3. I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ACTIVATION
From v.2.x you have to activate the theme. Firstly, please, keep in mind that the one copy of our theme must be used only on one domain. If you’ve entered the code on one domain but want to remove it to other domain you have to write us to reset the old domain.
If you use a clean new site and have problems, please, follow instructions from - https://mpthemes.net/shella-shopify-theme/documentation/#toc4
4. HOW I CAN OPTIMISE MY SITE
- each new app adds JS and CSS. Loaded from new server. DNS lookup, connect to new server all these slowdowns page load. Choose only needed apps. It's up to you what is more important for your store, additional features or some more points for page speed. (I believe features is more important)
- each new element on the page slow down page speed. For example we disable product options on home page to get higher speed points.
For example, all three stores on our demo (some optimised the best, some not) has same theme code. The difference is in: a) apps, b) content, c) configuration.
5. WILL MY EXTENSION WORK WITH YOUR THEME?
please, keep in mind that our theme (and any other custom theme) isn't compatible with all third-party plugins or themes by default. You often (not always) need to customize the plugin or other theme to make it work properly with your theme. It's impossible for theme’s author to make the theme compatible with all existing plugins. Only default theme is compatible with all third-party plugins, because all plugins are designed to work with default theme. Most common case is a conflict if the plugins and the theme override the same default template file. In such cases you need to customize conflict template and merge plugin into theme template
