Can I see the online documentation?
You can view all of the theme’s documentation, including the install guide right here.
Do I get the images used on the demo site?
No, these were sourced from shutterstock.com and cannot be distributed within the theme. It’s intended you use your own to put your own stamp on the design. For free images, check out the excellent unsplash.com
Does Economist come with a page builder?
Yes, it comes with WPBakery, the most popular drag-and-drop page builder plugin for WordPress that comes free with the theme. It allows you to build fully custom pages by mixing and matching the existing elements.
Can I use the theme on multiple sites with a single purchase?
Nothing will stop you, but note that each license can be activated on one WordPress site at a time. You will get updates and support for the one you activate.
