A short notice: The reasons I have chosen to use my own forum are quite simple:
- Themeforest support threads are not searchable. Since most questions are asked over and over again a searchable forum will greatly enhance your experience since the answer to your question might already be there.
- Second Reason: people can’t respond to each other at themeforest to help each other out, which often happens on the support forums.

Translation Information – please read (IMPORTANT)
The theme comes with a new way of integrating WPML:
Once WPML is activated you are now able to create a new set of options for each language.
This means that you are not only able to translate some posts or pages but you can also:
- add a logo for each language
- use a custom layout and styles for each language
- use different dynamic templates for each language
- translate the portfolio for each language
- in short: every language gets a unique option set
The drawback of this flexibility is the fact that you NEED to setup these options for each language.
If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Propulsion and you are already running WPML, and its working fine for you as it is please open functions.php
and in line 13 set $decativate_legacy_wpml_handling to false:
$decativate_legacy_wpml_handling = false;
If you are doing this change the new way of integrating WPML wont be loaded.
