It's not easy to customize, but because I wanted the website just like the demo, I had no major problems.
But it remains very limited.

Hello,
The page’s layout is fully created with the Unyson page builder. When you open the page for editing make sure you have selected the options for Full Width and for Hide Title. Then in the Unyson editor you can add a Section with a Column and inside a Special Heading. You can click the section and add a background image to it and then write your desired text in the Special Heading – https://imgur.com/a/bN35OJL

There are a lot of things I like about this theme, but one is that it just did what we needed without a lot of work. We've since started adding more and more to our site at JoyRibar.com, and this has been a joy to work with. All our readers comment on how nice the site looks. Thanks, and PLEASE keep up the good work... I'd hate to have to change ;-)

It's unfortunate I can't select more than one "reason" for my praise of this template. In addition to a beautiful, functional theme with great features, Subsolar Design's customer support--even after my support window closed--got right on board to help me solve a problem which occurred after an update. Stayed with me to the end and a perfect resolution. Thanks, Petar!

Excellent theme. My client was really pleased with the appearance and speed of the plugin and how we managed to bring her site online in a reasonable amount of time. Thanks!

The design of their template is great, the customer support better! People from subsolar has always answered all my doubts in very short time. I highly recommend them if you are thinking of buying their products.

I like the theme very much. Also, there was an issue while I installed the theme which they corrected within a few hours and were very helpful.

The theme relies heavily on WooCommerce and there is no option to not waste database or space and not install WooCommerce for those who will not sell their books on their site. Yes, you can "turn" stuff off in WooCommerce to not make it look like a "store", but WooCommerce makes a poor location for basic info and a waste to have it when you don't plan on using it to sell. The creator should have created perhaps another demo version that doesn't even use WooCommerce. A nice design and overall nice layout, but no option to not even install WooCommerce with the same layout and design (and feature such as read sample) is a turn-off and poor overall concept.

Great theme for authors, with excellent customer support. It took some work to get everything looking right from desktop to mobile, but the tools to do so were included and easy to understand. My only wish is that the theme had a built-in understanding of book series. As is, it seems to be made for stand-alone novels only. I've used my series titles as categories to get around this, but it would be great if the theme could make reading order clear for new customers.

I am a complete beginner to wordpress and the below are my thoughts about the Odrin theme.
1. The design is simply beautiful and flawless, all i had to do was just use their visual editor and Unyson, It was matter of drag and drop for me. So everything was easy for me.
2. Almost everything was customizable, There are few exceptions, but for an average author requirements they tick all the check boxes.
3. The support provided by them was top notch, they respond back within few hours itself and they answer to your every question.
4.The design of the Theme was created by keeping in mind that some of them may not have much experience with building a website, so they mentioned even the size of certain pictures in their theme itself and most of the information will be provided in their documentation. The documentation was very detailed that it supports every authors needs, be it you are selling a book or you are just using your website to promote your book or you want to link it to amazon and other websites.Overall, This theme is simply superb and more than i expected, It was life saver for me and save me a lot of money on hiring a web designer.All i wish for and expect from them is that they continue developing and providing support for the theme.The name of my website is: www.indianlanguagebooks.com
My website is very basic one.
You can also refer to the website: https://charleswjonesauthor.com
its a semi pro website.
You can also refer to the website: https://decastell.com/
its a pro website, but some of the features was done with a web designer.Overall, if you are an Author and you wanna build a website for your books, Please don't even think twice, just buy Odrin Theme and use the website "https://charleswjonesauthor.com" or mine as your reference.

The theme looks great but there is hardly customization possible. I would have expected at least font sizes, colors for different items, padding/margin, etc. Now I have to inspect each part of a page, copy the CSS of that element and alter it in the Custom CSS field in the settings.Using a child theme has no use (only if you want your own functions) because the CSS of the master style overrides the child theme style. It's only possible to use Custom CSS in the settings. I prefer my own child theme style.Also there is no translation available, leaving the customer to translate the whole theme language first.The very high price gave me certain expectations. The theme looks great, but I think it is very overpriced, compared to other themes I have bought. It would have satisfied me if there were more customizations available and at least a handful of translations.

Customizing this was a huge learning curve for me, but it is so beautiful and ingenious that its been worth the frustration. It will take me months to get it all done, as I have a quite a few books and adding more. The support is great. If you are new to selling from a website, it makes it easy to understand.

This theme has been a dream to work with. It is both elegant and powerful. Support has been excellent and I've asked them a lot of questions. I can't believe how well designed it is. Thank you.

Hello,
And thank you for this beautiful theme !
How can I replace the header background image in the “My Books” template ? (Like the purple image background for “Discover the universe” on the demo : http://subsolardesigns.com/odrin/demo1/my-books/)
The background of the header appears in gray on my website and I can’t find where to change it. Thanks !
Review Left On 05/02/2022
You said
The best way you can change this is to use the Custom CSS field in the Theme Options under the Styling tab. Write there the following code:
.MAIN-CONTENT .post-323 {
background-image: url(‘url-to-your-image);
background-size: cover;
}
.MAIN-CONTENT .post-207 {
background-image: url(‘url-to-your-image);
background-size: cover;
}
Where 323 and 208 are the IDs of the pages you want to change.
But it’s not working by my side, I put the write ID and your code but the main background image on the Two book welcome page remain the same. Please help

Pro's - theme setup is easyCon's - I've never seen a 'theme' that has zero customization and this one has just that.There is no options at all to customize, it's missing basic customization, like the header, and is only good if you want your site to look like everyone else's or if you want EXACTLY what they demo looks like.I've worked with dozens of themes, it lacks normal abilities, has a very limited 'drag and drop' and simply isn't worth the hefty price-tag.

This theme is easy to use and looks great. And most importantly loads quickly. I'm glad I found this theme and recommend it to other authors who are looking for a integrated WooCommerce theme. https://charleswjonesauthor.com

Only after we purchased the theme and tried installing then we realized that Unyson is no longer being updated and supported.
For those having issues with Unyson while importing demo content, you can fix using this method:
https://github.com/ThemeFuse/Unyson/issues/4172
Just wondering if refund is possible if there are more critical errors affecting the functionality of the site.

Hello,
Thank you for the beautiful theme, i have nothing to complain about the theme, its simply perfect. However, i have one small issue, I have added multiple products to my website and by default the heading of the products appears as H2. How can i change the headings of the products to H1.
For example: https://indianlanguagebooks.com/product/learn-kannada-book/
The product name “Spoken Kannada for Absolute Beginners” in the above link has the size of H2 and i couldn’t find a way to change it into H1, please help me.
Thanks & Regards,

I've been very hesitant before the purchase. I've been looking around and thinking for about 2 weeks and I ended up that there is no other theme, at least at the moment, to meet all the needs for author and book landing pages in such a modern way. This theme has all the needed features and it is so easy to customize that you don't really need support to help you out.
Before the purchase I was very skeptical about the lack of VC or as somebody wrote the minimum customization. Well Unyson does the trick for what you need and customization is fine. Not fantastic but fine and hopefully may be in the future some more customization tools to be added. Nevertheless, an in built "back to top" button could have been a nice addition. For those who are still skeptical about Odrin, I recommend it.Last but not least, I hope the theme authors will keep on supporting their themes because I have suffered a lot of abandoned themes. Keep working on Odrin. It is very good.

Hi! Developer here. A client is using this theme.
One question. How are the posts for the popular posts sidebar widget selected? It seems like the posts that are used are static and don’t really change depending on views or anything else.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, I am not able to use this theme. But it is beautiful and subsolar does attempt to resolve whatever issues you might have while setting it up. I would not hesitate to return to subsolar for my next website change.

Lovely looking theme, although I haven't used many of its features. Would love to see integration with mailerlite.com as this is a cheaper alternative to MailChimp and hope the developers add it one day

This theme is just great. I am a web developer, my husband is a writer. I thought I would have to do a lot of coding on whatever theme we chose to base his website on, but Odrin has needed nothing from me. The only adaptation I had made in code was added as a functionality mere weeks later.
I have asked Subsolar for customer support twice, and have received it within 24 hours both times. The answers I got were both understanding and professional.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this theme for anyone selling or showcasing their own books. It's a beautiful theme that speaks to the imagination.Very pleased, keep it up Subsolar!
