Themify Builder

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

22 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 18 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 26 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 6K.

At the current install trend, crossing 7K+ in roughly 238 days.

   Nifty plugin that gives suprisingly enough power to create many layouts and designs. Keep it up!

   Themify is great for extremely simple websites, like 1 page brochure websites or display a restaurant menu or something like that. If you want any more advanced features in perpetuity (over WordPress version updates or Themify theme/plugin updates) be prepared to pore over your sites looking for bugs introduced during update processes. It is at the point that I am afraid to update larger websites that I have set up because I simply don’t have the time to check if each and every page to see if things have gone awry. Some examples of errors I’ve found (just in the update process of random versions, there are more when using the software in general): Site shortcodes or HTML was backed up for the update, and then restored with escape characters present. So if you had a contactform7 shortcode on the side like [contact form=”1″] then it would be restored after an update as [contact form=\”1\”], and displaying “Contact form could not be found” on the front end. Same issue with embedded iframes, other shortcodes, tables, formatted text, etc. Certain Settings or CSS properties are restored but not completely – for example there’s an option to have a “Frame” border on the sides of a row or section. I had many frames at the bottom of sections with custom colors and styles. The colors and styles were retained through the update, but the frame was positioned at the default “top” position resulting in a hard horizontal line and then the frame upside down from how I set it. More than I can remember… Support is generally responsive if you’ve paid for a level of membership but don’t expect a whole lot.So if you like babysitting a theme and bugfixing it every time you make an update, this is the theme for you. Otherwise I’d recommend trying to find an alternative WYSIWYG theme “builder”.

   who literally tried ALL the builders LOL. But Themify won me over hands down. Unfortunately for me it was also, literally, the last one I tried! I was able to figure out the navigation and tools very simply and build an amazing test site in the time I was still debating with the others each time if it was just me! Thank-you Themify, I’m on my way to purchase the Master Pack here soon. Update: I began having major issues with some things, and was told by numerous tech support folks it was the builder/themes wreaking all the havoc. Themify support was/is in my top five, and very close to the top of it. They reached out and provided support that was above and beyond. Not only was I surprised, but very grateful because as you can tell by the first raving review that I left, I very much like the builder and the themes. I prefer it to any of the top names I have tried. Thanks Themify. This topic was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by diamondartdotlove. Reason: Update

   I created an account just to leave this review to prevent aybody else from the frustrations I feel every time I deal with this hot garbage. This is single handedly the worst builder I’ve ever encountered in 15+ years of using wordpress. Only bother with this plugin if you hate yourself, and plan to never update your website EVER. I inherited maintenance of several websites using this plugin and these are the infuriating problems I encounter every time I try to do even so much as change a sentence. —Am forced to use the front-end editor, despite full tools being available in the backend, they don’t actually DO anything. You can save and update the page as many times as you like. They don’t work in the backend, at all. —Have to copy the HTML for whatever I’m working on before starting because it only goes downhill from here. —Have to make IDENTICAL changes in both the WYSIWYG <b>AND</b> the HTML (don’t forget to backup your HTML again), or nothing changes at all and it reverts to whatever you started with… if you’re lucky. If you’re not lucky you might get an even older version of what you’re working on for some bizarre reason, even if you’ve successfully saved incremental steps. —Save and pray, because 99.99% chance all your work just reverted and you have to start over. Changes so simple that they should take only a matter of minutes can turn into a project of several hours because of how awful this builder is. Do yourself and anybody you might have look at your website a favor and DO NOT USE THIS.

   I thought I should submit a review stating that I had a problem with a Themify theme breaking another plugin, but Themify technical support stuck with me until my problem was resolved. (I paid for the theme, and am in my first, supported, year.) I submitted a support ticket and was amazed when I got a response from a support person within 24 hours. The support person stuck with me, answering questions and giving me solutions, until the problem was solved. This took about a week, but each response came within 24 hours, pretty much. I’m not used to getting support this good.
