that do have additional third party customizations can still view the code that will need to be transferred over, which is a huge bonus, and saves time when updating from one theme version to another.

Glad to hear that you are enjoying the new theme sections - lots more to come as our team keeps adding to new ones!

All the best,

A definite must if you're getting an Out of the Sandbox theme......you need to keep up with changes and this does it easily.
Go Pro and you get additional sections to add to your site.
