This layout is the most difficult thing I've ever tried to work with. If you like spending hours trying to fix little things on your website, then you will love this layout. Everytime I have requested help, they are unable to actually answer my question. I am always able to figure it out with hours of coding, but this is definitely not meant for anyone who wants something easy, usable and mobile friendly.

Quick note: my rating is not for how the theme looks or works once it's all set up. It's a beautiful theme and absolutely perfect for travellers.But do NOT buy this expensive theme unless you are a) prepared to buy third party plugins that are required to make this theme work to its best advantage, and b) a dab hand with php and more techy 'back end' Wordpress stuff.I've been using Wordpress since about ten years ago, and I can't figure this theme out. I don't know how to find half of the features that are built-in, and the other half as mentioned above belong in plugins that you have to pay extra for.I'm going to take advantage of support and ask a few questions, see if I can figure it out but PLEASE make sure you really know how to build a theme up from the ground, as this is not at all 'plug and play'.

Good design, easy to customize. But really slow !! 26/100 on page speed insight (with wp-cache and co...)... The demo theme is 45/100... The only problem.

It's a fantastic theme with endless possibilities and examples. I cannot thank the team enough for putting this out there and always helping out within a day. Stunning theme and excellent team of experts. Highly recommend!

very difficult to use, I stopped using it because it is very complicated and has many options, and other topics with more options and more simple.

Very good theme, at first I needed a bit time to get used to it, but the customer support works very fast and is very helpful. Maybe a bit fuller documentation is needed, more things to be included in the instructions, but overall I enjoy it.

The design is beautiful and exactly what I was looking for in a theme. I'm able to customize the theme the way I want, and the support staff are always on standby if I need any help.

This is not an easy template to use and understand... If you are new to wordpress, you might want to find something more simple.

Hello,I really recommend you this theme because the support is really good and the theme is just amazing. We are using it on our blog : https://www.digital-nomad-couple.com

It's a great template if you are really good at Wordpress and understand how to change the basic things.

Great support received and little 'bugs' resolved quickly! Love the intuitive theme and have found it easy to use and set up.

I can choose only one reason for the rating, but for 5 stars, this theme and service in each category deserves.

This is a great template if you're really good with Wordpress and figuring out how to change even basic things. The documentation that comes with it doesn't fully explain things, so you have to really dig to find where to change some things. If it was easier to customize, you could create a really great site! Bummed that this didn't work out.

I've been waiting well over 48 hours for a response from your team regarding the Backpack traveler template. I really need assistance in setting up this theme and someone to get back to me asap regarding the questions that i have. It's such a beautiful template but I am struggling to understand how to get around it. Please respond to private ticket asap. Thanks

I loved the design and also the customer support. I'm new to CSS and HTML and when I need to make some changes, I just ask the team for help, who gives very explained answers.Really loved everything about this theme and the team!

Beautiful theme, very good looking. It is true however what others say; the documentation covers the basic aspects of the theme and its construction - but definitely does not cover some of the neat aesthetics shown on their demos; for example some widgets have used a custom html module rather than an in-built easy-to-use module (social media icons in sidebar for example).If you are not comfortable spending extra time and getting dirty with the theme and its functions, this may not be for you.Support has been mostly good - I have one ticket outstanding in which they tried to help once, but gave me an option that does not exist in my theme options (and I am awaiting their response now).

Updating a previous review: This theme does have a lot of customization options, which can take some time, but customization is also one of the benefits. If you work of the templated pages, it's not too difficult to set everything up!The Mikado team has also been responsive when I've had questions about the theme.

I't a good theme but need to improve the speed test and functionality. It is important to know that the maps that appear in "Destinations section", you had to do it yourself. Is not a theme functionality. A lot of HARD HARD work. You also need to know adobe editing tools.

The Demo Content Import is finicky and unfortunately, not showing up correctly on my website causing the site to be down for 3 days. Unfortunately, customer support takes over 24 hours to get back to me and has recently suggested that it is not 100% guaranteed because sometimes servers are not strong enough to handle demo import. I have never had trouble with previous themes. Now, I can't even go back to my previous theme and my website is still down. Although the Demos look amazing, I would not recommend this theme. The installation is not user friendly at all.

Awful documentation, I don't have the theme options that are in the demo, i have waited multiple weekdays for my ticket to be responded to. If you read the public tickets, he says on most that he will reply in private so it doesn't even help. If you want to pay more, then you get the revolution slider. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS THEME UNTIL THE AUTHOR STEPS UP ON HIS CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I love the design, but like many said, you have to create a lot by yourself. Those are just well designed images. It is definitely not for the first time users so I would recommend you know your way into designing, using html and using Wordpress before buying this

As a new user to Wordpress, we were looking for something to help give us a head start on our Travel Blog and this theme appeared to tick off most of the major boxes.After purchasing the theme we have found the support to be wonderful with quick responses, even over the Christmas Holidays (thank you Mikado!!!) It's been a learning curve on how everything works but we are getting there and are very pleased with the tools / templates and features of the template.Although I truly feel like it's time to go back to school and learn me some CSS / Java / and Wordpress... I want to know more!Thank you for the great theme. Steven
