Do any of those themes come with the option to add a gift shift for monetization purposes?
Hello,
You stated for the Kleo theme, “it lets you easily create a stunning dating, community or membership site.” It did not have the function for “dating” and search options typical in a dating website. Was it updated to include these features? Features that allow a member to search with filters such as age, height, location male for female or male for male etc.
I noticed in the forum in a much older post how there needed to new code added to gain these options..Thanks.
