    Darrel, Don't ruin your reputation promoting this theme. I was super impressed with your last Flatsome tutorial and I watched it once before making the purchase and once again after I bought it, and again while working on the Flatsome theme. I purchased it 3/6/18, just a couple weeks ago. If I were to have written a review anytime during the first week, I would have given it a 5 Star rating. Then came an issue that I am finding out a lot of people are experiencing.
    Images are not loading fulling. I literally tried to replicate what you did in the last Flatsome review. A slider at the top with three slides, and a template row of three images taken from the Flatsome Studio. What is happening is two or all three of the slides are loading. One, two, but not all three of the smaller images are loading in the row below the slider.
    I contacted support Flatsome support and was impressed with how quickly they got back to me. Just a few hours. They recommended that I install the plugin "Really Simple SSL". I did install the plugin but it did not solve my issue. I tried to update support two times after this and they did not respond. Mind you I even bought the extra support plan. After a few days of waiting with no luck for them to get back to me, I went public and wrote a negative review. Someone from Flatsome replied with a comment that they don't offer support for the backend. I replied to there response three days ago trying to explain better my issue because it is not a backend issue. It is an issue that many are having, I am now finding this out on Facebook and in Envato's comment section.
    HostGator support has spent a few hours with me this past week trying to get this to work. They have gone well beyond what is required of them. They increased the resources on my VPS to 1GB and this did not work. They asked me to contact Flatsome support to see what kind of resources is needed for this theme. I did reach out to Flatsome with this inquiry but they still have not answered that question.
    I have tried deactivating the few plugins I have installed to see if that was the culprit, no luck. I have created a new page and had the same problem with images loading.
    The theme's UX Builder must be a very big builder and uses a lot of resources so I have replaced their stock images in the templates with smaller images of my own, 350kb to less than a hundred kb. The builder runs just a little slow and if I recall correctly you experienced a few minor glitches in your first tutorial.
    I could go on and on with the measures taken trying to get this theme to run properly but have been unsuccessful. I really do like this theme but their support has not been very supportive and really leave me no choice but to request a refund and look for a new theme.
    When you read the reviews at Envato, there is an impressive amount of five-star reviews. BUYER BEWARE. I strongly recommend that you also read the comments in the theme's comment section and join the themes facebook group. Had I done those two things before purchasing the theme, I don't think I would have taken the change on this theme.
