   I’m now using the Scrapbook one for a friend’s personal blog.

   “Punchcut” appears to be a pro theme = $$ to use.

   “Trial download – No support and limited features.”

     Does the trial download offer the theme?

     I’ve taken off the link.

       There are 2 versions of the theme. You can buy a membership and get a support package with the theme or download the no-cost no-support version.

       The no-cost no-support version also appears to be “feature limited” but without purchasing a membership and getting access to the “feature full” version there’s no way to tell in which way it is “feature limited”.

       In any event, the no-cost no-support version is a fully functional theme (and a very good one) and can be downloaded from Jestro’s site.

         Thanks for the research, Len. Link restored.

       This is Drew from Themes by Jestro and creator of Punchcut. I wanted to clear this up. Punchcut is a fully functional GPL WordPress theme and can be downloaded from our site for free.

       If you sign up for our PRO membership you get access to a separate child theme that includes 2 extra page templates and the option to add your logo in the header. You also get access to professional support.

       Regardless, the core theme is fully functional and free to download.

         Drew,

         Thanks for the clarification. Would be great if you put this out when submitting your theme.

           Thanks for the suggestion Perurry. Next time I will include the fact that we have a paid upgrade in the submission.

   When a website is pushing for revenue, the details of what exactly constitutes a free version of a pro theme are often fuzzy. It appears things have been defined and better explained in this thread than what is on the Punchcut web page. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to sort this out. Maybe instead of “limited features” next to the free download link, a better description would be “fully functional core template”? Many people who despise crippleware are put off by the words “limited”. Just a thought.

   Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it. I agree that “limited” can be off-putting to some and will definitely look at adjusting that phrase.

     Try “lite”

   I like Patagonia most… I wish there were some wide-screen themes in this set.
