Support

Support Process (if support is on)

1. First look at the navigation menu on the left side of the documentation. You will get all important topics here.
2. Search the entire document pressing "ctrl+F", enter your query string and press "Search".
3. If you still do not get the answer of your question, then contact us via codecanyon and always give your live URL when asking for help.
4. When asking for help, please provide the details and also give some screenshots if possible.

Why we do not give support through codecanyon comment section?

1. Do not ask for support in the comment section of codecanyon. Because our codecanyon account access is restricted and support team will not be able to reply. In that case, support will be delayed.
2. It is tough to track the communication in this way.
3. We think, it is not wise to show eveyone your website's URL and other sensitive information.

Support Hours and Time

We give reply to our support emails within 24-48 hours.

Advanced or Modification Support

If you request us help, which only needs us to write a couple lines of code, we will assist you in that. But if your query requires to write a lot of codes to be published, we can only provide you guidance and you need to hire a developer if you don't have that skills to implement it yourself.
