Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? Maybe we have answers.
I have been in the IT industry for a long time, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a business partner as kind and well-intentioned as George. This is truly a first for me. The documentation is superb, well-organized, and easy to understand. The code runs surprisingly fast, beyond what one would expect from WordPress. If I ever embark on a different web project in the future, this will be my first destination.
We wanted a theme for our Wordpress site that looked clean and that would be easy for users to navigate our blog posts. Hive by Pixelgrade was perfect for this.
I do wish there were further customization options available- installing CSS Hero became helpful for this, although the plugin disrupted the look of certain features in our Pixelgrade theme.
George from customer service was extremely helpful and kind and responded quickly to all our questions. We would recommend Pixelgrade to a friend.
I am unsure if and how this theme has been updated in the past (no changelog found anywhere), meaning I am a little nervous about the coming bigger changes to the_loop() and others breaking the site or, at the least, not being taken advantage of.
The amount of whitespace in medium-smaller breakpoints and in general is somewhat overkill. Especially embedded pictures should not be even smaller than paragraph text, taking advantage of Gutenberg’s “wide” would fix so many things but, again, I am not even sure the theme has seen much work since Gutenberg.
Customizability could be better. Independent font selections, for example, as well as allowing us to use locally saved Google and other fonts to not piss off the perpetually annoyed GDPR/DSGVO disciples of doom, would be amazing.
Yes, all this can be done in a child theme, but at this point I am not sure I want to stick that much time into a child theme without any clear indication if this theme is still around in, say, a year.
I was looking for a well-designed masonry-style WP theme. The demo website of the Hive theme is extremely beautiful and elegant, which really caught my attention. Though actually, the blog I want to use it for will be much more conceptual, rough, imperfect and open-ended, so I needed to “un-beautify” the theme. Due to another project, I didn’t have any time to work on it lately, but it’s high up on my list.
One downside: When I changed the background colour from white to something darker, I noticed a bug in the theme and informed the Pixelgrade team. Andrei provided some CSS code as a workaround in no time, which was great. However, the theme itself hasn’t been updated, so I guess the bug is still there. I hope that a bug-free version will be circulated shortly.
I would recommend Pixelgrade, especially for the forthcoming responsiveness I have experienced.
Spend some time online to look for a new theme to pepp up my old blog. Fell in love with “Hive”. Took a lot of time to think about it and then .. just did it! I managed quite allright. Had one problem, but the support solved it superfast. Seems to have been no biggy for them. Very friendly, too! Made the entire experience even better.
I love the design. This is high quality for sure, worth every cent of it.
Andrei was quick and efficient in solving my issue. I couldn’t figure out why a photo wasn’t showing properly and he was able to fix it and show me how to do the same thing with the rest of the posts.
I am new to WordPress and trying to set up my own blog. Themes from Prixelgrade look really good and their Support team makes a good job 👍 All good so far but I’ll definitely write another review when have more experience with it
I am absolutely delighted and grateful by Pixegrade’s customer service. The response is immediate, and the team has always tried to answer my questions and solve my problem (without giving up until it was in order). In addition to offering great themes, they also offer seamless support.
You are too kind, Frédéric!🙈 Always great to hear this feedback from our customers. Cheers!
I bought Hive because it was the best-looking blog I found that was in alignment with my sense of style. I don’t see any downsides. I am able to do with it exactly what I want.
To a friend I would say that Hive incorporates the best retro feel with modern tech capability.
One point of dissatisfaction is I feel limited with how to create title styling. It is complicated to have to use quotes or colons or all caps to effect bold or italics, although, after 200 blog posts, I’m getting the hang of it.
Thanks for your review, David.
I bought hive theme because I liked the easy look. I am still struggling to enhance site speed, but pixelgrade stuff is super supportive and helpful to speed the site up. Great experience 🙂
Thank you so much for your time and review, Lars.
