    I am not sure which ones are broken. As far as WooThemes and NattyWP, the link is to the page that includes the themes on them. Please let me know which link didn't work for you and I'll fix.

    churchthemes.net review from a customer.

    I bought their Calvary theme. the theme is fine. but the 30 days free support is a joke. don't expect much from that. I entered a support ticket 5 days ago, still no answer. anything you buy in the store you get a full year warranty. I don't expect a full year of free support but certainly they can do better than a lousy 30 days? Wish I would have saved my money and kept the FREE version.

    the theme also did not include the psd file like they promise. I wanted the psd file for the logo so I can edit it. But it was not included. That was the main reason I bought the theme, to get the psd file for the logo.

    this is the first and LAST time I buy a theme from churchthemes.net

      Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with them. I know a lot of theme providers offer longer support and then there are some that charge monthly for it. If they promised you PSD files, they should absolutely provide you with that. Did you contact them on twitter.com/@churchthemesnet?

        update. 1.1.2013

        the entire 30 days support ran out. churchthemes.net never did answer my request for help. the theme is nice, but it's got some flaws…. I'm getting errors in the paid version of the calvary theme…. that is what my question was about. churchthemes.net never did reply. just keep the free version if you have it. dont expect any help from these guys. they promised lots of things but did not deliver. wish I kept my $40 bucks.

          Worst support in the history of forever! I have 20 tickets open and NONE have even been looked at… no "sorry for the delay, I'll be getting to them soon" NADA!

          Themes are good… but if you need ANY help at all, BEWARE!
