Used it in a few projects, and it works well overall. Lots of options and pretty flexible. Setup took a bit of time at first, but once you get it, things become easy. tnx devs for the work.

Hi Redux Framework team,I’m using Redux Framework for my theme (Liberty), but I’m really frustrated with its translation support, especially after WordPress 6.7 and later updates (I’m on 6.8). My theme’s primary text domain is liberty, but for Redux settings, I’ve used a separate text domain (liberty-settings) to avoid conflicts and gain more flexibility. However, Redux fails to apply translations for its sections and fields (e.g., “General Settings” or a test string in $args[‘footer_credit’]), even though the strings are translated in the liberty-settings-fa_IR.po file. This inconsistency between WordPress’s translation system (which works fine for my theme’s liberty text domain) and Redux’s handling is a major drawback. The _load_textdomain_just_in_time error introduced since WordPress 6.7 only makes it worse. I’ve posted a detailed explanation in the support forum—hoping for a fix! Please prioritize improving Redux’s translation compatibility in future updates. Thanks!

The theme is so great. I love these guys at Redux Framework, their eye is not on making money because most advanced features which are usually available on premium themes, Listingpro made them available for free.

I have been using the Redux Framework as it was recommended for the Travelista theme on my WordPress site. However, my experience with this framework has been far from satisfactory due to its significant impact on site performance. Performance Issues: Unfortunately, the benefits of using Redux are heavily outweighed by the severe performance issues it has caused. Since installing Redux, I’ve noticed a substantial slowdown in my site’s loading times. This is particularly problematic where speed and user experience are crucial. My page load times have increased significantly, which negatively affects user experience. If you’re using the Travelista theme or any theme that recommends Redux, I would advise caution. While Redux may offer robust customization options, the cost to site performance is too high. In a time when speed and performance are critical, using a framework that slows down your site can have detrimental effects. I hope the developers prioritize optimizing Redux for better performance in future updates.
